Does olive oil or any type of oil help with overall hair growth?

Olive oil is a great ingredient for salad dressing but will do nothing for your hair.

There are no products of which I am aware, other than Minoxidil, which can benefit hair growth. Specifically, olive oil has many beneficial outcomes for healthy eating, but this does not include growth of hair or nails. Biotin has been touted, but hard to find any convincing data to support.
