Olive oil is the most popular home remedy for dry hair. The rich vitamin E and antioxidant content present in olive oil help heal damaged hair by sealing the cuticle, or outer layer, with moisture. Olive oil can be used as a hot oil hair treatment to strengthen, add shine and restore moisture to very dry hair.
You should use extra-virgin olive oil, warm it slightly, rub and comb it in well from roots to tips, leave it in for at least 20 minutes, and then WASH IT OUT maybe shampooing twice to get it all. The problem for many people is the smell. Some people leave it in their hair for hours before washing it out, if they don't have to go near other people. Coconut or palm oil can work quite well too.
