Olive Oil Shampoo

Choosing between olive oil and argan oil shampoo

All three shampoos in this collection come from Eyüp Sabri Tuncer, the Turkish brand best known for kolonya and olive oil soap. They are large, family-sized bottles meant for daily use in a busy household.

The range

• Natural Olive Oil Shampoo, 700 mL: the largest bottle, good value for a family shower.
• Natural Olive Oil Shampoo, 600 ml: the same idea in a slightly smaller bottle.
• Natural Argan Oil Shampoo, 600 ml: an alternative for people who already like argan oil hair products.

Which one should I pick?

If you are buying for the whole household or want the shampoo many Turkish families keep in the shower, start with olive oil. If someone in your home prefers argan oil products, the argan shampoo is the one to try. Formulas differ, so check each product page for the full ingredient list and any notes on hair type before you buy, especially for sensitive scalps or colour-treated hair.

How to use

• Wet hair thoroughly, then massage a small amount into the scalp.
• Rinse well; repeat if your hair is very oily or has a lot of product in it.
• Follow with conditioner if you usually use one.
• Close the cap between uses and keep the bottle out of direct sunlight.

Olive oil in Turkish bathing

Olive oil has long been part of the Turkish hamam and home bath, used in soaps and for hair and skin. A simple olive oil shampoo is an easy way to keep that tradition in your routine here in Canada.

Complete the routine

Add a 500 ml olive oil liquid soap from our soap collection, a soft robe from our bathrobes and towels, and a splash of lemon kolonya to finish. A shampoo and soap pairing also makes an easy, practical gift for someone who misses Turkish brands.
