Yes, of course it sounds like I've lost my mind. Have I gone wrong yet with any of my tips yet, of course not. Seriously it's wonderful, it makes your hair a little bit softer, and it looks healthy.

So what do you do. Well first off make sure your not allergic to honey. I don't want someone placing honey all over their head and breaking out into an ichy rash and blaming me for it. So Honey or not to honey...that is your question.

* Take about one or two teaspoons (I use two) and mix it with water. A large cup will do.

* Here's the hard part....ummm place it in your hair. *S*...Ok, ok so not so hard. Personally I'm still experimenting on which way works better, but the way I do it is place the ends of my hair it the cup and let soak for a few minutes. I then just pour the rest over my head once I have decided my bath or shower is over with.

*tips*

*To much honey and you'll have sticky hair. It will not hurt your hair, but who wants to head back and have to wash off again?

* To little honey and your not gonna see much of a difference. It's not gonna hurt you, but it's probably not gonna help your hair either.

* Do I need to pour the honey water into my hair then wash my hair? NO!
If your gonna wanna shampoo and condition your hair do it before doing the honey rinse.

* Benefits of honey
Honey is perhaps the golden key to everything in the world as far as I'm concerned. I love coffee grounds (which I have discussed before) but honey is natures natural everything. It fights off bacteria, it sweet to the taste, it's a beautiful color,it helps permote healing quickly, and it makes your hair shine. Much like caffine, coffee, and teas. As you have noticed your starting to see a rise in products carrying these products from makeup, skin conditioners, vitamin, hair care, etc. Look down the isle of your grocery store, or beauty market and you'll see also honey. Honey and milk, etc.

* can I mix honey with other things?...YES. Do some research yourself. Honey is used as a face mask, hair rinse, and perhaps one that the medical community has finally caught on....to help wounds heal quickly. Unless your allergic to honey, your days of honey baths, facial products, hair care is endless. Other options I have learned have been honey and lemon oil with water...for the blonds out there. It helps get out chlorine color and other chemicals and gives your hair a fresh blonde color. Honey face mask, mix with nuts, bannana's etc. The possibility is endless. So look around, experiment....and trust me when I say this. They honey rinse has helped my hair, and makes it look less dull. I love it, and it all came from my kitchen counter.
