For those who enjoy using natural products instead of chemical products and bought in stores, Olive oil is a basic household product. It has many benefits and uses beyond the kitchen, one of them includes serving as a deep conditioning mask for hair. However, it can be difficult to remove the Olive oil from the hair, due to its thick and greasy composition. But with a little extra care and cleaning, you can get all the benefits that Olive oil can offer to your hair while removing all the Olive oil residue.

Method 1
Rinse and condition hair
1
- Use a regular shampoo. Wash your hair thoroughly with the shampoo and conditioner you normally use. Apply the shampoo to the scalp and rub it gently. Rinse with warm water. Then apply the conditioner in the same way and rinse it. [one]
- Reapply the shampoo and conditioner if necessary. Repeat these steps until your hair feels less Olive oily because of the Olive oil.
2
- Wash your hair with a lightening shampoo. Lightening shampoos are shampoos designed to remove any buildup in the hair. This may include residues of wax, gel, lacquer, chlorine or a mask of Olive oil for the hair. Pour some lightening shampoo on the palms of your hands and apply it to the hair. Massage it gently into the hair, focusing on the scalp. Then rinse it with warm water. [two]
- This step is only necessary if your normal shampoo and conditioner were not enough to remove the Olive oil from the hair.
3
- Prepare a paste of baking soda. Combine baking soda and water to remove any residue of Olive oil. Mix the ingredients in your palm to create a paste. You simply add a little water to the baking soda until it becomes a paste. Cover your hair with it starting at the roots and advancing until you reach the ends of the hair. [3]
- Try covering the hair with a bathing cap, towel, plastic bag or other similar device. Let it sit for about 15 minutes. [4]
- Then rinse it thoroughly in the shower. Repeat these steps as necessary to remove any residue of Olive oil.
Method 2
Use other tricks
1
- Try a dry shampoo. Dry shampoo can do wonders to absorb any excess Olive oil you may have put on your hair. Simply apply it to dry hair as indicated on the package. Most dry shampoos come in aerosol containers, so spray the product and use a brush to comb through the hair. [5]
- Make sure you do not apply dry shampoo to wet hair.
- You can also rub a towel on your hair after applying the dry shampoo. The added friction should help get a little more of the Olive oil.
- If you do not have any dry shampoo on hand, you can use a little baby powder if necessary. Just spray a small amount on the crown and use a brush to comb through your hair.
2
- Use dishwasher detergent. Apply a small amount of liquid dishwashing detergent to damp hair if it is still Olive oily. Detergents are designed to remove Olive oils and can remove Olive oil from hair after other conditioners and shampoos have only part of the fat. [6]
- To avoid drying the hair unnecessarily, start with a small amount of detergent and use more as needed.
- Use a deep moistening conditioner after applying dishwasher detergent. This can dry your hair and remove all the natural Olive oils.
3
- Tie your hair back in a ponytail. If you can not get all the Olive oil out of your hair, try combing it in a tight ponytail. This style combed backwards will hide a little of the greasy residue of the remaining Olive oil and will give you more time to try to remove it. [7]
- You can make a ponytail on the top of the head or one on the back of the neck. You can even make a pretty ponytail at the base of the neck.
- Additionally, you might consider other hairstyles such as bows, French braids or other braids to hide the grease from your hair. These hairstyles are particularly effective for longer hair.
Method 3
Take appropriate precautions
1
- Give yourself a lot of time. Do not apply the Olive oil mask just before an event such as a wedding or a party. If you find problems to remove all the Olive oil, your hair may look lifeless or dirty. This can result in unattractive and greasy looking hair. [8]
- Make sure you only apply Olive oil treatments at least several days before any important event so that you have enough time to deal with any unforeseen circumstances or accidents that may occur.
2
- Avoid prolonged contact with the skin. Leaving hair in contact with the neck or forehead when applying and removing Olive oil can cause acne in those areas. Place your hair in a bathing cap or towel to avoid any potential skin problems. [9]
- Remember that hot Olive oil can burn your skin. Warm it lightly and be careful when applying it to hair.
3
- Dilute the Olive oil before use. Before applying Olive oil to hair, take precautions when diluting Olive oil with water. Dilute the Olive oil in half by adding one part and two parts water.
- Performing this step will make it easier to remove the Olive oil from the hair once you have finished with the application. This could save you a lot of trouble managing too Olive oily hair afterwards.
4
- Take everything out Leaving Olive oil in the hair for too long can be quite problematic and damaging to the skin on the scalp. It can cause pores in this area to become clogged which can result in imperfections and irritation. Additionally, you can make any skin flake (dandruff) stick to your head, which can aggravate the problem. [10]
- If one of the cleaning methods does not work, do not be discouraged. Keep washing your hair or trying other methods until your hair returns to normal.
Tips
- Olive oil is a natural way to keep hair conditioned and repair split ends. Depending on the texture and the natural fat of your hair, apply an Olive oil mask several times a week until once a month.
- Only apply Olive oil to wet or damp hair. It is much harder to remove the Olive oil if you apply it directly to dry hair.
- Warming the Olive oil lightly before applying it (for example, heating it in the palms of the hands) will make it more watery. This can make it easier to apply in small quantities.
Warnings
- Do not apply too much Olive oil when making a hair mask at home. Start with small amounts and add more as you progress; otherwise, it might be difficult to remove it from your hair.
