Mix honey with conditioner!

Sort By

i had been seeing this tip all over longhaircommunity so decided to try it last month. After shampooing i just put on a tea-spoon of honey with a random conditioner (dove/pantene/l'oreal) and couldn't believe my own eyes! It had shines like never before. Even the richest of shine serum never gave me this much shine. My hair also felt very smooth and all the frizz are gone. like magic!!! Have been putting honey in my conditioner/deep conditioner/ treatment conditioner every kind of conditioners except for leave-ins since.
You can do a google search to read more about mixing honey with conditioners, reviews, results, pictures etc....
By the way, I have 2b wavy hair. Somewhat low porosity. (people with higher porosity sometimes do not get as much shine as lower ones) Also I air dry my hair...dont know how hair with traces of honey would react to heat...
Just wanted to share the tip :)

Does this require a certain kind of honey or will just any work?

I just tested this out with my cousin head who had dry frizzy hair and no joke her hair now feels amazing! And has lots of shine!

Linda P. glad you liked it :)
Madison D. Any kind of edible honey would do...try to get it organic :)
By the way shine and softness is not only in the outside, honey is a natural humectant so it will help to moisturize your hair ( the same a glycerin and oil can trap water on skin/hair, honey does that without the grease and buildup) so with time it will improve the condition of your hair and prevent damages. i've been using it for a month now and can totally see the difference.

I tot honey was a whitening agent... Must have been a tell tale that I completely believed. I am on my way to buy honey...

honey is not a whitening agent...it has some sort of bleaching affect yes but only 1 or 2 tea-spoon of honey (mixed with conditioner none the less) will not be enough to change the color of dark hair (black)..because of the added shine the lighter shades (blonde) will look brighter :)

I use not with my regular conditioner, but for my deep treatments. I add honey (1tsp), evoo (1tbsp), and small amount of shea (dime sized) melt and mix with my conditioner to do a deep treatment. Honey is amazing it's a humectant so really good for dry hair. I'm a 4a and it has help with oisturizing and has given me the shiniest, well defined curls for my wash and goes.

This is awesome! I can't wait to try it.

knew it was a tip worth sharing :)
Sadie S. when did you have your treatment? during the first few months of keratin treatment you're suppose to use specific keratin friendly shampoo/conditioners etc and i would not recommend modifying it in anyway..besides honey is slightly acidic and therefore will change the ph level of your hair which can be a problem for keratin treated hairs.
on the other hand, for those who have colors or highlights honey would bring the brightest shine ever!

What sort of honey? I tried this today but the honey wouldn't wash out and now my hair is all sticky :/

how much honey did you use??? i have tried this all the time so did people who commented here hair never becomes sticky...maybe you used too much honey and too little conditioner? :|
