After a long winter’s exposure to dry indoor heat, our hair needs some nourishing relief! Here’s the simple solution. This easy hair treatment will result in healthier, more manageable hair and a really clean, invigorated scalp. Olive oil nourishes, conditions, and improves the strength and elasticity of your hair, while the couldn’t-be-easier process is both stress-reducing and health-promoting.

+ add your ownDo you have to use frankincense oil with it or don't have to?
thank you for sharing.
I read somewhere (probably on Care2) that olive oil molecules are too large for human skin/hair to absorb. Grape seed oil is an even better solution to this problem. When I moved to Calgary (very dry) from Vancouver (very wet) I got dry scalp. I started soaking my head in grape seed oil once a week for 1/2 an hour and my hair is now glossy and healthy looking and my scalp doesn't bother me anymore. It can be messy and it will stain your clothes and furniture if it drips but I just keep a towel around my shoulders and wear old clothes - and I don't rest my head on anything while it is soaking in.
I'm definetely going to give this a try!
Good to know :)
