How I Healed My Damaged Hair with Serum Hair Treat from Honey Girl Organics
Share
One year ago today, I made a bold decision: after dyeing my hair black for 15 years, I lifted it to achieve the strawberry blonde shade of my dreams.
What I didn’t expect?
The reality check that came with that decision was cutting off 6+ inches of damaged hair and sitting through multiple bleaching sessions. While I finally achieved my perfect shade of red, I soon realized that my hair was so dry and brittle that the color didn’t look good.
That same day, I made another decision.
If I wanted long, healthy hair that was once again cascading down my back, I had to act fast. I knew I couldn’t just repair the damage at the ends; I had to start at the scalp to ensure I was growing the healthiest hair possible. That’s when I reached for the Serum Hair Treat and decided to take my hair care seriously.
I had used Serum Hair Treat before, especially in the summer after long beach or pool days, so I knew it was nourishing. But I wanted to go deeper. As I scrolled through reviews, I stumbled upon this:
"Amazing product! I have recently started using the hair serum on my ends after I shower. My hair is getting so much softer, and my hairdresser commented on how healthy my hair is. I can't wait to use it as a pre-shower hair mask next!" – Annie

A pre-shower hair mask? Genius. Around that time, I kept seeing scalp oiling everywhere on social media, so I combined the two into a weekly ritual. I’m so grateful for Annie and her review because it was the spark that started my hair care journey. Even as a team member at Honey Girl Organics, I’m constantly inspired by our customer reviews. Their clever hacks shape how I use our products and completely transform my routines.
For the past year, I’ve been using Serum Hair Treat twice a week as both a scalp oiling treatment and a deep-conditioning hair mask. It’s become a non-negotiable part of my routine, and now I’m excited to share my exact process so you can join me on the journey to stronger, healthier hair!
Want to follow my routine? Here’s exactly what I did:
On Hair Wash Days:
Prepping the scalp – Brush your hair for 3-5 minutes, focusing on the scalp, to loosen dry skin and increase blood flow.
🐝 Honey Girl Tip: Use a boar bristle brush or a brush with organic bristles, which help distribute natural oil and promote health growth!
Scalp oiling – Massage one pump of Serum Hair Treat into your scalp, focusing on your roots.
Mid-to-end nourishment – Work a small amount (around half a pump) throughout the rest of your hair, focusing on dry ends.
Let it work its magic – Gently pin your hair up (I love using a claw clip to avoid breakage, as once hair has been oiled, it is more delicate and prone to damage, like wet hair) and let the oil sit for at least 30 minutes, but ideally 90 minutes for deep nourishment.
Rinse out – Shampoo and condition as usual. If your hair is fine or prone to buildup, a double shampoo may help you! After towel-drying, apply a minimal amount of Serum Hair Treat to damp or dry hair, focusing on the ends.
🐝 Honey Girl Tip: To minimize damage, use a microfiber towel or a 100% cotton T-shirt to wrap up hair instead of a conventional towel, which has been shown to increase breakage.
On Non-Wash Days:
- Continue brushing your hair intentionally every morning and night to stimulate the scalp!
2. Spot-clean only – Instead of over-washing, I’d section off the oily areas (usually the crown) and do a quick wash, leaving the rest untouched. This helped preserve my natural oils while keeping my hair feeling fresh until the next hair wash day.
3. If your hair isn’t super fine, apply a bit of Serum Hair Treat to dry ends between washes for extra nourishment!
The Results?
One year later, my hair had grown over 8 inches, but beyond the length, the transformation was undeniable. The brittle, damaged strands I once struggled with were a thing of the past. My hair felt soft, shiny, and full of life, almost like virgin hair. It’s hard to believe it was ever bleached or dyed.
Not only had my hair recovered, but it was the healthiest it had ever been. The split ends that once felt inevitable were nowhere to be found. Instead of feeling rough or dry, my strands had a silkiness I hadn’t experienced in years, maybe ever!
But more than just the physical results, this journey completely changed how I think about hair care. I used to assume my hair was what it was and that nothing could really change it.
It turns out that a bit of intention goes a long way, and now I’ll never return!
If you’ve been waiting for a sign to start taking your hair health seriously, whether recovering from damage or just wanting it to be its healthiest, this is it…
Serum Hair Treat deserves a place in your hair care routine!
This serum contains powerhouse ingredients like organic extra virgin olive oil, which provides deep hydration; beeswax, which seals in moisture; and lemon and peppermint oils, which stimulate the scalp and enhance hair growth.
It has everything you need to bring your hair back to life.
Here’s to taking our hair as seriously as our skincare this year because healthy, radiant hair starts with the care we give it!
