Coconut oil is great too ...and Olive oil mixed with coconut oil.

You are correct that Olive Oil is will aid in your friend's hair condition, but she will also need other conditioners. Tell her to look for conditioners that DO NOT have pertoleum, mineral oil or paraffin in them.

I used Paul Mitchell - The Conditioner and the put a small amount of Olive Oil over it, to seal in the moisture.

The reality is that as an black person, she doesn't have to use products so completely different from the ones you do. She simply needs to concentrate on those that provide moisture and protein.

She might want to get on the internet and find some black hair care sites that can give her more great information. I know lots of women have found great information that way.
