I'm running out of my olive oil cream and without it, my hair is really dry when I blow dry and straighten it. condertioners only soften it and make my hair more damp. I have no time to go out and get more so what else can I use that won't dry out my hair. Can I use regular olive oil?
Please help. thanks

get creme of nature shampoo, at one conditioner, and palmer's olive oil sprayWhat other products can you use other than a olive oil based root stimulator???
OMG.. do not use regular olive oil or any other household products. .They do not do good only harm. They coat the hair and have a drying effect on it that makes it worse. What u really need is to use a heat protectent spray b 4 u use your flat iron, blow dryer ect. Then when u are done use a paste or a styling cream ( that is 4 hair!) when u are done.... I am a hairstylist. . GL!

Anyone ever try soaking your razor between shaves in olive oil to keep the blade sharp and corrosion-free?
From what I read, pre shave oils are basically a mixture of olive oil and castor oil. I suspect the expensive blade-soaking product I use now (which works) is similar in composition. There's nothing out there that I can find on this. Seems like soaking the razor in olive oil/or olive oil and castor oil might be a common sense, uh, solution, but I think I may be missing something.Anyone ever try soaking your razor between shaves in olive oil to keep the blade sharp and corrosion-free?
I do it all the time. Just plain olive oil. I find that it works just fine, and it costs less. It keeps the razor sharp and I get fewer nicks. I shave a much larger area than most men and the oil makes the blade glide more smoothly over the skin throughout the shave.Anyone ever try soaking your razor between shaves in olive oil to keep the blade sharp and corrosion-free?
Cool, I didn't know that. I'm gonna try it for sure!
Wow, I didn't know that. I'm gonna try it for sure!
Makes perfect sense to me,, Olive, or any other oil will keep your razor blades protected from the air which is what makes them rust.
Plus it has to cheaper, so that's all to the good. If I was you, I sure would.
OK, but with the high price of olive oil, isn't it cheaper to replace the blade / razor since they are cheap ?

What is the difference between virgin and extra virgin olive oil?
extra virgin is the most pure... it's the best you can buy....What is the difference between virgin and extra virgin olive oil?
filteringWhat is the difference between virgin and extra virgin olive oil?
Olive oil comes with many names like Virgin, Extra Virgin, Pure, Lite and what they discribe are how the oil is processed. Olives come from olive trees and are pressed to create olive oil. How they are pressed, the extraction method and how they are handled afterward is how one determines what label they receive.
Virgin Olive Oil is mechanicall extracted by machines but with no chemicals.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil is also mechanically extracted but must be judged both analytically as well as taste tests to determine that the oil is free from defects. Any oil found with slight defects but can be consumed by humans is rated, FINE.
Pure olive oil and light olive oil are blends of cheap ';Refined'; oil with virgin oil. The ratio is typically 95% refined oil or pomace with just 5% virign oil. They are cheap to produce but you may not find those saving at the grocery store. For what's in them, they are not a bargin. You might as well call them ';impure';.
The bottom line is you want to buy ';extra virgin'; olive oil for the biggest bang for your buck. It is an all natural product with distinctive flavors based on where it comes from and should taste clean and not overpowering.
:) Good question.
See the PBS program America's Test Kitchen. They answer all sorts of questions like this in the show, in their cookbooks, and DVD's and online.
I think the difference is in the manner of extraction, heat and filteration in the preparation of the oil, and in use it is about quality flavor and the uses that each is best suited for.

In my opinion, this person has given the best explanation that I have ever seen, and I hope you think so too.
I wish you well..

