Olive oil as a deep conditioner

I heard somewhere that olive is good for hair. I read that women use it as a deep conditioner. Anyone here uses olive oil as a deep conditioner?

Yes, I also heard that, and was brave and tried it Wink

Olive oil as a deep conditioner should be used once a week (as any other deep conditioner as it is leave in conditioner). I’ll be honest- it doesn’t work for me. Since I wash my hair almost every second or at least third day, olive oil, and particularly leaving it in hair, it just doesn’t work for me. I am sure olive oil has hair care benefits, but just doesn’t work on my hair. I think my hair is too greasy to be using olive oil as deep conditioner, especially as often as once a week. On the other hand, if your hair is dry, I am sure it would be ok to try it.
