The ingredients you listed sound like more than enough moisture. There wouldn't be any need to DC afterwards.
I love using honey for my hair & skin. I add it to most of my moisturizing conditioners, or I seek out products where it's high on the ingredients list.
Word of advice: invest in quality honey. The stuff in the little bear bottle is pasteurized to hell. Look for raw organic honey.

Make sure you get the raw honey as regular honey most times doesn't even contain the pollen needed to be considered honey and is just flavored HFCS. Careful though as repeated usage of honey can lighten hair on some people so molasses is a good alternative if you're worried about that. But yes honey is a wonderful moisturizing treatment so you won't really need to follow it up with a DC unless you don't care for the smell or you're worried you didn't get it all out of your hair.
I like Manuka Honey from Australia/NZ.
Coconut Oil, Egg, and Honey Hair Treatment-Did this last weekend. Very soft hair afterwards. You can refrigerate any leftovers.

Cosign on this. I use manuka honey on my face.
Manuka is my favorite as well. I just started using it on my face. I mixed it with baking soda to exfoliate one night before bed. The next morning, my SO couldn't stop talking about how clear & pretty my skin was. And that was just the first time I did it!
As for hair, I haven't noticed the lightening effects, but I'm not really looking for it, nor do I care about it. But it really does give your DC an extra boost.

I did the treatment over night and washed with a moisturizing shampoo shea moisture and I don't feel no difference in softness, doing a deep conditioning while im in the shower and will do a acv rinse, im really starting to hate wash days, with the detangling and all smh

Lilmama1011 are you using heat when you DC? Every time I use a honey DC, I use heat (I use heat with every DC)
Do you have a hooded dryer or heating cap? You can even take a hot hand towel, wrap it around your hair, & cover it with a plastic cap. It really makes a difference.

I had put it in the microwave for twenty seconds so it was warm while applying it and I put a plastic cap on and a bonnet and laid down, yes I have a hooded dryer but I thought since I put it on the hair warm and left it for ours it would penetrate effectively, I was thinking to get under the dryer for at least fifteen minutes before I washed it out today but I said to myself it stayed long enough, next time I putting it with conditioner because I don't like how runny it is while putting just coconut oil and honey in my hair, it is messy. So next time a conditioner lots of honey and coconut oil and I will do the deep conditioner for ten to fifteen minutes under a dryer and then rinse out, the over the night I guess was a waste of time and I will be combing hair in the shower and see *** that goes because when I put the conditioner in after I shampooed my hair I combed it through and lost some hair and it felt still tangled and I combed it out in the shower and some hair came out and detangling was a breeze after I wrapped hair in a towel and apply moisturizer and oil so I'm think next time I will lose less hair just in the shower, I will just apply the conditioner without combing and I did a acv@Lilmama1011 are you using heat when you DC?

I've been using honey and coconut oil in my DT since I'm like 10 years old, it's the bomb!!! I just mix them with any treatment/conditioner, heat it up in the microwave and slap it on my hair, put on a shower cap and leave it for as long as I can stand it, most of the time 4-8 hours.

Hmmm.......never thought about adding coconut oil. Think I'll try it with my next dc.
