Brief
Olive oil has a long hisÂtory as an excelÂlent conÂdiÂtioner for skin and hair (think thouÂsands of years). Rich in omega 3 fatty acids and vitÂaÂmin E, the oil penÂeÂtrates the hair shaft and helps hair hold moisÂture, while the vitÂaÂmin E fights off the free-radÂiÂcal damÂage from sunÂlight and polÂluÂtion.
