[honeisos]

I bought some honey the other day , ran out of my reg clover honey . i got eucalyptus honey, i was curious to see if if would make my scalp tingle lol . then i started thinking if other kinds of honey could have special benefits for hair . im going to use the new honey later today and see what kind of effect it has on my hair , i would really love to get that breezy feeling lol anyway has there been a thread on all kinds honey and what they can do for hair ?

how do you use your honey

 

[C@ssandr@]

I'd like to know too. I figured different types do different things, but I didn't know any better and bought the conatainer that looks like a bear...

 

[SweetSpirit86]

I'm curious as well. I tried the honey d/c someone mentioned a few weeks back, and my hair loved it. If there are ways to use other types of honey for different/stronger effects, I may have to take a trip to the health food store, lol.

I actually went to sleep with honey in my hair last night, so I will update as soon as I rinse it out. I've only used honey mixed with other things like beer and oils. This time I'm just using it by itself.

Honey is a humectant. While it can be sticky I find it best to put a tablespoon or two in a conditioner. And it will smell soooo good too. You can use honey in your lacking dcs to enhance them as well. I've never heard of eucalyptus honey but if I had to guess it would be a great treat for your scalp because the anitbacterial properties would be stronger.

I either put honey in my condish or directly on my hair. It's not sticky if you put it on wet hair. Either way it'll work!!

I've been using RAW ORGANIC HONEY in my DC which is EVOO and Honey and conditioner added for more product...

honey makes my hair feel sooo soft...and it is a great facial mask too

 

[Sonye93]

I use it in my ORS Replenishing Pak DC. It wasn't lacking anything before the addition of honey, I just wanted to see what difference it'll make. My hair is shinier, silkier, and the moisture stays in there for like ever! It smells good too (I almost tasted it.....lol).

 

[Sharpened]

I have used both raw honey and regular store brand without any differences in my hair (my skin prefers the raw).

 

[LivinMyLifeLikeItsGolden]

I use honey in my DC, prepoo's and in my henna!!

 

[honeisos]

I use it in my condish ... as a add in ... I love it in my henna as well ... the smell of the honey and henna together smells so good to me . Well I did use it (eucalyptus honey).. no tingle lol but it was a hell of a lot more moisturising (sp?) ;p then the reg clover honey ...

this was me too ! lol


Here are a few diff types

Sage and avocado sound nice to me

ALFALFA
Alfalfa honey, produced extensively throughout Canada and the United States from the purple blossoms, is light in color with a pleasingly mild flavor and aroma.


AVOCADO
Avocado honey is gathered from California avocado blossoms. Avocado honey is dark in color, with a rich, buttery taste.


BLUEBERRY
Taken from the tiny white flowers of the blueberry bush, the nectar makes a honey which is typically light amber in color and with a full, well-rounded flavor. Blueberry honey is produced in New England and in Michigan.

BUCKWHEAT
Buckwheat honey is dark and full-bodied. It is produced in Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin as well as in eastern Canada. Buckwheat honey has been found to contain more antioxidant compounds than some lighter honeys.


CLOVER
Clover honey has a pleasing, mild taste. Clovers contribute more to honey production in the United States than any other group of plants. Red clover, Alsike clover and the white and yellow sweet clovers are most important for honey production. Depending on the location and type of source clover, clover honey varies in color from water white to light amber to amber.


EUCALYPTUS
Eucalyptus honey comes from one of the larger plant genera, containing over 500 distinct species and many hybrids. As may be expected with a diverse group of plants, eucalyptus honey varies greatly in color and flavor but tends to be a stronger flavored honey with a slight medicinal scent. It is produced in California.


FIREWEED
Fireweed honey is light in color and comes from a perennial herb that creates wonderful bee pasture in the Northern and Pacific states and Canada. Fireweed grows in the open woods, reaching a height of three to five feet and spikes attractive pinkish flowers.


MANUKA
Manuka honey, primarily produced in New Zealand, is used as a natural product both internally and topically on the skin. The bees gather nectar from the flowers of the Manuka bush, which is indigenous only to New Zealand. The honey making process is enriched by the pollution free environment of New Zealand.


ORANGE BLOSSOM
Orange blossom honey, often a combination of citrus sources, is usually light in color and mild in flavor with a fresh scent and light citrus taste. Orange blossom honey is produced in Florida, Southern California and parts of Texas.


SAGE
Sage honey, primarily produced in California, is light in color, heavy bodied and has a mild but delightful flavor. It is extremely slow to granulate, making it a favorite among honey packers for blending with other honeys to slow down granulation.


TUPELO
Tupelo honey is a premium honey produced in northwest Florida. It is heavy bodied and is usually light golden amber with a greenish cast and has a mild, distinctive taste. Because of the high fructose content in Tupelo honey, it granulates very slowly.


WILDFLOWER
Wildflower honey is often used to describe honey from miscellaneous and undefined flower sources.


HONEY BLENDS
While different types of honey are available, most honey, especially honey supplied in bulk, is blended to create a unique and consistent taste and color.
