Almost all of us put great importance in our hair styling and appearance, which is why beautiful hair is always somewhat of an object of envy. Hair care is therefore an extremely important matter and should be a concern. There are many natural methods to make one’s hair look healthy and beautiful and one such way to hair care is the usage of honey. Honey has been a part of hair care for centuries mainly because its recipes are very versatile and suit any type of hair, be it straight or curly. The ingredients of honey add moisture to the hair and therefore help by making hair manageable. It is very suitable to dry or damaged hair due to honey’s characteristic of holding on to water molecules. The important and most attractive part of using honey as a hair conditioner is that it is not expensive and does wonders in improving the condition of one’s hair. Honey hair conditioner is very easy to make.

The following recipe should suffice to make one application for medium length hair. For longer hair the ingredients need to be doubled. Take a bowl with one tablespoon of olive oil which is considered to be a very good ingredient for hair care. Moreover, olive oil can get easily rinsed off from the hair. Mix this with two tablespoons of natural honey which is the main ingredient in the conditioner and has great cleansing properties. It forms a protective layer over the hair and prevents it from damage by any styling products, be it bleached hair or honey colored hair. Next pour in one tablespoon of buttermilk which also acts as a moisturizing agent. Buttermilk has lactic acid in it which is a very good resource that helps build the elasticity and strength of the hair. Heat the mixture in a microwave for 30 to 60 seconds till it becomes hot. Then mix it in one tablespoon of flour to make a paste. This warm paste should be applied to damp hair and should be left to condition for 20 minutes. Then the hair can be washed normally with shampoo and conditioner. However, it should be kept in mind that honey can lighten hair after a while which might cause a few problems. However, it is important to note that this conditioner is all natural and would not contain any chemicals or toxins that would cause hair any harm and hence, can be used as frequently as possible.
