I don't use a pre-shampoo the week after relaxing; for me it tends to cut the length of my relaxer. When I do a pre-shampoo I have a bunch of different things that I use.
Sometimes I use coconut milk, coconut oil 3 drops of wheat germ oil and a couple of tbl spoons of honey. My hair is always super shiny after that treatment.
I will also use a carrier oil with some honey, agar-agar and a few drops of WGO.
I find that my hair is more receptive to the oils during the summer when my hair is exposed to the sun and heat.

Ever the experimenter...I decided to try this thing with honey added to my conditioner tonight..Well! ..it didnt work out. It made my hair hard and tangled, even when I rinsed it out, it was still all tangled and I lost alot of hair trying to comb through it...Oh well
Did you warm it slight and the mix it with conditioner and olive oil, that way always works for me. Try using only a tablespoon of honey next time mixed with conditioner and olive oil. I use it after I wash, not before.

I tried this the other day, and the results were AMAZING.
I used:
1 Tblspoon Honey
1 oz castor oil
Lots and lots of Natures Gate Herbal Conditioner
Put on dry hair as preshampoo, left on for 2 hours. When I was rinsing, my hair felt like silk.
I know for sure that the honey played a major role because this conditioner has never given me anywhere near that amount of slip before (including times when I've mixed it with oils). This honey thing is definitely a keeper

Honey and castor oil sounds great!!!! Maybe when I'm trying to use up some of these instant conditioners I can use that.
I used to mix honey and olive oil in my QH cholesterol, and my hair always came out super shiny!
I also used to religiously do the honey and olive as a pretreatment but I have been a bad girl......this post has inspired me to get back on the ball......

Girl, definitely do.
I was initially scared that honey was going to make my hair sticky and hard to detangle, so I figured the castor oil would ensure that didn't happen. It came out HEAVENLY as a pre-shampoo, and I'm pretty sure the same would happen if used as a deep conditioner.

I got a 5 pound container of honey from Sam's for $11. This will last a while.
I used it with Dove intense moisturizer and olive oil and my hair is very soft and shiny today!!! Yaaay!

I only add it to the conditioner that I'm using for the day. I mix it in a bowl with my applicator brush so I can make sure it's distributed evenly.

I love honey in a pretreatment. I mix it with castor and coconut oils. I may just have to try using it in conditioner post-shampoo as well.

I added honey to Tea Tree cholesterol and put it on my daughter's hair like it was a relaxer. Let it sit on her hair for a while. Her hair was sooooo soft. I clarified it first with some baking soda so I know the conditioner worked its magic.
After it did so well with hers, I used the same mixture on my hair and just going on I could tell this time was a winner. I brushed with my Denman and I am in love with this combination. I hadn't combed in a couple or three weeks and I should have had hair coming out by the handfuls with normal shedding.
I think I'm going to add a preshampoo with honey and olive oil. And then do another deep conditioner with the honey. My hair is still shiny and I washed on Saturday night.
Keeper!!
