It also has to do with hair texture, too Afro texture hair types can tolerate heavy oils. It's in our hair routines for years. That's why hair companies formulate the oil with sophisticated cones to make it lighter for other hair types. I have Afro-textured hair and I prefer the pure carrier oils.
Oh definitely! I touch on this towards the end of the video-not every hair type needs the same type/amount of "lightening up" ingredients, and some won't need any at all :) It's all about knowing what your hair loves and how to serve it up ❤️
i've been making my own hair oil formula for a few years now, it was mostly for nourishing and "feeding" the hair, BUT for styling, it didn't really give me the most desirable results, that was until earlier this year when i started adding one new ingredient: Shea Butter! which gave me hair cream instead of hair oil, which is actually better for curly hair such as mine, it won't weight down the hair, i have a "jewfro" and ever since i started adding shea butter to the formula, the volume and thickness i had when i was younger came back! not to mention, it won't leave an "oil puddle" on my pillow/gym equipment/shower floor anymore!
which oils you use depends on your needs. it's a long list. i've thought about making a video about it to share the recipe. there are other videos on youtube and most of them coincide on which oils are best. but here's some. for carrier base, the recommended ones are usually argan, castor and olive. for essential oils, ratios depend on personal need/preference, but the usual ones are rosemary for growth, cedarwood for strength, peppermint for circulation. this is not my whole formula and ratios but i might make a video like i said, even though i'm not a "youtuber" i just used to upload random personal things ever since youtube was a novelty
I'm 47. I grew up with VO5 Hot hair oil. I'm only 2 seconds into your video but I wanted to say that. I have made my own hot hair oil and I loved it. Now I can't wait to watch your video. Although my favorite thing to put in my hair is it just a nice body butter.
Ooh body butter-how indulgent! I wish my hair was ok with that level of richness, but alas, it is not 😅 If your hair likes butters you're probably going to be more in formulation 2 territory, possibly with even more true oils and less lightening up ingredients. Happy making!
Thanks so much for sharing this...I have tried rich oil only combos but have exactly the same result as you-limp, greasy, stringy hair so I had given up on making my own for me. (Although my daughter's hair loves these rich combos). I can't wait now to try this new formulation and see how I go. I love an excuse to try out a new formulation!
You've done amazing job here! 🎉❤ I replaced NaturaTEC Plantsil (PR gift but I run out) succesfully with isoamyl laurate and a blend of coco-caprylate and isoamyl laurate (my favourite, 20 % & 80 % blend in second formulation). I haven't decided the scent yet. I enjoy Plantsil in haircare and I'm happy that Alexmo Cosmetics carries it...perhaps I'll give it a go later! Also, I modified your first formulation and used IPM and fractionated coconut oil along with clean cotton FO & bulgarian lavender EO. My slightly porous type 2 hair enjoys it. It seems to work well for my friend's type 3 frizzy hair. However I'd love to try something a bit lighter as well so if anyone can suggest me isododecane or cyclomethicone in EU, I'd highly appreciate it! Thanks so much for these formulations.
Thank you so much! Stepping back to one video a month has been SO good for my mental health & creativity ❤️ Just in case you haven't seen, I have been posting a video each month this year, so you might have a few other new videos to check out :)
I"ve been using argan oil on my hair for years... I use it instead of conditioner... it's never made my hair greasy and heavy. I only need three drops for my long hair, and I always massage the drops well into my hands before carefully spreading in evenly through my hair. If you got a bad result from using argan oil, you probably used way too much or didn"t spread it evenly enough through your hair. Or you have oily hair that doesn't need hair oils. Argan oil alone is perfectly fine for getting great shiny results, removing static and steering clear of synthetic conditioners that often contain plastic.
Thank u marie.. we really appreciate all the knowledge u share with us..ive been trying to Dupe store bought hair oil "serums" for a while and discovered Hemisqualene but I've been trying it out at 30 to 40% ... never realisedit could be as high as 80-90% !!!
i really excited to make a lot of your recipes but i think i will need to finish my stash of skin and hair care first! curious question, do you wash the bottles you use? and if you do how do you wash it so u can reuse it? thank you!!! so happy i discover your channel!
Hi Marie! I have been following you for such a long time. You have made such a difference in how I formulate and think about what I am using for ingredients. I had signed up for both of your short courses and completed the one but not the other. I am having a hard time signing into where my studies are. I am using the same sign in info as before, but nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?
Hi! Could you reply to the email you got when you signed up so I can help you there? I don't want to be outing your email address in my public comments :)
I'm so happy to have found you, I've just started on the venture of making my own products. I'm curious how you determine the ratios of each product to use?
My hair is thick, curly but kinda dry specially since i had colored bleached hair for decades, so my hair loves the oils and looks alive after applying 🥰
You do NOT have the hair you had bleached. It has either been cut or fallen out. What you are putting INTO your body is causing the issues. Eat olive oil & or coconut oil. Use them as lotions. Your hair issues will disappear. 😮
I know silicones makes your hair look and feel good, but they are actually suspected of being hormone-disrupting. I don't know if they are in the US but they are in Denmark and other countries, which have really high standards and restrictions.
@@debbiemiller9762 You would still be rubbing the product in your palms before applying it. But I don't know if the silicone transports from the hair to the scalp. The amount and risk is probably small, if you only use 1 or 2 products with questionable ingredients. But if you have many products in your line of skin care, hair care, makeup, cleaning etc., containing several harmful ingredients a cocktail effect happens. And the we have a problem.
Most of my friends really like a “dry oil” made of about 50% cyclo and 50% FCO-then I scent it to their preference (which, depending on the amount, can be just a few drops to 1%)
Hi! I always link to places to purchase all the ingredients for my formulations in the free partner blog post :) www.humblebeeandme.com/simple-silicone-free-hair-oil/ If those links aren't for suppliers in your country, I also have a giant page of places to shop all over the world, which you can find here: www.humblebeeandme.com/resources/.

