2. Honey
Honey is packed with antioxidants that work to soften your hair while giving your scalp and hair follicles a healthy boost! Adding honey to this hair tonic helps give your hair a healthy grow while promoting growth. The sugar in the honey also helps to moisturize your hair while preventing hair loss.
