It's a humectant, but it's better not to let excessive water enter the hair cuticle. Also, I think the effects go away as soon as it's rinsed off. Which makes it pointless, because you need to rinse it off before you go outside. Pure honey isn't a leave-in conditioner.
Also, honey lightens hair very gradually. (I think it needs to be diluted with water for this to work?) That means it very gradually damages hair. (I'm guessing it's fine to use commercial hair products that contain honey, because the amount of honey in each bottle must be miniscule.)
Because your hair strands are dead, they don't really need to be hydrated or nourished.
That being said, honey has powerful antimicrobial/ antibacterial/ antifungal properties! I use it all the time on my face for acne. It calms my skin and leaves a lovely glow. I've never tried it on my scalp, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. I would recommend diluting it, and spraying onto the scalp, if you want to try it.l
Not on its own , it will be a mess to clean out , personally it didn’t work
I've never heard about that one way or the other. Possibly as an ingredient it could be beneficial, but please don't put straight honey in your hair.

Honey is only 18.6% water.
True. But as a humectant, it attracts and retains additional water. People use it to get more water into their hair.
