Natural Honey and Oil Deep Conditioner


Since I dye my hair, I am 54 with lots of grey, I need to deep condition my hair.  In my quest for natural products, I decided that I would make a deep conditioner for my hair.  I have squirt bottles that I bought at the grocery store for $1.00 per bottle.  So it was easy to mix this up quick and put in my hair.

I decided on several ingredients, the first being natural raw honey.  Honey is a natural humectant and it is great for your skin and hair so this definitely made the list of must have ingredients.  I also wanted to use olive oil since it is a great conditioner for both hair and skin.  The last ingredient that I decided to use was macadamia nut oil for its penetrating capabilities.  It also helps with damage from the chemicals of dye and pollutants in the environment.

I must tell you that this is the first time I used this.  It is very sticky and you have to carefully work it into your hair, but it is worth the trouble.  My hair feels amazingly soft and looks great and this is 7 days later.  I really recommend this to anyone who wants to deep condition their hair.


Natural Honey and Oil Deep Conditioner

2 oz natural raw honey (heated so it is melted about 30 seconds)
2 oz olive oil
1 oz macadamia nut oil
plastic shower cap or trash bag
headband

Whisk ingredients together and pour into a squirt bottle.  Squirt into hair a little at a time making sure you get your hair well covered with the honey oil mixture.  Work it through hair as well as possible.  Then cover your head with the shower cap or trash bag and put headband around your head to keep the heat in created from your head.  The heat from your head will help this conditioner work better.  Let it sit in your hair for 30 minutes and then wash your hair with your regular shampoo.  You may need to wash it a second time to make sure you have all of the deep conditioner out, then use your regular conditioner.

I was amazed at how great my hair felt after doing this deep conditioning treatment.  My hair normally feels good, but this took the softness to a whole new level.  I kept saying to my husband, feel how soft my hair is.  He just does what I ask and shakes his head.  Anyway, it still feels great and I did this treatment six days ago, so give it a try.

Let me know what you think of this Natural Honey and Oil Deep Conditioner.  I would love to hear from you, and what you use for a deep conditioner.

Enjoy!!!

  4. I started doing '30 min. olive oil in hair'-treatments two years ago, as with so much sun here, my hair has dried out. With just that, it already works great. I'll try adding some honey next time...
