Salbeeh has the right idea about the oils...don't use hot oil. I'm not sure about what she said about the acid being bad for you though, but I'm sure olive oil is great for hair. It's got the amino acids in it that's good for hair. Also hemp shampoo is full of fatty acids that will help moisturize your hair. I use Nature's Gate brand. =) Oh and if you don't want to try olive oil, jojoba oil is really great too.

First of all, never use hot oil ... Second, applying oil on hair for a long time and several times a week,will cause u hair lose, cz oil is rich is acid, and that will burn the root of ur hair.. All what u can do, is to apply olive oil only on ur hair like twice a week and for maximum 2 hours,then wash it...And i will mention to u some kinds of the best oils which can be used on hair to make it soft and help growing as well : palm oil, laurel oil ( the best ), black cumin, add to olive oil for sure. And don't miss to use shampoo made with milk...( by the way am herbalist and i have shop for hair care so take my advice into consideration) Good luck

try these tips...... they relle work!!
Hair Wash
The best way of washing hair is with Aritha and Shikakai Powder. It does not have any chemicals or any other side effects. Aritha and Shikakai powder is available at any General stores or even a banyan shop.
Shampoos
Dry Hair - Egg, Herbal shampoo or any shampoo for dry hair.
Normal Hair - For normal hair fruit shampoos or henna shampoo is good.
Oily Hair - Lemon Shampoo
Hair Oil
Oil your hair at least once in a week. If you have dry hair then oil it twice a week. Hair oil gives the necessary moisturizers to your hair. Herbal hair oil provides you the necessary nourishment along with the moisturizers.
Hair Conditioners
Henna
Henna conditions and colours your hair.
Dry hair - Add some milk, water and 1-2egg yolks in henna. This mixture will not dry your hair and will make it soft and manageable. Apply it monthly.
Normal to Oily Hair – Add water, lemon, egg yolks in henna. You can apply Henna fortnightly.
Home made conditioners
Add ¼ cup of vinegar in ½ bucket of water. This will give a good shine to your hair. Mix curds and egg yolks together and apply it for 1hour.
Hair Tonics
Try tonic Hair Oil’s powder - Put 4 tsp of this powder in water, boil it and after cooling down apply it on hair. This will stop hair loss, rejuvenate and nourish your hair.

Hot Olive Oil will not work on dry hair. The best and cheapest method is using a tablespoon of Real Mayonnaise. Real Mayonnaise has egg white which will give your hair a healthy shine. Once you wash your hair, apply the mayonnaise and let it set for abut 2 minutes. Rise throughly and dry. It repairs split ends and gives shine.

olive oil is my best friend, hands down. if you can sacrifice an hour or two, massage it all over your hair and scalp (it doesn't necessarily have to be hot) and then wrap your hair up in a towel (if you microwave the towel for about 30 seconds, it feels like heaven) and just sit tight for at least an hour. the longer the better, i have a lottttta hair so i usually do 2-3 hours. then shampoo and condition like usual and use infusium 23 leave-in conditioner spray (the old-school, original formula). it's nto hairspray so it doesn't leave your hair crunchy at all, it's just an extra moisturizer that keeps your hair hydrated and healthy. works WONDERS.

I've never heard of using olive oil but egg or mayonaise works great! My sister had very dry hair and scalp as a kid and that always made it soft and shiny. It's gross, but hey, if it works it's worth it!
