It’s quite normal for people to shed between 50 and 100 hair strands each day.<\/p>\n

However, those losing more than that might have an underlying health condition or hair loss problem.<\/p>\n

One natural ingredient that could help with hair loss is olive oil. The kitchen essential, that’s usually imported from the Mediterranean, could stimulate hair growth, according to researchers.<\/p>\n

In a 2015 study on mice, experts found that olive-tree-derived ingredients helped to stimulate hair growth.<\/p>\n

The common cooking ingredient contains oleic acid which has antioxidant qualities which could “slow the effects of hair loss”, according to Healthline.<\/p>\n

The oleic acid inhibits 5-alpha reductase, an enzyme that converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone – a hormone that weakens hair follicles.<\/p>\n

Olive oil could also potentially have antibacterial properties and reduce and prevent split ends.<\/p>\n

Board-certified dermatologist Dr Saya Obayan told Cosmopolitan that olive oil can also calm scalp inflammation.<\/p>\n

Dr. Obayan explained: “We know that olive oil does have a good anti-inflammatory property to it, which can help calm down some of the inflammation on your scalp.”<\/p>\n

The kitchen staple can also make hair appear “softer” and more “shiny”, according to dermatologist Dr Audrey Kunin.<\/p>\n

She told Women’s Health: \u201cOlive oil is rich in fatty acids and antioxidants, so it can be nourishing to the scalp.<\/p>\n
