For those of u not familiar with Olive Oil products...this is what I think Prince was mentioning when he was talking about putting Olive Oil in his hair. There is a product line by Organic Root Stimulator that is made with Olive Oil.

Ahh, I've seen ads for those on the buses and subways. I wonder what it does for your hair?

Supposedly it helps your hair grow thicker and prevent thinning hair. It must be working for him, because his hair appeared to be thinning a few years ago, but it is much thicker now.

They have a website that explains how their products work.

Then that's smart. I should use it just to make sure that my hair doesn't start thinning.

Regular Olive Oil is also used for hair care.

Well I was gonna say "good thing I didn't use the stuff in my kitchen" but I guess that would have been ok

I use that exact product haha, makes the hair just much nicer, shinier gives it a little more thickness, and adds all the extra minerals and co that your hair is missing. Can recommend to anyone at all

Shawnt26 said:

Thank you! I was just about to say that before folks ran to the beauty supply store trying to buy them out of that product because they think that's what Prince uses.

Shawnt26 said:

Yes, I know. I know people that use regular olive oil on their hair, but it tends to weigh the hair down when you use is straight on the scalp.

HatrinaHaterwitz said:

Yeah, I'm sure Target and Walmart will be sold out of the product also.

"She's always in my hair..."

Can I ask a question without being offensive? I do not intend any racism in this question... but.... is this product good for anyone/everyone? Or just....

Jakeasaurus said:

I'm pretty sure it's mostly designed for ethnic hair. They do make other products like shampoo and conditioner that other types of hair could probably use, but if your hair is naturally kinky (that is the proper term and is not meant to be racist), then you could probably use the whole line.

Here is the company's description on their site of what they do/offer:
Organic Root Stimulator™ products were conceived, developed and marketed by Namasté Laboratories, LLC. Namasté is a Hindi term which means "to bow to the divinity within." At Namasté Labs we interpret that to mean "to serve the beauty within," which is accomplished through a new and exciting hair care system -- Organic Root Stimulator™ -- that gets to the root of healthy hair.

Namasté Labs was founded in 1996 to address the needs of the health-conscious, multi-cultural consumer market. Namasté is dedicated to identifying holistic, innovative remedies for the healing and renewal of hair, skin and body. This philosophy has made us a leader in natural, therapeutic health and beauty aids.

Organic Root Stimulator Product LineThe Organic Root Stimulator™ difference -- strengthening from the inside out

Utilizing a ground-breaking approach that successfully integrates scientific research and herbal remedies from nature's garden, Namasté has developed a unique product line that responds to consumer demand for natural products that really work. Unlike most products that are cosmetic in nature, Organic Root Stimulator™ actually delivers on its promise of natural healing hair care. It is a superior quality therapeutic hair care system that gets below the surface and naturally restores hair and scalp damaged by medication, hereditary conditions and health problems, as well as damage caused by perms, blow drying and braids. Hair and scalp are revitalized to a healthy, wholesome condition.

Cute!


I think everyone can use it, I'll give it a try for the first time later on and then I'll tell you what the exact outcome is on "our" hair!

[b]Typing from PDA, so pardon me a moment or two...
Olive oil is from Kush to Egypt to Is real (israel)...it was and is the staple for hair, body and what was used with granite, nile river mud and papyrus to paint the walls, statues and temples...even mary used olive oil and spykenaard to wash the feet of Jesus and Mary's cousin, Elizabeth used the same for John the Baptist. Aaron used olive oil to polish his breastplate of 12 tribes of divine union. Olive oil is the branch of God and the blood of eternity through Jesus the christ.

Take carel...

i thought the same thing when i heard that lyric

I've used their products in the past, but I've found that Dr. Miracle works best for me.

Next time you go to Target they will have a big display of olive oil right next to the LotusFlow3r cds??

daPrettyman said:

Really? I seen the products and my lil brother had some grow stuff but it smelled sooo strong...I must try some... Right now, I'm in to Chi I love the way it smells and Bio silk it works nice

purplecam said:

I've been using it 4 years. Before Prince mentioned it. I was shocked when Prince mentioned it in his song. I guess that is another thing we have in common...lol

Angelic1302 said:

The smell is pretty strong on Dr. Miracle, but his products really work and have the "feel it formula". My hair is so thick now. I don't do perms, but I do the "Hot Gro", dandruff shampoo/conditioner and the leave in conditioner. I can really tell the difference in my hair.

KCOOLMUZIQ said:

There is also a hairspray that my barber use to spray on my hair by the same brand. That is how i found out about it.i keep myself well taken care of and well groomed like my mentor Prince...

squirrelgrease said:

LOL!!

Prince is old school, men were putting olive oil in thery're hair back before that stuff was developed.

Jakeasaurus said:

Usually men of color use olive oil but It's been used by people (women and children too) of all races and colors.

hey me too it's a really good product they have shampoo conditioner and the hair lotion it gives my hair volume and bounce and shine without waying it down it's very light i don't even have to use gel

I need to start using this again. I have damaged my hair in the WORSE WAY with the flat iron.....Im Lucky to have hair at this point.

Remember:

Bleach and Flat irons are TOXIC for your hair.....

Dayclear said:

I highly doubt that. Prince perms his hair and uses these types of products. His hair looks too good to be using "old school" products.