Which oil is better for dogs? Cod liver oil or extra virgin olive oil?
I have a 1 year old rottie with dry skin %26amp; a dull coat. I have already taken him to the vet %26amp; started giving him e.virgin olive oil but haven't really noticed a difference. I know that oils should be a part of his diet so I would like to know which is the better oil to include in his meals.Which oil is better for dogs? Cod liver oil or extra virgin olive oil?
Salmon oil is the best - the omega 3 fatty acids will help really fast. All my dogs get 1 capsule daily.Which oil is better for dogs? Cod liver oil or extra virgin olive oil?
What are you feeding the dog? if it is a properly balanced food formula no supplements should be necessary.
Is the dog blowing it's coat? This is a normal function and you should relax and just put up with some flake skin for a few weeks. Trust me the condition will correct it's self once the dog rids it's self of the unneeded hair.
I have one that looks like hell right now, by next week she will look like she has been on a diet or something. Then after a trip to the groomer she will shine like a new coin.
fish oil- omega 3 (mercury free) Deep cold water fish w/ DHA (don't get it at the pet store, buy it for people, it's cheaper)
my rottie had the same problem even though she was getting a top rated food (Innova Large breed puppy $50/30lb. bag). the vet said it was just very dry skin. trust me it was BAD and any stress made it worse. when i took her to the vet she looked like she had been rolling around in a sand box it got so bad ! (apparently she wasn't thrilled w/ the vet or the ride @ 10 wks. old---she's 7 mo. now)
she gets 2- 2400 mg./day. after about 6-8 wks. her skin and coat looked amazing (i was about to give up-don't). her skin is great, no more flaking and her coat is sooooooo shiny!
hope this helps. good luck.
Fish oils, Cod liver or Salmon...however if you only have olive oil then thats OK

Can someone show me a picture of the exact olive oil for hair growth?
Please, im trying to buy it.
Or Castor Oil.Can someone show me a picture of the exact olive oil for hair growth?
I've heard that Castor Oil works better. You can find it with the laxatives and stuff at your local drugstore. Just to give you the heads up though, it's really sticky. I also know you can buy it at naturalpath stores, it's organic there, and might even work better. But if you really want to make your hair grow, make sure to trim it on a regular basis. I wanted to grow my hair, and I wasn't trimming it because I didn't want it shorter and it wasn't growing. Then I started to trim it and it grew a lot faster. Also, I heard that if you do a hand or head stand for like 5 minutes everyday it grows faster. It sounds stupid, but apparently it works.Can someone show me a picture of the exact olive oil for hair growth?
castor oil? really? To ingest or to put in your hair? cuz if it's to ingest....omg that's so NOT worth it!

Will drinking olive oil start labor and/or contractions?
No it will give you a very upset stomach though.Will drinking olive oil start labor and/or contractions?
No, the age-old way to start labor is by drinking castor oil. Generally, you would want to drink it with orange juice or coke -- something sugary to help it go down. It is awful tasting. This should not be done unless you are at the end of your term and it should be done under the care of a health care professional, doula, midwife, ob doc, etc. The castor oil makes you have violent diarrhea and definitely cleans out your system, so be prepared. In theory, the contracting of your lower GI due to the diarrhea will help commence labor contractions.
If you decide to go this route, good luck and be careful!Will drinking olive oil start labor and/or contractions?
no but it will probably make you sick and make you poop everywhere when you do give birth
I think you'd get a wicked case of diarrhea.
Please don't do that...........

What makes olive oil extra virgin? Why is it called that? Also...what about the other varieties?
I do a lot of cooking with olive oil and just got to thinking...why on earth is it 'virgin'? lol. everything calls for extra virgin olive oil...and when I was at the store I saw 'light' and 'extra light' aswell. Why are they categorized as they are???What makes olive oil extra virgin? Why is it called that? Also...what about the other varieties?
';Val'; is right, the frist pressing is the finest quality, then the next 2-4 pressings have either to be heated to extract all the old up to a point were the olive mash is mixed with a neutral oil and when it settles it is strained off and that is were the Pomice/Pumice oil comes from, it is just olive flavoured veg oil but nice for cooking or bulk salad dressings.
The Light and Extra light are just diluted with a soya or veg oil to lighten there taste and calorie content, not really what I would have used when a chef, for salads and appetizers the best available, I actually prefer Greek or Sicilain over the expensive Italian ones, there are lots out ther from Spain, Portugal, Lebanon, Syria and France all like wine have different complexitys, I always used Spanish Gallo for cooking and Krinos Greek for other things, I just like the taste.What makes olive oil extra virgin? Why is it called that? Also...what about the other varieties?
Extra virgin olive oil means its from the first press of the olive. meaning its the purest. as far as the light and extra light im not sure. rachel ray didnt go that in depth when she explained em lol
It is purified more and has a nuttier taste.
