However, very few of us are aware of how good is honey for hair growth too. Today we will take a closer look at the wonderful benefits of this amazing ingredient and answer the question – “Is honey really good for your hair?”

1.Moisturizing honey masks

Make sure your hair is pulled back from your face before starting one of these recipes. Your face will feel clean and soft afterwards.

Scoop a generous spoonful of honey into your hand and spread all over your face. Rub it into your skin and let sit for 5-30 minutes. Rinse with warm water. 

Combine 1 tbsp buttermilk, 1 tsp honey, and 1 egg yolk. Apply to clean skin and let sit 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water.

2.Hair growth

Mix one tablespoon honey with one small glass of brandy or vodka and onion juice; rub mixture into the scalp every night, cover with a cap and shampoo in the morning. According to the Ayurveda, an ancient Indian system of healing that originates more than 5000 years ago, a mixture of honey and alcohol can stimulate and promote hair growth.

3.Honey hair shine-boosting rinse

Combine a spoonful of honey with a quart of warm water. Rinse through hair after shampooing. Let it condition for an hour, then rinse. 

Mix 1-1/2 tsp honey with 5 cups warm water. Rinse through hair and leave on. Dry and style as usual.

5.Massage on the scalp
