I have used Olive Manon Virgin Oil since young and it is indeed very effective for promoting hair growth and moisturing skin. I was introduced to it by my mum who's also an avid user. Never really had hair and skin quite dry when I was young, and I do see the difference now after years of using it. The method I was introduced to is called an Oil Pack. You'll have to massage the oil onto the skin or hair (not scalp) and then keep it under wraps with a hot towel for about half an hour before showering or shampooing. After shower and before sleep, apply gently on the affected area.
You may want to try their FREE PURE OLIVE OIL SAMPLES to see if it works for you.

Well i would prefer OLIVE OIL! but still read on!
Choosing a Massage Oil
If you are Vata-predominant, choose almond oil or sesame oil as the base oil. Both of these oils are very nourishing for the scalp and hair and help reduce stiffness and tightness in the scalp.
For Pitta persons, cooling coconut oil is the ideal choice. Because coconut is very Pitta-pacifying, coconut oil massage can retard hair problems such as thinning and premature graying that are associated with an aggravated Pitta dosha.
If you are Kapha-predominant, sesame or olive oil are good choices. Olive oil has purifying properties that help keep pores open.
While massaging with a dosha-appropriate base oil can be helpful, ayurvedic oils designed for hair and scalp massage typically include one or more hair-friendly herbs to augment the benefit of the massage. Traditionally, these herbs are slow-cooked with the oil, and the oil is then strained and ready for use.
Brahmi helps calm the mind and nervous system, pacifies Vata and is very nourishing for the hair. It helps promote hair thickness and body. Amalaki is cooling, nourishing and purifying all at the same time, so it is wonderful for all types of hair. It is especially beneficial for Pitta-predominant people because it pacifies Pitta and helps ward off premature thinning and graying of hair. It also helps prevent dry scalp and flakes. Bhringaraj, which translates to “king of tresses,” is also Pitta-pacifying and very nourishing for the hair. Hibiscus is cooling and helps maintain hair color and vitality. Neem is good for Kapha hair; it has purifying and cleansing properties. Rosemary and Lavender are excellent for all types of hair. Rosemary helps stimulate hair follicles and promotes growth, helps retard premature thinning and graying, and soothes and conditions the scalp. Lavender stimulates hair growth, balances oil production and replenishes the hair and scalp. Jasmine helps alleviate stress

mix a teaspoon of honey in warmed (not hot) olive oil. Work it on your head with a little massage. Keep it on for an hour (or 30 minutes if your short on time), and wash it off as usual with shampoo and all.
Eggs are wonderful conditioners and also add volume to hair. Beat an egg, yolk and all, and apply it to your hair. Keep it on for 30 minutes. Wash off.
But egg has one drawback. You got to rinse and repeat shampoo to get the smell out, so if you're not fond of the smell of egg, i suggest you avoid it.
My favorite is beer! After your shampoo, pour beer thru your hair. Trust me, beer is wonderful for hair. It adds volume and gives you shine!
Try out other natural recipes... they are harmless and you can experiment to find one that reallly suits you!

olive oil is always better, it restores shine and breakage.