You could try looking for a local Facebook group for people who like making soap & other cosmetics-they may be able to recommend places to shop. Happy making!
Ah drat! It sounds like a more volatile base is probably the way to go for you. EcoSil is also gorgeous in hair conditioners and lotions, so it won't go to waste 😄

Well … depends on the afro hair, my fine strands and I sometimes beg to differ 😅
Some Afro textures need different types of oil too, for thinner hair light oils work best

Not all Afro hairs are the same, some are thicker than others.

@@kit.e6864 has it been discontinued recently?
@@kit.e6864 me too! That used to be like the most luxurious thing you could do to your hair at home.
I trust Marie of the Humblebee and me so much! She is the BEST! Her formulations have never let me down. I am making this today!!!!
❤️ I can't wait to hear about what you create!
The same goes for body/face oils - they are not pure oils, they are a mix of esters and carbonates + silicones + CCT + a pinch of oils for marketing.
I have 3c/4a hair that is high in density, but the strands are fine. I use old-fashioned castor oil. It's amazing.
I love the wittiness you get into your video 😂😂😂😂 love love love your videos to bits ❤❤❤❤❤

You're so welcome! Thanks for DIYing with me, and happy making ❤️
Hi, could you please give heat protectant a try as its mostly also contains silicones as far as I see the ingredients
Thank you so much I think the first base would be great for like a hair perfume or a sprayable perfume oil
Ι I bought your book and loved it. Μake another one with more secrets for skin care products for us to buy..
Thanks for beautiful recipe 👍😊 be happy always 🎉
Thank you so much ❤️
Mam, If I want to preserve it for long time (like 12-24 Months), Then what kind of preservative can I use in it and how much?
Preservatives are usually for formulations with water. You'll need an antioxidant like she uses in the video.
Silicone in my hair will not go with henna color. Love your video!
very imformative video per usual
Does anyone know if Humblebee has videos for dry scalp ? I would appreciate it so much 😊
Meadowfoam oil is the best hair oil
It is lovely! 🤩
Thank you!
Beautiful, thank you 💕💜💖
can we use it for body or is not rich for it?
I'd refer to this video for body oils: ua-cam.com/video/Be8fC4swb8M/v-deo.html :)

It is so lovely! ❤️

Nettle leaf hydrosol has silicones in it. Try those.

She is talking more about hair serums imo. Not hair oils.
