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!

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!
