Honey is a humectant, which means it has a tendency to hold on to water molecules. This is a desirable property in a moisturizer, especially one designed for skin. But unlike skin, hair is not alive and it doesn’t need as much moisture as skin does. Honey is not a good lubricant, so it doesn’t have any benefit for making hair slippery and smooth. In fact, it’s the opposite of slippery—it’s sticky because it’s basically a sugary solution. (Rub some between your fingers and you’ll see!) It will not smooth your cuticles or help a comb pass through your hair without damaging it. So any moisture-grabbing benefits that honey might give your hair are offset by its stickiness. The bottom line is that honey is not good for conditioning your hair.
