Did you know that raw honey isn’t just for your skin and internal health? It’s a powerful ingredient for haircare too. As a natural humectant, raw honey pulls water from the air, locking in moisture for shiny, soft and healthy hair. Packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, it strengthens from root to tip and protects against thinning and breakage.

Raw Honey: liquid gold for all hair types
Natural shampoo bars are increasingly popular as they ditch harsh and potentially hormone disrupting chemicals like SLS and silicones in favour of biodegradable, nourishing ingredients.
But not all natural haircare products are created equal - raw honey stands out 'head and shoulders' above other natural hair cleansing and nourishing ingredients for its unmatched detoxing, humectant and enhancing properties - just ensure it’s raw, unfiltered, and unpasteurised honey in your haircare otherwise you will not be reaping the natural benefits!
Ready to dive into 10 ways raw honey can transform your hair?
1. Promotes Healthy Hair Growth
Rich in vitamins and amino acids, raw honey nourishes and strengthens hair follicles, helping to reduce hair fall and encourage thicker, fuller growth.
In a 2013 study it was found that honey promotes cellular growth, especially in hair follicles, supporting healthy, stronger natural growth along with a marked improvement of seborrheic dermatitis.
2. Supports Thinning and Greying Hair
Antioxidants in raw honey protect against oxidative stress that leads to greying, while its nutrients nourish thinning hair and strengthen strands. Raw honey also helps remove any 'brassiness' if your hair is highlighted. Whatever the colour of your hair raw honey will supremely hydrate it, without heaviness and add a lovely sheen.
Our Queen Bee Shampoo Bar is our most moisturising and protective bar, promoting a healthy scalp and strengthening hair, making it a great choice for reducing breakage and encouraging healthy growth without the harsh chemicals.
3. Boosts Scalp Health
Raw honey’s antibacterial properties cleanse the scalp, reducing irritation and dandruff, while maintaining a healthy foundation for hair growth by balancing the scalp microbiome.
Our Glossy Bee Shampoo Bar is perfect for gently cleansing finer, oilier hair while balancing the scalp’s natural oils.
4. Enhances Shine
Raw honey creates a natural sheen, smoothing frizz and leaving hair glossy without synthetic silicones.
5. Softens & Conditions
With its humectant properties, honey detangles and softens hair, improving manageability.
For extra softness, pair with the Queen Bee Conditioner Bar, which leaves hair smooth and tangle-free.
6. Locks in Moisture
Raw honey deeply hydrates, sealing moisture into each strand without greasy build-up or hair and environment damaging silicones.
7. Detoxifies and Cleanses
Raw honey gently removes impurities and product build-up, leaving hair clean without stripping natural oils.
8. Improves Manageability
Raw honey’s natural emollients make hair smoother and easier to style, whether straight, curly, or frizzy.
For sensitive scalps, try our fragrance free, soap style super gentle Sensitive Bee Shampoo bar and matching Sensitive Bee conditioner.
9. Enhances Natural Butters
When paired with natural plant butters and oils, raw honey locks in their goodness and compliments these fellow natural ingredients for enhanced nourishment, absorption and protection - raw honey works as a humectant vehicle, allowing moisture and hydration to be transported and sealed into hair and scalp.
10. Balances Scalp pH
The slightly acidic nature of raw honey works in tandem with the organic vinegars to maintain a healthy scalp microbiome, reduce frizz and scalp issues caused by a too alkaline scalp microbiome.
