Tired of dry, damaged hair?
By dint of putting products on our hair to beautify it, we end up tiring it!
And I'm not even talking about hair dryers that are too hot or curling irons that damage the hair fiber...
But then, how to maintain your hair without damaging it?
Simply by using natural products. You know, the ones in your kitchen, especially honey.
Why honey? Honey has the power to repair dry or damaged hair.
Honey is a recognized natural moisturizer.
It is packed with antioxidants and nutrients to nourish the hair follicles which house the living part of the hair.
In addition, honey promotes hair growth. What more could you ask for?!
Here are my 4 magic honey remedies to repair dry and damaged hair .
These natural treatments will restore health and shine to dry hair, from the scalp to the root. Watch:
This recipe only contains honey and water, nothing else! It couldn't be simpler.
What you need
- 70 g of organic honey
- water
Mix honey with just enough cool water to make a liquid lotion that's easy to spread on hair.
To do this, add the water little by little while stirring.
Then, apply to your damp hair like a classic shampoo and leave to act for 30 minutes. Rinse with warm water.
If you have very long or very thick hair, increase the amount of honey.
Apple cider vinegar is great for giving hair a nice shine. In addition, it acts as a natural detangler.
What you need
- 70 g of organic honey
- 10 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
Mix honey and apple cider vinegar. Apply like a shampoo to damp hair and leave on for 15 minutes. Rinse with warm water.
Olive oil moisturizes the hair and that in just a few applications. It also hydrates and cleanses the scalp and hair roots. Finally, it smooths and repairs dry and damaged hair.
What you need
- 150 g of organic honey
- 70 ml of olive oil
Combine the ingredients, heating the mixture very slightly if necessary. Then, apply to the hair, leaving it to act for at least 15 minutes. Rinse with clean water.
Coconut oil, like olive oil, moisturizes the hair and its roots. In addition, the hair is shinier and lighter too. As coconut oil is packed with nutrients, it is a go-to ingredient in homemade hair treatments.

And There you go ! You now know how to prepare a natural mask to strengthen your hair!
It's still much better than those commercial products with dubious substances (and which do not contain - or not enough - honey to be effective).
With honey, no bad surprises. The hair is soft, shiny, healthy and smooth.
- Apply one of these masks only 1 or 2 times a week, that's more than enough.
- Be patient. Applying honey to damaged and dry hair does not give immediate results. You have to wait 4 to 5 applications to see the benefits.
- If possible, choose unheated organic honey, as it does not have the same properties as doctored honey. You will see, it is not as clear and translucent as the honey that you buy in a dispenser bottle in the supermarket.
- To test, add a little honey to your usual shampoo or conditioner. Handy if you don't have time to prepare a homemade honey hair mask.
- Avoid aggressive products and appliances that are too hot. For example, avoid straightening your hair every day.
- Act according to the type of hair you have. For example, don't apply olive oil and honey to fine, limp hair, which tends to get oily. The result would not be good.
- The hair is amazing. Although they are technically dead when they emerge from the scalp, they are still sensitive to the treatments you give them and can be damaged easily.
