Protecting the scalp can be a real nightmare without the right cosmetic products, many of which we use are often expensive in addition to carrying chemical ingredients. With olive oil and lemon we can prepare a healthy, simple and cheap hair tonic.

The extra virgin olive oil in the hair is a great alternative because it is rich in vitamins that moisturize and repair the hair leather. Whether we use it as a natural conditioner or simply as a hair repair, extra virgin olive oil for hair is an elixir.

With olive oil and lemon can prepare a hair tonic capable of eliminating dandruff and moisturize hair. The combination of olive oil with lemon is extremely powerful, since citric acid from the lemon penetrates more easily into the scalp, allowing extra virgin olive oil to nourish the interior of the hair follicle. We only need 5 lemons and 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. We prepare it in the following way:

In a clean and totally dry container, squeeze the 5 lemons and mix the juice with two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.

Once we have the mixture prepared, we just have to pour carefully (and not completely) into the hair, repeating this operation until it has been distributed throughout the scalp and then massage as it is done with any hair cream, from the root to the tips, leaving it to rest for between 15 and 30 minutes to take effect.

After the time, you should rinse well with shampoo to remove the mixture in its entirety, since the remains of lemon can irritate the scalp.

Two to three weeks after starting treatment, the results will be visible.

Dandruff is caused by a hair fungus (Malassezia) that dries the skin and roots of the hair, in addition to generating itching in the affected areas.

The mixture of lemon with extra virgin olive oil has a double therapeutic action, while lemon juice has astringent effects, extra virgin olive oil has moisturizing properties. This makes the lemon help loosen the dandruff, allowing the extra virgin olive oil to restore both the skin and the roots of the hair.

With this capillary treatment based on extra virgin olive oil and lemon, many of the functions of a regular conditioner will be replaced, after several applications, the hair will acquire a radiant, healthy and bright appearance.

The extra virgin olive oil is rich in Vitamins A, E and K, as well as helping to protect the keratin in the hair, sealing it against moisture. Thanks to the treatment of olive oil and lemon, the hair will grow strong and resistant, protected against substances that can damage it.
