honey is effective in treating damaged hair thanks to the humectants it contains. it also smells nice, and will leave hair with a sweet after-scent.
honey contains both fructose and glucose, natural sweeteners that nourish the hair. Honey also retains water and moisture, allowing it to hydrate hair while providing vitamins and minerals such as copper, iron, manganese, calcium, sodium, potassium, phosphorous and vitamin b. in a 2001 study conducted by the dubai specialized medical centre, patients experiencing hair loss and scaling and itching scalps were instructed to rub honey onto their scalp for 2 to 3 minutes a day. all the patients experienced relief from the itching and an improvement in hair loss. the same concept can be applied at home to encourage hair growth.
mix 1/3 cup of honey with 2 tbsp. of olive or almond oil. carefully apply the mixture through hair, and wrap hair in a shower cap. leave on for 30 minutes, then rinse.
