Hi Ladies! Thank you for reading my first blog post-- which is just about having some girl time since we don't get to see each other enough!OK, so here's my first home beauty experiment.
To oil or not to oil?
I once read-- probably in People magazine-- that olive oil is a great, natural way to soften hair and prevent split ends, which I have a lot of. I've also heard that it can coat your hair and lock out moisture. What to believe?
One random night-- a while ago-- my sister and I decided to pour some olive oil in a bowl and dip in our long, dry, thick & curly strands. Once our hair and scalps were covered, we pulled our hair back and let it sit for...about 15 minutes. Wash and rinse. Realized I shouldn't have used the special garlic style oil. Wash and rinse again.
Once my hair dried, I noticed it was softer, not nearly as frizzy, and had a natural-looking shine that my hair has NEVER had. My sister, on the other hand, vowed never to do this again.
Bottom line: If you have thin, oily hair, you probably should never try this. For those of you who have hair made of twine, like me, give it a try for fun. But Dove's moisturizing shampoo and conditioner works even better and doesn't make you crave bread all day long.
