"O ---live, my hair"

I finally found the right shampoo for my hair, including it's matching conditioner and hair mask. It makes my hair grow, even in a part of the scalp that I thought was permanently damaged due to regular application of hair spray in the eighties and nineties. Actually I've given up on the semi-bald patch, and to remedy it, I changed the side where my hair parts in front. 

Earlier on, I've kept changing my shampoo every time I go to the supermarket for my bimonthly purchases; I just can't get the right shampoo after I stopped using the imported ones.  One day, I needed something from Watson's, and as I browsed through their hair care section,  looking for avocado, for I've tried it earlier; not for my hair though but for my face, and I thought avocado treatment would do great things for my hair as well.  But then, this olive shampoo caught my eye and I thought it maybe good because it's "oil" and I recall when I was a little girl, I saw a lot of people putting coconut oil on their hair and they had thick and shiny hair. It may just work as well. 

So I bought a bottle and I noticed that it is big compared to the popular advertised ones and it will even turn out cheaper. I tried it without a thought following experts' advise that it is good to rotate shampoos regularly. 

After three weeks, I noticed that I had baby hair in places I can see from the mirror. Still later when I was due for a trim, I asked my hairdresser: "why did you put bangs when I specified that bangs bothers me, the hair gets into my face and blur my vision?".  She also knew I abhor bangs. She assured me: "I never put bangs, you see...", while inspecting my hair, "you have baby hair all over". 

"Use this shampoo",  I told my husband after I came back from the saloon,  "and let's see if it will work for you as well", and true to my experience, he had baby hair in three weeks!  His hairdresser said: 

"While people your age already have falling hair, or some maybe bald already, here you are with growing hair." 

After that I went back to purchase the matching conditioner and hair mask. I thought that while we still have the chance to keep our hair longer and enjoy it, then I guess we have to take advantage and keep using olive. But I was still  very curious, I couldn't help but google the benefits of olive when used for the hair and I found this link I want to share with you.

Now you will ask me,  "why still buy the commercial shampoo when you already have the treatment in your kitchen?"

"You see, if I use plain olive oil, I still need to shampoo to remove the characteristic smell, so it is inconvenient, still, after reading the link again, I maybe able to save on the conditioner."

Why don't you try it?  Let me know.
