Olive oil for dark skin?

[queenio]

I believe dark people have a problem with their scalp (cracking and soreness) and should massage olive oil in prior to washing. My friend has 2 small children and hair washing can be a problem. Has anybody else come across this? Many thanks.

Yes my godson who is now 8 has used olive oil since he was about 2 months old, its the only thing that stops his scalp flaking

I often use olive oil as a scalp massage. It is very good for easing flakiness and general mank. It doesn't half take a lot of washing out, but it's worth the bother now and agian. I am pink, with thin white hair.
I also use it as a skin lotion and especially on feet - rub in, put strong socks over, and your feet will smile happily. Metaphorically.
