Using extra virgin olive oil in your hair for a treatment? what is the best method?

I heard extra virgin olive oil can be used as a really good hot oil treatment to deep condition hair and help repair damage but there are so many methods out there, I don't know which one is best to use!

My hair has been a bit abused this past month or so since I started to blow dry it again (I stopped using any heat on it for a long time to try to keep it healthy) and I used curlers etc on it last week and hair spray a couple of times and I think all this has dried my hair out and damaged it.

I am letting it dry naturally again and have stopped using any heat on it and have started taking vitamins etc for my hair again. But I really want to do a hot oil treatment on my hair tonight to deep condition it.

So I really need a hot oil treatment method with olive oil that is easy and I can do at home, please?

Also has anyone used l'oreal elvive damage repair hair mask? Cause it was on offer in a shop today so I bought some and I plan to start using it once or twice a week.

Do hair masks also help repair damage and soften hair?

Sorry I know this question is a bit long, it wasn't meant to be.

Thanks in advance!
