10. Strengthen Your Nails

If you suffer from weak or brittle nails that split or break off easily, you can improve their health by using olive oil. Soak your nails once or twice a week in some warm olive oil for 5 or 10 minutes. Make sure that your nails are bare before you soak them. That’s all it takes to have truly strong, naturally beautiful nails!

11. Long Beautiful Hair

Ditch all those serums and expensive, intensive hair masks! We have one that is inexpensive and you probably have everything you need right in your kitchen. Mix one egg yolk with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and 2 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Before shampooing, simply rub this mixture on your hair, put on a shower cap and wait for 15 to 20 minutes. Now shower and use your regular shampoo and conditioner. You will instantly have softer, shinier hair.

If you want a super intensive treatment, warm two or three tablespoon of olive oil (don’t let it get too hot!) and apply it to your dry hair. Massage it into your scalp as well to encourage your hair to grow faster. Put on a shower cap and allow the oil to sit for a minimum of one hour. You can leave it on all afternoon, overnight, as long as you like. You can shampoo as you normally would. If you have left the oil on for a long time you might have to shampoo twice. Do this treatment twice a month for truly longer, more beautiful locks.

12. Shaving Cream Replacement

If you are tired of paying for those expensive shaving creams, we have good news for you; just forget about them! Olive oil will do the same thing for pennies. Slather olive oil on your legs and underarms before you shave and you will not only have super soft legs, but you will avoid razor burn and those annoying red bumps that occur with dry shaving.
