i've been usin amla for my hair for long time of my life but recently i red here on gupshup that oilive oil prevents hair from falling so i just wanna make sure from u all that am i suppose to apply the same oil to my hair that we use for cooking cuz ammi's being overprotective that it might ruin my hair and she thinks that there's some other kind of oil for hair

My hair has stopped falling out so much - a drastic improvement in fact, since I started to apply olive oil to my hair about twice a week....

I apply a mixture of olive oil & coconut oil( 50% each). It works wonders with severely damaged hair

I massage olive oil in my hair atleast once a week, honestly it helps with relaxation too, which effects your skin! and also I mix with almond oil-I heard from some Aunty it works wonders--I agree.

YUp u can use the same olive oil as the 1 used for cooking. U cud use extra virgin i fu want, but normal olive oil is just as good. also its great for ure skin. I massage sum in my skin 4 about 5 mins, then steam, it does wonders

I think the massaging helps bring blood to your scalp which brings nutrients and helps your hair grow..plus the softening effect of oil helps prevent breakage etc.

I use olive, amla for softness/shine and also use another lemongrass/oil mix from India that is for dandruff...it rocks.

so what's better: olive oil, olive oil with coconut oil, or olive oil with almond oil orrrr olive oil with the methi ka dana that someone mentioned before?

Everything is fine - its just oil it wont do any damage; all the types mentioned above work you just have to "use it" in order to find out yaar; you use the shampoos all the time and dont get scared while they are the ones which contain so many dangerous chemicals :S
