My hair had darkened up since I've been inconsistent, but the shine left behind by the honey is remarkable! This is a pic of my dry hair right now:

Fought off being hair lazy and doing a honey treatment now.

I've got to do this once a week if I want to break the BSL cycle and hit WL in 2015!

Finally seeing hints of the honey brown coming back! Here's my hair right now:

Been neglecting my hair a bit lately, so I'm going to do a nourishing honey treatment tonight to make up for it.

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

I'm using some raw honey and some random stuff for a deep condition under my table top.

 

[sunnieb]

I did a honey treatment last night, airdried and put in 2 bantu knots. Didn't really pay attention to my hair until tonight when I was about to dc.

The wave pattern and soft bounce was amazing! I know it was the honey effect. I'll remember this when I want a big bouncy hairdo.

About to dc my hair and snapped a pic to see if the honey treatments are lightening my hair. Here's my hair right now. It looks black IRL, but I can see some brown highlights in the pic.

ETA: have no idea why my hair pics post sideways!

Meant to post in this thread!

Thinking of doing a honey treatment tonight......

I can't remember if I replied this thread or not... too lazy to look lol... I've used honey before and it was ok but I liked agave nectar better.

CodeRed,

Not for me. I used it during different seasons too (different times of direct sunlight) and it didn't do anything to lighten my hair... thank goodness. I didn't think about that beforehand.

 

[CluelessJL]

This thread inspired me to use honey when I first started lurking in the forum! I use it every time I DC now.

I also want to say thank you to sunnieb for this thread. I woke up, read this thread, shampooed my hair then put honey in my ORS Hair Mayo and DC'd. Hair came out so soft and had so much slip. I can't wait to do this at many weeks post.

 

[KERC1974]

I do... I use it in everything but my shampoos...

Bumping.....I still use honey!

Been using it ever since you hipped me to it. Thankyou! The old formula of Nexxus Humectress used to have Honey in it. Now I have to add it myself. I am pregnant so I haven't relaxed in a while and won't be until after I give birth so keeping this new growth together is essential.

 

[sunnieb]

@kikisf congrats on your pregnancy!

 

[Ang!]

I've been using raw unprocessed honey in my conditioners for a month. The shine and softness it give my hair is helping me stretch my relaxers. Excited an
Bout going three months with it!

 

[sunnieb]

Researching.......going to add honey treatments to my hair routine again!

 

[sunnieb]

Doing a straight honey (no added conditioner) treatment right now.

After seeing breakage last week, I'm re-committing to my hair routine. This week, I've already cowashed and clarified/shampoo/dc'd, so now I'm treating my hair to a soothing moisturizing honey condition.

I don't know why I stopped. My hair loves honey and I can't wait for the bounce and shine tomorrow.

 

[sunnieb]

Honey shine from last night's honey dc:

I put ORS Carrot Oil on the ends, but the shine is the honey effect!

Doing a honey dc right now.

 

[sunnieb]

Doing a honey treatment right now before I get too lazy!

 

[sunnieb]

Sitting here with honey running down my neck and re-reading this thread to remind me of all the benefits of doing this!

Ahh, the stuff we do for healthy hair!

Hey Sunnieb, how do you do the honey DC for your roots...? I'm shooting for 12-15 weeks and would like to have this in my arsenal. Thank you kindly!

I just make sure my hair is soaking wet and slather in the honey. To really get it to my roots, I massage it in to work it down in there.

 

[sunnieb]

I don't have time to do honey-only treatments anymore. But I still mix plenty of honey in with my weekly dc's and it still gives me some lasting shine.

Here is my hair yesterday. Last time I dc'd was Sunday night.
