Hi Merin,

What?? I must be missing some posts because I have not seen anything on this

particular subject. To my knowledge, olive oil doesn't strip color from hair.

How is this supposed to happen?

So...if I'm understanding these comments correctly, olive oil will strip

hair of even permanent color? I have some old color on my hair that I'm

growing out but it takes forever...so if I were to condition with straight

olive oil or a conditioner primarily made with olive oil, would it help the

color fade? Thanks...

Okay...my mistake...the discussion wasn't on this list. I have no idea how

it's supposed to happen, but this makes the third or fourth time I've seen

it mentioned that olive oil is not good for color treated hair because it

strips the color. Hope someone knows a little more about this...

Hi Merin, Olive Oil will strip some of the Hennas, but not the chemicals we

use today for colouring the hair. Olive Oil has been used for centuries for

moisturizing the skin and hair.

Well, I've not seen your hair (LOL) but I would like to hear the

answer and reasoning when you get it. Thank you,

Actually, in this case it was my fault...the posts I'd seen weren't on this

list.

Olive oil... I'm not sure it strips henna. But then perhaps... I use

a mix of henna, olive oil and lemon juice as a " fake tan " on my skin.

Olive oil is the primary ingredient, around 80%. It serves the

purpose of not me becoming " painted " instead of tan. I have to apply

the mix for at least 8 days before the " tan " actually shows.

When making henna tatoo, you have to take care removing any oil on

the skin you want to decorate. Skin oil, lotion, cream or residue

from superfatted CP soap will prevent henna to color the skin. But

that's because henna will not be really in contact with skin. Oil

will act as a shield.

Speaking of henna, EOs high in terpene added at a rate of 2.5% of the

henna paste will make the darkest tatoo (I don't speak of that horror

named black henna and which is actually dangerous, I speak about the

real henna which colors the skin orange to rusty red). The color of

the tatoo first will appear very lightly but it darkens tremendously

after 24 hours. This is really an aromatic delight to apply such a

paste!

But I digress...

Hello, I am new to the list and mostly have just been reading til

now. I was very surprised to see the post about the olive oil

stripping color and henna.... I have been a hairdresser for 25 years

and I wish this were true. I cant help but think it acts more as a

shield like you stated than to strip the color. It may have a way of

causing the color to lift slightly, or prevent the color from

penetrating the hair shaft but not strip the color. I cant understand

how it could do that for usually its peroxide, bleach or ammonia that

is mainly used in those products. If it were, it would be a

hairdressers wonder products... to strip hair and leave it well

conditioned.... lol

Hi ,

What you are saying makes perfect sense, there is no way olive oil can strip

permanent hair color.
