OLIVE OIL For healthy hair for hair loss for hair growth… Hair loss occurs due to several reasons. The main cause is aging. As one gets older, it is the structure of the hair which changes. It becomes weaker, thinner, and grey and eventually dies. Besides aging, other reasons could include: frequent coloring, chemical in commercial products, deficiencies in minerals and vitamins etc. Along with many other benefits of olive oil, it can also help in hair growth, preventing hair loss, keeping the scalp healthy, eliminating dandruff and regaining lost hair. Olive oil contains vitamin A and E which are very important for hair to strengthen its strands. Using olive oil on the scalp feeds the hair with these vitamins and stimulates the hair follicles. Sufficient blood to the scalp ensures healthy growth of hair. If the follicles are clogged up, they may not receive sufficient supply of vitamins and other nutrients which may result in loss of hair, dandruff and dryness. A light massage of the scalp with olive oil may stimulate and recondition the scalp. This will increase blood supply to the scalp and essential nutrients to hair. A hormone called DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) decreases the hair follicle shaft which can cause hair loss. DHT makes the hair thin, and with the passage of times the hair becomes thinner and thinner until they die out. An increased production of DHT means thinning and dying out of existing hair and no growth of any future hair. When olive oil is applied to the scalp, it reduces the chances of DHT production and thus can prevent hair loss. The oil is also rich in antioxidants and can promote healthy environment in the scalp forest. It also contains anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties which can eliminate flakes, dandruff and even lice.
