Relaxed Heads - Do You Use Honey For Hair Health?

[MzSwift]

I don't know if I reported in here but I bought this DC before I locced a few years ago. I threw it away without using it and just repurchased it. I plan to try it out this weekend. I'm working on getting back into the habit of DCing weekly.



If I like this honey+egg combo, I'm gonna start making my own. I have honey powder and egg powder in my emergency food stash. I will mix them and use Queen Helene cholesterol as my base.

@MzSwift no you didn't say Queen Helene cholesterol! I'm glad they still make that stuff! I used it as a kid. My hair loved it.

Yes ma'am, that is my staple. Hasn't left my regi since 2010 - LOVE IT!

Switched from EVOO to Castor Oil for this week's honey dc. I posted in this thread about how easy Castor Oil blends with the honey and I love it!

 

[sunnieb]

Like I posted before, the honey/Castor Oil mix gives my hair extra softness. It's amazing!

I'm not giving up on EVOO, but I think I'll stick to Castor Oil for a while. Maybe splash a little EVOO in there for kicks.

Been a year, so thought I'd check in this thread. I've been doing the honey/Castor oil dc weekly. Doing it right now as a matter of fact!

Honey is so wonderful for my hair! Here's a pic I took today before applying the honey mix:



This is dry, non-moisturized hair. I didn't put anything on it this morning at all. The honey brings out a slight shine from within each strand. Also, doing this weekly gives my crown some attention that I don't give it throughout the week.

I still add EVOO to my weekly dc when I use conditioner.

I have Sweet Honey Enriching Hair Nourisher by HennaSooq in my hair today.

It's a goopey, Honey consistency like Bekura's YAM

I have my Hair wrapped up now in Saran Wrap now and will wash it out with HennaSooq's Cleansing Clay.

I took this pic a few weeks ago and meant to post it here. It shows how the honey is selectively highlighting random strands of my hair. I wish I knew the science behind this. Why are some of my strands so brown, but others remain dark?

I'm inspired to keep up with my messy weekly honey dc's. I like this unique coloring and can't wait to see how it looks as my hair gets longer.

I wonder if those strands would otherwise be gray due to having less melanin, so they're absorbing the honey tones. It's so pretty!

Thank you!

It has to be something along these lines.
But why is my head also full of grays???

I've just come to accept this mix of color and let it do what it do.

I feel you! I use HennaSooq's rajasthani henna and it makes my grays full-on burgundy. So far, I have a small streak in the front and I can always tell when it's time lol

I'm not relaxed, but the sound of an oil and honey blend had me

Ever since you posted I've wanted to try this. I've got some in my hair right now!

Do you eyeball the measurements, or did you measure it?

I used to measure years ago, but now I eyeball it. Always more honey.

This combo was really good! Definitely a keeper! Thank you for sharing!

After all these years, I tried a new honey mask tonight - avacado/honey/EVOO. Well, it was just a splash of EVOO, but it's in there.

I do a quick clean and dump of my fridge every Sunday. Somehow a couple of avacados got hidden and forgotten. Found them today and they are a little too ripe for me to eat, but perfect for a hair recipe!

I have the mask on now and I'll see how my hair likes it. I loved not having the messy drippy honey/Castor oil mask. Next time, I'll make sure to really mash the avacado before adding the honey. I had quite a few chunks in there this time. Live and learn!

Used:
HennaSooq's Sweet Honey Hair Nourisher as an Overnight Pre-Poo

Used up my last avacado to make another honey mask tonight.

Had too many big chunks last week, so I squished the avacado on my cutting board and smoothed it out:



Mixed with honey and a little EVOO and watched the little chunks surface!



It was cool though. Still easy less drippy than my normal honey/Castor oil mix. I don't have a mixer and probably wouldn't get it out to really de-chunk the avacado anyway.

This mix works well for my hair. I can tell it had softness and is moisturized. I leave it on for an hour then follow up with a cowash using Garnier Triple Moisture (has avacado oil in it).



Just a nice Sunday evening moisture boosting hair mask to start the week.

Garnier Triple Moisture used to be my boo!! Then the stores I went to stopped selling it and I turned to Tressemme. Now, I want to go back to the store to see if it's back there! Thank you!
