Widely used in our kitchens, honey is also an essential part of our beauty routines.
Since ancient times, its many benefits have been recognized by the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans, who dubbed it the "nectar of the gods" and systematically incorporated it into their beauty rituals. Natural in essence, it contains over 180 components, making it a precious product of great richness.  This complex composition emanates numerous virtues that are excellent for the health of our hair.  In fact, honey has powerful moisturizing and softening properties. It is also highly effective in caring for the scalp, thanks to its antibacterial and cleansing action, and is an excellent purifier thanks to its antioxidant properties.

To take full advantage of the benefits of honey for radiant hair, we've put together 4 100% natural, fast and above all effective recipes to suit every need!

To deeply moisturize dry hair, you'll need:

  • 2 spoonfuls of honey & royal jelly from France or carrot honey from the Gâtinais region of France
  • 2 spoonfuls coconut oil (or a vegetable oil of your choice)
  • 1 egg yolk

Mix together and apply to lengths.

Why Hédène honeys?

  • Royal jelly combined with acacia honey has moisturizing virtues, fortifies hair and stimulates growth thanks to its regenerating properties, which act against hair breakage and loss.
  • Carrot honey is naturally rich in beta carotene, making it an ideal ally for dry hair, providing shine and hydration and promoting regrowth.

    Our tip: for optimum effectiveness, leave this mask on dry hair wrapped in a warm towel overnight, then shampoo as usual. You can repeat the treatment as often as you like, without any risk of damaging your lengths.

    This mask is also particularly effective for taming unruly curls, providing suppleness and shine.

    To combat oily hair, you need:

    • 1 spoon of Lozère chestnut honey or Jura fir honey
    • the juice of a quarter of a lemon
    • 2 spoons of slightly diluted green clay

    Mix then apply to the scalp, avoiding the lengths and ends.

    Why these Hédène honeys  ?
    Chestnut honey and fir honey are the honeys richest in trace elements which, through their antioxidant and purifying action, regulate and reduce sebum production and thus act effectively on hair that greases easily.

    Our tip: Leave this mask on for 20 minutes before washing your hair normally. This mask is done once every two weeks to get results.

    To put an end to dandruff , you need:

    • 2 spoons of honey & essential oils of French thyme or Luberon lavender honey
    • 4 spoons of cider vinegar

    Mix then apply to the affected areas. Leave on for 20 minutes before washing your scalp.

    Why these Hédène honeys  ?

    • Thyme essential oils combined with mountain honey fight dandruff thanks to their antiseptic and antifungal properties and also help invigorate the scalp by promoting blood circulation.
    • Lavender honey also has effective antifungal properties to fight against the fungi responsible for dandruff. In addition, its recognized anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and regenerating actions relieve itching and allow you to enjoy a healthy, germ-free scalp.

    Our tip: You can use a brush to make application easier. This mask should be applied every day for 4 days then once a week to maintain the scalp.

    To naturally lighten the lengths without damaging them, you need:

    • 2 spoons of Vosges acacia honey
    • the juice of half a lemon
    • 4 spoons of chamomile infusion

    Apply this preparation to the areas to be lightened.

    Why this Hédène honey  ?
    Acacia honey contains small amounts of hydrogen peroxide known for its lightening properties.
    On contact with lukewarm water, these particles are released and thus allow the hair to be naturally lightened without damaging it because they are combined with the nourishing action of acacia honey.

    Our tip: You can use a spray bottle to make application easier and more uniform. Repeat this operation every two days until the desired result is obtained.

    For all these treatments, it is important to choose cold-extracted and unpasteurized honeys so that all the beneficial properties of the honey are preserved. At Hédène , all our honeys are guaranteed 100% natural, unheated, unpasteurized and unprocessed for radiantly beautiful hair.
