Why Use Olive Oil Hair Gel?
For many, many years, women have been using olive oil hair gel in their skin and hair care routines. Olive oil is lightweight and easily penetrates into skin and hair. No wonder curly-haired gals are obsessing over this key ingredient!
What kind of olive oil should you use?
Now here’s the great debate: There are different versions of olive oils out there and it can be quite confusing to decide which form of the oil is best to use. We suggest going with extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). Why? Extra virgin olive oil contains antioxidants with vitamin E, which is beneficial to your hair. This form of oil is more expensive but worth every penny if you’re looking for something that will benefit and add to the healthy look and feel of your hair.
How to make olive oil hair gel
Making the gel isn’t rocket science, but there is definitely more than one way to create a concoction. An easy way to create this gel is to add 1-2 teaspoons of warm olive oil to your fave gel. Refrigerate after creating your mixture if needed. Another way to create your homemade olive oil hair gel is to infuse your flaxseed gel into it during the process. While your flaxseed gel is boiling, add a few drops of olive oil into your pot and stir to mix well.
What kind of hairstyles can you create with olive oil hair gel?
Just about any style that calls for a gel is ideal for your D.I.Y. gel. The point of using this gel on your hair is to have a product that delivers moisture and doesn’t dry your hair out. Use your gel to create wash-and-go styles, tame your edges, create sleek updos, and more. Do you want to give more olive oil-infused hair care products a try?
