Found another good
honey article. Think I'll try some of the recipes. I'll post the full article and recipes below in case the website disappears one day.

Most of us know honey as an alternative sweetener contributing to a healthier lifestyle. But who knew that slathering the sticky, sweet substance onto your hair could help? Okay, some of you probably did know honey has conditioning properties. But did you know that it’s also a great ingredient for boosting hair growth?
Honey, being an emollient, is one of my favorite ingredients to use in hair packs. But as soon as I learned that it also promotes hair growth, I decided to do my research to know if it really works. Here’s what I found:
Is Honey Good For Hair Growth?
- Honey is an emollient which means it seals moisture in your hair, keeping it conditioned. This reduces breakage, which is often a cause for slower hair growth.
- It has rich antioxidant properties which prevent damage, keeping your scalp and hair healthy.
- Honey strengthens the hair follicles, curbing hair fall.
- Honey also comprises antibacterial and antiseptic qualities. This prevents scalp infections and soothes issues like dandruff, eczema, and psoriasis, allowing for unhindered hair growth.
- Honey cleans the hair follicles by getting rid of impurities. This minimized clogging is often a reason for hair loss.
- Using honey as a hair care ingredient not only boosts hair growth but also stimulates hair re-growth from dormant follicles.
Keeping these points in mind, I have put together a list of honey hair masks that helps promote hair growth.
