Honey or molasses hair treatments are an easy way to treat and condition dry hair when you are relaxing in your home spa (not recommended for public spas for obvious reasons). These treatments take the natural ingredients of honey (which will lighten your hair slightly so use molasses to avoid this side effect), to condition your hair, its roots and your scalp. If your hair has been damaged through blow drying, curling and hairspray these recipes will give it back its natural color, moisture, body and shine, all while giving you an excuse to relax in your bath or home spa.
