Brief Answer:
Extravirgin Olive oil.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking Health care magic forum.

Extra virgin olive oil is better to use for hairs. It is most pure and natural with all benefits. It will be more expensive than other variants. But anti oxidant properties and vitamins like A and E are high in extra virgin olive oil. It moisturises hair and remove sebum that impede new hair follicles.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.

Thanks

Brief Answer:
Can use extravirgin oil for dandruff.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for your follow up query.

Extravirgin olive oil can be used for dandruff. You can mix equal amount of lemon juice, olive oil and water for dandruff. Massage this into scalp and leave it for 20 minutes to half an hour and rinse and shampoo. Other oil which you can use for dandruff is coconut oil.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
