Hey, TigerLily 

While I totally don't have Asian hair (unfortunately), I can tell you that olive oil (especially the extra virgin type) is one of the heavier oils out there. I have found it to be much too heavy for my fine hair, even when heavily diluted with water. Not to mention the smell of it reminds me of many oil-based paints that I have used. 

The type and quantity of oil used depends on the thickness and porousness of your hair. Everybody's different, so oiling is one of those things best tested by trial and error.

From what I have read, most people here use just 1 or 2 drops of oil in the palm of the hand, rub both palms together, then smooth over the length of the hair.

However, I personally lightly spray the very tips of my hair with a mixture of baby oil and water...and that seems to work well.

So, like I said, trial and error. You may try diluting your oil solution, using less of it or just using something else altogether. Sorry if I'm no help whatsoever...it's kind of a personal quest. 

Yep, as the others said - olive oil is a heavier oil than many of us find to be too heavy for our fine hair.

Depending on just how much you used, you might try it again, with just a drop of oil rubbed between you hands, then apply to the ends. 

I use jojoba oil - 2 drops is plenty for my classic length hair.

I don't recommend baby oil, it's mineral oil which is from petroleum.  The other oils are derived from plants -- different chemistry -- and are better suited to moisturize hair.
