Great recipe! Did this today and modified some things, instead of using 1 tablespoons of honey and olive oil I used 2 tablespoons just to make sure it got everywhere, massaged everywhere. I'd recommend using a very hot (not scorching hot) towel and leave for a nice hour. And instead of just shampooing out, I mixed my coconut-hibiscus Shea moisture shampoo and conditioner together and then conditioned again. Left my hair awesome and soft, not to mention it's so easy to do. Give 4 out of 5 stars.

I use this recipe but with coconut oil instead of the olive oil. Omgosh the smell is amazing and when i rinse it out my hair is buttery soft til my next wash..i recommend it for anyone trying to combat dryness.

I did this the other night. I think I microwaved it too long. My hair was very soft afterwards. I may not microwave it next time.

I use this receipe, but I also add conditioner to the mix. Leave it on for 45-1 hour in a shower cap, rinse well and style as usual. Love it!!!

This worked like a charm! I used coconut oil rather than olive (because I had it on hand and it smells amazing). I washed with sulphate-free shampoo and added honey to my conditioner as well. My hair had gotten dry and gone literally stick-straight after a trip to Phoenix and I was panicked my curls were gone forever. I came out of the shower and could see the curls were starting to develop again and then I did some extra stuff (plopping, new products etc.) and I'm back in business! I'll use this as a go-to recipe from now on. Thanks for adding it!

I've tried this once before, but overdid it on the ingredients (my fault). Word of caution: rinse out your shower very well. I ended up with hungry ants the next day :(

This works pretty well. It leaves my hair shiny, soft and gives bounce to my curls!
