Honey Hair Conditioner Formula

Honey Hair Conditioner Formula

Honey is made by bees from the nectar of flowering plants and trees. It is high in vitamins and minerals, and has wonderful benefits for the skin and hair. Honey is a good humectant and emollient, serving as a good moisturizer and conditioner.

Take out some time to try this easy honey hair conditioner. The benefits will really show:

Directions for using honey in hair.

Add a teaspoon of honey to a teaspoon of shampoo, or use honey by itself as a wonderful hair pack and conditioner.

Work 1/2 cup through your hair (using more or less according to your hair length).

Put a plastic shower cap or bag over the hair for 20 to 30 minutes to let your body heat optimize the conditioning benefit of the honey, then shampoo and rinse thoroughly.

I've always used a mixture of honey and aspirin dissolved in a bit of water to wash my skin, with a little moisturizer with antioxidants and phytonutrients for my face. I always get compliments on my skin and never use makeup! I'll have to buy more next time I'm at the market to try on my hair, I can't wait!! Thank you for sharing this with me!! :)

Some people have an ethical aversion to using honey. People with pollen allergies or bee-sting sensitivity should avoid this.

this sounds great i have really damaged, fine hair so most shampoos and conditioners that are meant to help fix hair just weigh mine down and it ends up looking dirty all the time, this might be just the thing ;)
