Published in Hair Care 2 mins read

You can make a simple honey hair conditioner with just two ingredients: coconut oil and raw honey.

Here's a breakdown of the process, including optional additions for enhanced benefits:

Basic Honey Conditioner Recipe

This recipe provides a moisturizing and conditioning treatment for your hair.

Ingredients:

  • 1-2 tablespoons coconut oil (adjust based on hair length and thickness)
  • 1-2 tablespoons raw honey (adjust based on hair length and thickness)

Instructions:

  1. Combine: Thoroughly mix the coconut oil and raw honey in a bowl until well combined. It may be helpful to slightly warm the coconut oil to make it easier to mix.
  2. Apply: Apply the mixture to damp hair, focusing on the ends and avoiding the scalp if you have oily hair.
  3. Wait: Leave the conditioner on for at least 30 minutes, or ideally overnight with a shower cap.
  4. Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with warm water. You may not need to use a separate conditioner afterward.

Optional Additions

For enhanced benefits, consider adding these ingredients:

Ingredients:

  • 5 drops lavender essential oil (for relaxation and scalp health)
  • 5 drops rosemary essential oil (for hair growth and thickness)
  • ½ teaspoon amla powder (for strengthening hair and preventing premature graying)
  • ½ teaspoon shikakai powder (for gentle cleansing and detangling)

Instructions:

  1. Add: Combine the optional ingredients with the coconut oil and honey mixture.
  2. Apply: Apply the mixture to damp hair, focusing on the ends and avoiding the scalp if you have oily hair.
  3. Wait: Leave the conditioner on for at least 30 minutes, or ideally overnight with a shower cap.
  4. Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with warm water. You may not need a separate conditioner afterward.

Important Notes:

  • Adjust amounts: Adjust the amount of each ingredient based on your hair length, thickness, and individual needs.
  • Patch test: Before applying to your entire head, perform a patch test on a small area of skin to check for any allergic reactions.
  • Consistency: The consistency of the conditioner can be adjusted by slightly warming the coconut oil or adding a small amount of water.
  • Storage: Store any leftover conditioner in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
