Palmer’s Olive Oil Formula Conditioning Spray Oil - Review


Hola ladies! I have thin somewhat frizzy hair which become difficult to handle at times and are prone to breakage when tangled. Did this product work for my hair?

Product Claims

Natural extra virgin olive oil is loaded with Vitamins A, B and E and anti-oxidants to surround each hair strand with protection from damaging free radicals. Instantly restores moisture to dry hair. Excellent for braids to keep them soft and shiny.



How To Use

Use on clean dry hair. Pump a drop or two into palm. Apply lightly to scalp and hair as needed.



What Do We Think?

Fizzah: The product comes in a clear plastic bottle with a pump dispenser which protects the product from running into the cap and out even if it’s placed horizontally for hours. Press the pump once and that’s all what you need to cover your whole hair in a single use unless you have very long and thick hair. Most of us would remember Livon hair oil from our teenage; unlike that product, this oil is thinner in consistency only slightly thicker than water and indistinctly yellow/green in colour with a pleasant faint odour. Running your hands and fingers through the hair with the product until it’s all gone from your palms spreads it evenly without wanting more and weighing the locks down, applying more causes hair to become oily and weighs them down from scalp. My thin hair are prone to damage and breakage if tangled when I comb/brush through them. I use the oil when my hair are completely dry and most of the tangles are gone while applying it hence less breakage during combing/brushing. My tresses are naturally soft but the oil makes them super soft and shiny, and since I rarely use heat styling wands I have not tested the product in that case but I am quite sure it’ll help protect the hair against heat too. I have been using this oil for over a year now and have only used approximately 20mL of the 150mL bottle.

Sadaf: I apply it on wet hair, comb them with great ease and blow dry it. My hair does not feel damaged from the heat and it feels very soft, frizz free and easy to style. 

Do not apply it to your scalp or roots because they will instantly look oily and may cause dandruff in the run long.

What we like most about Palmer’s products is that they are all Parabens and Sulfates free.

    1. Actually no. A very tiny amount is required for the whole hair.. The quantity shown in my palm comes out when the pump is pressed once. That's all I apply to my hair. If you use too much it'll weigh them down eventually but using the right amount actually gives them body, bounce, shine and softness

    1. Wow really? All their products have worked better than any brand I tried personally. I have tried all their shampoos, coconut conditioner, two body lotions, lip balms and this spray oil.
