Hello this is Vivienne, I haven’t blogged for a while but need to share this tip with you as it has taken me by surprise and I am amazed with the results.

I have been colouring my hair for a while as I have the odd grey hair. Okay, I know that was a bit of a shock to read, but I am coping… My hair is naturally wavy, straight at the top falling into ringlets. Recently it has become straighter, dry and frizzy at the ends and I was really putting it down to my age! So, to make matters worse I started to use tongs to curl it, bought heated rollers and always blow dried it. Yes, you guessed it, the dratted ends got even frizzier.

Somewhere in the back of my mind I remembered reading that Jerry Hall used to treat her hair by putting olive oil on it over night.

I was a bit skeptical, but after trying umpteen frizz ease products I was willing to give anything a try. I put a drop of extra virgin olive oil on my hand and rubbed my palms together before running them through the ends of my hair. A little goes a very very long way and I didn’t want to end up with greasy hair.

I slept on an old towel and washed it out in the morning. There was an immediate improvement. 4 more nights of doing this and the frizz had completely gone and I had my ringlets back. I know it sounds unbelievable but for the cost of a few pence for olive oil I banished my frizz.

The problem wasn’t the dye but my hair drying out due to swimming regularly in a chlorinated pool and then drying it with a hot dryer. Now I can just treat my hair with a little olive oil as soon as it loses its bounce. Just to fill you in, I use L’Oreal Excellence Cream in natural darkest brown as it matches my natural hair colour perfectly. I just use a brush to colour the grey then put the rest all over for the last 5 mins to make sure that it blends in. The colour comes with a protecting lotion for the ends of your hair and also a special conditioner. Its a really good product if you are looking for a natural looking permanent colour.

Hope you find this olive oil hair repair tip useful too.
