My Homemade Deep Treament!!!

So I've been thinking of making my own products for a while. Today was DT day and I decided to mix a couple things up that I know my hair loooves (EVOO and honey). I came up with a DT and so far I'm really liking it! It is nice and creamy and has SLIP (omg) so I'm pretty satisfied with it.
I used:
-2 Tbsp of conditioner of choice (I used Nutri-Repair)
-2 Tbsp of EVOO
-1 Tbsp of Honey
First you add the condish and EVOO into a bowl. Then you pour the honey into the bowl and stir until the consistency is sort of whipped and creamy. Then you can section your hair if you want, and smooth/rake the DT through your hair. Finally, put on a plastic bag or shower cap, and leave it on for however long you want, the longer the better!
I might buy some grapefruit seed extract to add and multiply the ingredients so I can store it thus not having to make a new batch every week.
I'll update tonight on how my hair turns out but right now it feels really good, even though it is still up, it feels moisturised. xo
PS: I wouldn't recommend going out with this on your head as with any other DT because you'll look like the thing from outerspace, smelling like honey-coated apples roasted in evoo....but you could always put a hat or a scarf over it, even a slouchie sorta beanie
ETA: I edited this post because I found out that honey only creates peroxide if it is 1/2 cup of honey mixed with 1/2 cup of water. If it is only a tablespoon or so of honey, there is no need to melt it
I don't like melting it anyways.

Later this week I will try out the DT with just EVOO and conditioner mixed together because my microwave stuffed up
I used..
One EGG
1/4 Cup Mayo
3 TBL Spoon Olive Oil
1 TBL Spoon JoJoBa Oil
3 TBL Spoon Coconut Oil
Shea Butter
I mixed it all together and separated my hair and applied for about an hour.. When i washed it my hair felt softer and stronger.. It was a good mix.
I did this on DRY hair

Regarding honey and peroxide....taken from wikipedia
"Hydrogen peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide is formed in a slow-release manner by the enzyme glucose oxidase present in honey. It becomes active only when honey is diluted, requires oxygen to be available for the reaction (thus it may not work under wound dressings, in wound cavities or in the gut), is active only when the acidity of honey is neutralised by body fluids, can be destroyed by the protein-digesting enzymes present in wound fluids, and is destroyed when honey is exposed to heat and light.[67] Honey chelates and deactivates the free ion, which starts the formation of oxygen free radicals produced by hydrogen peroxide and the antioxidant constituents in honey help clean up oxygen free radicals present.[69]"
