My hair is really fine, too. It's just that I think mine forms tighter curls than yours, I think, from pics I've seen. But when I wake up in the morning, my hair is a big Brill-o pad, too.
I use honey the same way I used to use shampoo. Palm-sized blob, applied to roots, massage in, rinse. It dissolves very quickly once it hits water and doesn't take that long to get out. You just want to make sure you get all of it so your hair isn't sticky, but as much as I read that warning the first time I tried it, I've never had sticky hair. If I think I need more, I add more. I do that about once a week.
Then I add conditioner. I just check the label to make sure there aren't any silicones in it (you can find lists online for this by searching "silicone-free conditioner"). I comb through and sometimes use a hell of a lot of conditioner. I only rinse it out to get the excess out of my hair, and sometimes I add more. Then I put a quarter-sized drop of oil in my palm, rub my palms together, and run the oil through my hair at the front and top of my head. If the ends look dry, I'll put a little on the ends, but I find sometimes it leaves spots on my clothes. Then I wrap my whole head in a men's XXL cotton tee shirt with my hair piled on top of my head. (not a towel, terrycloth bits get between hair strands and separate them so they can frizz). Then I get dressed, do morning stuff, and undo the tee-shirt last minute before walking out the door. No styling.
