Olive Oil For Healthy Hair

Olive Oil For Hair Growth
Olive oil is known to be one of the best natural remedies for promoting the growth of good hair and skin and overall body health. This is because olive oil is rich in polyphenols which have anti bacterial and anti fungal properties. Hence, some of the most effective home remedies for hair involve the use of olive oil as it leaves the hair looking healthier and more manageable.

Olive oil hair treatment not only benefits the hair but also results in the scalp becoming cleaner. Olive oil hair conditioning is apt for curly or very dry hair as it tends to smoothen out frizzy and dry hair but does not leave any build up which is found in other hair conditioning treatments. Hence, plenty of people even use olive oil as a serum to tame frizzy hair.

Remedies for Falling Hair One of the common olive oil hair remedies for hair regrowth involves mixing one beaten egg in 3/4 cup of olive oil and then applying this mixture to the hair after it is shampooed and is still wet. This mixture should be allowed to remain on the hair for at least 45 minutes before washing it off with a mild shampoo. Thus not only is olive oil good for hair growth but it is also used as an excellent conditioner that also aids in increasing hair volume.

Some people find that using only olive oil for a hair massage tends to get too heavy; in such cases they may mix equal parts of olive oil and coconut oil to get dual benefits. Extra virgin olive oil for hair growth is found to be most effective as it has the highest levels of vitamin E and mono-unsaturated fatty acids which act as antioxidants and promote hair growth. Olive oil is also known to have emollient properties thereby minimizing hair loss and factors causing hair loss such as dandruff.

Olive oil hair regrowth treatment involves the regular use of olive oil directly on the hair and on the scalp as it helps solves the problem of brittle hair and also regularly massaging the scalp with olive oil tends to stimulate the scalp and promote hair growth. Olive Oil For Lice Treatment A lesser known fact about olive oil is that it is also effective in tacking the problem of hair lice without the agony and irritation associated with other commercial hair lice removal products. Additionally, olive oil also improves the elasticity of hair and prevents hair breakage.

Sleeping beauty: tips

It's no surprise how Sleeping Beauty captured the heart of her prince--100 years of beauty rest did wonders for her looks!

True, amazing things happen to your body while you sleep. Damaged cells, including skin, are repaired, the immune system is revitalized and energy and brain power are recharged as you rest. But even sleeping beauties need an occasional boost in the tender loving care department, especially after daily battles with beasts like sun damage, air pollution, stress and Father Time.

Since you don't have a century to spare, restore your body to its crowning glory with these overnight treatments:

1.  Be fair to your face. Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest one of all? Not the princess with the clogged pores. Keep your complexion fair by removing your makeup before retiring to the royal chambers. Pre-moistened makeup remover pads make the task simple. Wash your face with a cleanser for your skin type, but be gentle. Brisk rubbing only irritates skin. A soft washcloth or your bare hands will suffice. Follow with a good moisturizer. Bedtime is prime time to use wrinkle-fighting creams with vitamin A or retinol since they can make your skin sun-sensitive.
2.  Reverse the acne curse. The one thing worse than a witch's curse is a zit. Since bacteria and oil cause breakouts, treating pimples at bedtime with a product containing an antibacterial ingredient like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid can dry them up while you sleep. No acne treatment on hand? A dab of toothpaste (not gel) can work in a pinch. If you have chronic acne problems, visit a dermatologist who specializes in Black skin care. Above all, resist the urge to pop.
3. Treat hands and feet. Pretty hands and feet are trademarks of a true princess. Prevent chipped nails and raggedy cuticles by rubbing them with olive oil, vitamin E oil or sweet almond oil before bedtime. To soften rough hands and feet, slather on petroleum jelly, cocoa butter or shea butter and wear cotton gloves and socks to bed.
4.  Rest your pretty head. A good pillow provides you with a good night of beauty sleep. Down pillows are excellent because they conform to the shape of your head and neck for customized support. Don't forget the satin pillowcases. Satin lets your hair sweep across the pillow, which keeps your lovely mane looking fresh, and it's the perfect fabric for a princess.
5. Make your lips irresistible. Prince Charming may be reluctant to wake his sleeping beauty with a morning kiss when she has chapped lips. At night, remove dead, flaky skin by lathering lips with petroleum jelly and gently scrubbing them with a soft-bristle toothbrush. Afterward, cover lips with petroleum jelly or a moisturizing lip balm to keep them irresistible.
