I rinsed until the feel of anything in my hair was out and then shampooed, rinsed and shampooed one more time and rinsed. I blew dry my hair and it was so manageable and shiny. When I went to flat iron my hair it was beautiful not to mention it made my highlights pop. They looked really good. I would recommend using honey. I already use it on my face as a quick mask and rinse.

It makes my hair far softer than using the conditioner by itself. However, I would never (...again ^_^) straight out apply honey to my 'fro. Sticky mess...

This article seems to have a bias for straight hair - or naturally assumes everyone has straight hair - because the stickiness and hold of honey is not an issue with curly hair. Plus, curly haired women do not have to worry about passing a comb through other than when it is wet. (And by curly hair, I don't mean barely wavy; I mean actual curls.) Silicones are terrible for your hair. They require harsh sulfates to remove and prevent moisture from getting into the hair shaft. They only give the ILLUSION of moisture and health - honey will actually make your hair healthy. Honey is vastly superior, especially for women who have curls as opposed to limp, straight locks.

I have somewhat dry and porous hair which sometimes gets a frizzy. I tried this deep conditioning treatment and applied honey mixed with warm olive oil for 1 hr. My hair feels noticeably soft and smooth. But honey being a lightening agent can bleac my hair substantially- so i will have to switch to something else. Any suggestions- natural and readily avialable treatment. I too disagree have to disagree with you- honey does help dry hair. I have somewhat dry and porous hair which sometimes gets a frizzy.
