I generally only use conditioner + honey in my SMT, and I've been experimenting stirring some herbal hair rinse into my mix (after it's been microwaved).
So far it seems to make it easier to work through my hair and rinse out, which is nice, with no negative effects on the treatment itself. :)
Has anyone else had to leave honey out of this with hair growth? I didn't use to get stickiness from honey before, but with my current length I do. Aloe vera works very good at least when I rinse it out pretty carefully.
I don’t remember getting stickiness with honey, but it built up very quickly. I felt I had to clarify, so there wasn’t any point in including the honey.
Edit: I answered to wrong thread...
I haven’t noticed any problems with the honey, but I’ve also made it with olive oil in its place when I’ve run out (so 4 parts conditioner, 1 aloe, 1 olive oil). It’s not really a proper substitution for the recipe of course but it was still a lovely treatment :)
That's how I usually now condition my hair and this works very good, especially kept overnight :)Quote:

Wet or damp, after washing. The first page in this thread has a lot of useful information about this popular treatment. :oQuote:
