Don't use EVOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Baggettcindy]

This is what my coworker said yesterday....that Dr OZ said the use regular Virgin olive oil. What say you all?

 

[classychic1908]

For hair and skin use, I honestly don't think it matters. I think EVOO has a lighter more refined flavor when used in food preparation.

 

[LaFemmeNaturelle]

I doubt he said that because I've seen an episode where he said that we should eat evoo because it has healthy fats. Maybe he said not to HEAT evoo and if you are going to cook with it, to use regular.

Did your friend say he made reference to skin and hair?

I've used heated EVOO (mixed w/honey) for the past year and a half - my hair is fine.

I've cooked with heated EVOO for 15 years - my family and I are still alive and healthy.

 

[Baggettcindy]

Oh....it was in reference to hair.

I dunno but this comment made me laugh.

What Dr. Oz know about our hair? lol plenty of us have been using it for years. I know it has only helped my hair. Maybe its bad for theirs.

 

[Theresamonet]

Op, What exactly did he say? Why not use it?

OT:SpeechieGirl- How is that conditioner in your siggy, the one in the green jar?

 

[Qtee]

did she tell u why u shouldnt use it...I hope she didnt just give u half information without telling u why or what it does to ur hair..

 

[Chaosbutterfly]

I say your co-worker and Dr. Oz need to take a seat.
What they know about hair?

 

[shunemite]

She can't just make a blanket statement like that. She needs to explain why and what it does. I do remember him doing a show on hair color and relaxers and he explained why in detail.

 

[NYDiva]

hair is superficial, i doubt if dr. Oz would have said not to use a particular oil on your hair. he advocates 2 tsp of olive oil per day for health benefits, and says that heating the oil repeatedly deminishes the health benefits.

 

[Baggettcindy]

She didn't say what he said....she did mention he said it was for cooking, but i thought to myself...so is regular o. oil

 

[brownbean96]

She didn't say what he said? No disrespect OP but you may have wanted to wait until you got he whole story to post such a thread. I came in here thinking (especially with all the exclamation points) that there was a sure explanation and reason why we shouldn't use EVOO. I like Dr. Oz but I'm not going to stop doing something just cuz he said so - using a product that works - especially without detail/facts and even more especially not based in hearsay.

What your friend stated is not true.

I watched that episode. Dr. Oz sat his Assistant of the Day down, poured olive oil in his hand, and put it in her hair. I laughed so hard because now this poor unsuspecting woman had a head full of olive oil that she must deal with after the show. He then put a plastic cap on her head. He made no distinction between grades of olive oil.

Here is the link to Dr. Oz's website where he praises olive oil. Tell your friend to pipe down and watch the clip.

I have used EVOO since I started with LHCF 2 years ago. My hair LOVES it, my skin LOVES it. Its mandatory for my DCs.

 

[che1219]

He actually said the best place to use olive oil is on your hair.

 

[Urban]

Lol, why would you even pay such a statement any mind without any explanation???

 

[1QTPie]

I use both types and my hair thrives. I'm glad someone chimed in, she obviously misheard.

 

[Guitarhero]

EVOO is not the lighter, refined....it's extra virgin...meaning first cold-press. You get all the proteins and whatever else in the oil.

Pure olive oil is the last press and is the lightest in flavor and topical application.

 

[VidaStarr]

He did not say that lol. She aint even hear him right.

 

[Stella B.]

...so glad we cleared that up!..thanks for the clip, LaidBak! I luv olive oil! I even use it before tweezing my brows!

 

[blackmaven]

I like me some Dr.Oz but I am glad some of yawl watch the show. Olive oil is a great prepoo on hair.

 

[Beverly Ann Properties]

I have a lot of respect fro Dr. Oz and the ladies on this forum for getting to the bottom of the story. Thanks for the clip LaidBak, olive oil is a staple for me.
