Olive Oil is one of those magical substances that’s ideal for almost everything – your diet, skin, hands, nails and most of all, your hair! Olive oil is absorbed quickly and therefore helps lock in moisture. The high percentage of unsaturated fat and vitamins A and E, help smooth and replenish dry, over processed strands.  We asked celeb stylist Mario Russo for a great at home recipe.

Mario Russo’s At Home Olive Oil Recipe:

For brittle or over processed hair, Boston hair stylist, Mario Russo, recommends rinsing your hair after a shampoo with a solution of olive oil and egg. 

 

Step 1- Mix one beaten egg with 1/2 to 3/4 cup of olive oil.

Step 2- Leave on for 30 minutes, covered with a plastic cap. 

Step 3- Shampoo and condition your hair and voila!

Mario suggests weekly or monthly treatments, depending on the condition of your tresses.
