Science Notes

Honey may seem like an odd hair care product, but in fact, honey contains 2 properties which makes it beneficial to your hair. Honey is a humectant, this means that it retains moisture. Honey is also emollient, this means that it has the ability to soften and soothe.

Avocado contains many vitamins, proteins and magnesium which help boost hair growth and strength. Avocado is also said to add shine, soften and smooth and add nourishment to your hair.

If you are finding it hard to manage the honey, especially if you keep your honey in the fridge, then try heating the honey in the microwave. Pour or spoon the required amount of honey into a heat-proof bowl and place into your microwave. Heat for about 30 seconds so that it is runny but not hot – if it is too hot, it may burn your hair and scalp.
