Itchy scalp? Let honey solve your problem! Honey's moisturizing benefits can help treat scalp conditions like dandruff and dermatitis. And because of its antioxidant, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, it can also soothe psoriasis and eczema (which can often affect the scalp).

Honey benefit no. 7: Honey lightens your hair

Honey can also lighten your hair, providing you a natural way to get some subtle highlights. You see, honey contains the enzyme glucose oxidase and if you let it sit on your hair, it will release hydrogen peroxide, which in turn lightens the hair.

Just combine three tablespoons of honey and two tablespoons of water, apply the mixture to your hair and leave it on for one hour before rinsing. Doing this once a week will give you visible results without the usual hair damage you get from hair dyes and bleach. (And it's a lot more gentle than using lemon juice!)
