FAQ: Does Honey Make Hair White?
Now this sounds incredibly scary, but it appears to be a concern of many people who are keen to try honey as a natural, chemical-free, moisturising shampoo. Some sources seem to be suggesting that honey should not be used on the hair as it has whitening effects.
I have very dark black hair and honey does not have any negative effect on the color despite the fact it has been used many times on my hair as a conditioning shampoo. In fact, honey has made my hair look even glossier and darker. Yes, raw honey naturally releases hydrogen peroxide upon diluting with water, but the amount is too minute to turn black hair into white. It is safe to be used on the hair.
For those with light color hair, for instance light brown, honey when used regularly as hair mask over time or when it is applied to the hair for 8 to 10 hours without rinsing off may give the hair a slightly lighter color tone. But in order to turn brown hair into white, you would need a much larger amount of hydrogen peroxide than what a small amount of honey is able to produce.
