Yes, it works great. I used to use an olive oil based soap instead of shampoo, never needed conditioner. Now I use an olive oil based shampoo by Body Shop, I love it but requires conditioning once in a while.

Never used olive oil direct on my hair myself but I know others who have, including my wife and mother who use it occasionaly after dry summers. However, I would assume that there are better (fabricated) conditioners out there. When there were no such products I am sure olive oil was your best bet.

Here are some others' view on olive oil on hair: Once a week I treat myself to this most fabulous beauty treatment. I give my hair and scalp a massage with olive oil. Using a regular comb, comb it through my hair.

This gives it unbeatable shine and it's never looked healthier. Leave it on for an hour or two. Wash hair as normal to remove oil and wrap hair in towel to dry.

Then I run a hot bath. While the water's running I stand in the tub and scrub my face, body, and feet with a paste made of olive oil and salt- regular table salt. (This makes your skin extra soft, leaves it glowing, and has cleared up my acne.) Then I soak in the tub for 15 minutes.

The first time I did this everyone noticed "something different" about me but couldn't figure it out. I even got stopped on the street by another woman who asked me how I got such beautiful skin.So there... I've told my secret!

Yes I do it about once a month. Sometimes I do a "pre-poo", in which I heat the olive oil, work it in and let it sit on my hair for about ten minutes, then shampoo out. It really helps soften the hair and prevent excess split ends.

I also do a deep condition. Sometimes I just add olive oil to my conditioner, work it into my hair, cover with a plastic cap, and sit under the dryer for ten minutes, or if I have more time I'll let it sit under the cap with no heat for about an hour. I also have purchased conditioners that contain olive oil, but I find adding myself works better.

It's proven that oils regardless of what king can not penetrate the hair shaft. The only products that can use chemicals to reach the cortex layer, which houses color and strength to the hair shaft. The cuticle layer is simply designed to create a protective barrier for the internal structure.

Over time, the cuticle breaks down and oils sit in the lifted hole of the cuticle as filler. The problem is that even with heat, the oils eventually either becomes rancid on the cuticle due to climate exposure or dilutes in humidity. The sebum that your scalp produces is not even enough to coat the hair shaft from 1" out from the scalp to the ends, unless you never wash your hair, then it's a sebum smelly mess.No poo's only add weight to the hair.
