Did it lighten anyone's hair?

Did it lighten anyone's hair?

Someone stated that it made their hair from dark brown to light but they have been using honey for a while so I figure it will take a while to lighten the hair but for now just enjoy the moisture benefits Messiah

 

[Jobwright]

sunnieb Thanks!

Messiah I always do black tea or coffee rinses so I have no idea about the lightening effects. I am basically using honey just for the moisturizing benefits.

 

[sunnieb]

Did it lighten anyone's hair?

Messiah - yes! I wanted to lighten my hair, so I haven't been heating the honey before I apply it.

Here's a pic from post #64:

Now, my hair has a light brown tint all over. However, my natural hair color is black. There's only so much honey can do.

If you don't want to lighten your hair, just heat the honey before application. 10-15 seconds in the microwave should do it.

 

[sunnieb]

Doing a honey treatment right now. Will probably rinse out in about 15 minutes.

I'm loving honey now that I'm using it frequently. I'm even adding in Agave Nectar.

 

[Jobwright]

Honey under my AOHSR for an hour this morning.

What is the best product to mix the honey with??

A lot of people mix it with their favorite conditioners to get a extra moisture boost

 

[soonergirl]

soonergirl - I know! I'm mad that I started this thread last year, and I just got around to really trying straight honey treatments this year!

I can't wait to rinse this honey out and bask in the softy shininess that's left behind!

Good!! I love the honey. Gonna mix with a oil next time.

Great thanks. Ill try it to see how it wrks.

Adding honey in your conditioner is the best non-sticky way to give your hair the benefits of honey. Here are some pics of how it looks when I add honey/evoo to Motions CPR for a light protein dc.

divachyk I do a honey treatment once a week. I wet my hair in the shower and apply honey (mixed with a little olive oil) directly, put on a plastic cap and let it marinate for at least an hour. Luckily, I've been doing this for my entire relaxer cycle this go 'round so I really see the difference in my hair.

My ng retains moisture like never before and detangles so easily. I'm trying to lighten my hair so I don't heat it before applying.

I just did this last night and my hair is lovin' it!

sunnieb, are you placing it on the new growth?

 

[sunnieb]

sunnieb, are you placing it on the new growth?

divachyk absolutely! The honey loosens and moisturizes my new growth. I make sure to apply the honey from root to tip.

 

[sunnieb]

Lesson learned tonight:

I have to think of a better way to apply honey when dealing with so much newgrowth. I made it through, but whew!

I'll make a trip to Sally's this weekend to see if I can find some kind of applicator bottle and cut the tip off or something. I have to be sure I get the honey all the way down to the newgrowth.

I've never seen a bottle like that. I'll buy one and try it out.

I'm really enjoying my honey-shined hair this morning!

 

[sunnieb]

I took a break from honeying to get through the last of my relaxer stretch.

Welp, I'm a week post, and doing a honey treatment right now!

 

[sunnieb]

Might do a honey treatment tonight.......

 

[Saludable84]

I tried honey once and didn't like it. I tried it in shampoo and in DC. But I did out some in my friends DC and she said it worked really well.

 

[Jobwright]

I'm still using honey in every DC. It's habit now.

My edges are now lighter from adding some honey to my conditioner for many months. I noticed when I got up close that I had lighter, even my SO said it looks like my hair was bleached, cool, it's not dramatic but it is lighter

Yep, I love the lightening from honey!

However, I don't think my hair has gotten as light as it's going to get. I love the look of being black, but brown in the sun.

I have a mix of honey and EVOO sitting on my hair right now.

 

[sunnieb]

I love the results of using honey and EVOO! My hair has a natural shine but no greasiness.

 

[sunnieb]

Seriously neglected my hair last week, so starting off this week with a honey treatment to boost the moisture.

TheEspressoHair I just mix them in a bowl, apply to damp hair, and rinse after 30 minutes or so. Love it!
