Too funny...I was just thinking an hour ago that I need more leave-in conditioner and now I see your video. Will try it out and see how it does. Thanks!
Oh my god I'm absolutely in love with your channel! I'm beginning to adjust to a sustainable lifestyle and when ever I finish a product, be it face wash or toner or hair mask I look it up here! Thank you so much for your recipes! You're doing so much for the environment, its really noble. PS- is it necessary to refrigerate this? what happens if I leave it at room temperature?
How do you come up with all these amazing recipes? I am so impressed and inspired by you (been following for a while but think this is my fist comment haha)
Can't wait to try this! I have used coconut oil before, but it is to heavy for my hair. This sounds like it will work on my hair much better. Thank you so much for all your great inspiring videos!!!
Evelyn Lancaster yeah I found coconut oil too heavy too and when I don't use shampoo there is no way to really get rid of it! Let me know how you on with this one and thanks for your support! Xxx
@@FairylandCottage Just wanted to let you know that I gave this a try and love it! I was wondering what you do with the coconut when you are done draining it? I felt kinda bad putting it straight into compost so I added it to my breakfast oats! It had lost a little flavor and texture...but it was good mixed in with everything else.
Good recipe.... I just use a bit of oil straight to my hair... it does become a bit oily... but nothing more than a gel or hairspray... and it's really natural with all the good benifits
Do you think a spoon of frozen coconut cream in water would work as well as the shredded coconut soaked overnight? I like to buy the little tins of it from Waitrose and freeze it in tiny silicone chocolate moulds for later use in cooking. Also a few drops of tea tree essential oil might be good for children, or those working closely with children like teachers, nursery staff etc to prevent head lice - just a thought xxx
Lizzie Dean Makes I like the sound of the tea tree option! Try the frozen coconut cream. I think it may work. Let me know how your experimenting goes xxx
Hello! Another great diy! The chickpea flower is working great, but I would love a little conditioning. Since I already have argan oil, could I use that rather than the rosemary? Or is there a particular reason for the rosemary. Thanks, Tiina 😊
MidLife VanLife when water it used in a product it increases the risk of bacteria etc forming. There are a few things that help prevent that. One is rosemary oil. The other is vitE oil. You could add a few drops of argali oil. Just keep an eye on it and shake before use.
MidLife VanLife o and ps: delighted to hear the chickpea flour is going well! In still using it and it's the bees knees! Thanks for watching the video Tiina 🍄
I heard that you can use rosemary to naturally darken your hair and cover grays. What do you think about adding muddled Rosemary with the Coconut before adding the boiling water instead of the essential oil? Not sure if it would stain...
I would love to try this and I have all the ingredients but I do not have a brown glass bottle. Can I store it in a plastic spray bottle that I have or is the glass necessary for the product?
Dia Duit my friend... hummmm it would have cleaning properties if it is soap and may leave a residue... not sure... you may have to be the tester on that one..
I love this recipe! After I put it in the fridge, it seems bits of the coconut oil hardened. Have you had this happen? I strained with muslin cloth, don't think that was it. Is it ok to keep it out of the fridge?
Kate Wasserman yeah that happened me too but only tiny amounts... it won't last as long out of the fridge but I just kept in my bathroom and was fine for weeks
Kate Wasserman I think it is the oil coming off the coconut. Mad eh! Yes you can thaw it before showering... maybe just on a hair wash day take it out of the shower the night before!
Cristal Hernandez not at all. Although I don't spray heavy on my roots. This is for the ends and the hair. But there is not enough oil in it, to make it oily.
Putting oil on your hair does not make it oily...You just have to find the right type of oil for your hair. Your hair type/health, will determine how much to use.
Sounds like you're you're fighting with oily hair as I used to when I was still over stripping my hair an commercial shampoo. I stopped using chemical shampoo over a year ago - I wash with rye flour now and I'll never go back. My hair is still improving even after a year. I have super fine and thin hair but now I don't have to add any styling products to my hair. It takes time for the glands to realize they don't hand to over produce sebum, but it's worth all the patience it takes. All you need of a natural bristle brush, and (admittedly alot of) patience to wait. Your hair is supposed to have "some" oil in it. That shampoo commercial high gloss shine is NOT what natural hair does - even clean. It comes from some of the (many) chemicals in the shampoo. Food for thought. Hope this helps. Good luck.
its there.... I have copy and pasted it for you.. Recipe: 1 cup of coconut 2 cups boiling water leave overnight strain through a muslin cloth add 3 drops per 100 mils of liquid. I added 15 drops Keep in brown glass bottle Keep in fridge for 1-2 weeks
Niamah I want to start a zero waste life but I want to solve a problem I will marry after a while and when I will buy a refrigerator and a cookerand an AC and they will come in plastic so what will I do
Anime girl in Ireland we have a website where we can buy secondhand which is cheaper and no packaging and it's reusing. It's a win win. If you can't avoid it don't be too hard on yourself because moving into a new house can be hard to keep waste low. Just try buy second hand or you could ask the shop have they got a display fridge etc because that comes unpackaged. Always ask a shop if you can have no package. You never know what they will say.
I love your videos because they're so clear and concise. You don't ramble on for ages.
haha I save my rambling for when I'm talking to my husband ...haha ;-)
I use freshly removed aloe Vera in my damp hair as a leave in conditioner..it has worked wonders for my hair.
Caz Daruwalla nice! I usually only use as a scalp treatment the night before I wash my hair. Do you find you hair greasy at all from it?
Too funny...I was just thinking an hour ago that I need more leave-in conditioner and now I see your video. Will try it out and see how it does. Thanks!
Francine Honoway hehe I love when that happens!! X
I love the beauty and simplicity of your channel. Thank you for sharing!! 😊
Thanks for saying. I really appreciate that insight. x

Awh that is wonderful to hear. thank you.
Anything that contains water needs refrigeration that is why most shop products have preservatives....
This is great. Your videos have given me so much comfort during lockdown. Thank you so much :)
How do you come up with all these amazing recipes? I am so impressed and inspired by you (been following for a while but think this is my fist comment haha)

mrinalini devi yeah good for you! We are so lucky to have so many different types of oils.
@@FairylandCottage ❤
Gracias fairyland...🇲🇽💚🏳👍
Don’t we all need a bit of moisturiser for our hair after the summer that we’ve had in Ireland?! Great recipe. I’ll definitely give it a try. Thanks!
Feeling Crafty haha you said it! So much lovely heat and dry hair x
If I have rosemary growing in my yard, do you think I could use fresh rosemary sprigs to soak in the boiling water along with the coconut flakes?
Can we use Lavender essential oil instead of rosemary?

Do you do anything with the coconut shreds that are left over?
Ally Coxon I should have said. I put it in porridge or cake! X
Amazing!!!! 😍😍😱😱😱😱
I really love your videos!
littlemissfreedom delighted to hear! Thanks so much for saying xxx
Thanks so much!

Hi! Where did you get your hair brush? Would love to buy one! Looks very durable
I found in tkmaxx years ago
I heard that you can use rosemary to naturally darken your hair and cover grays. What do you think about adding muddled Rosemary with the Coconut before adding the boiling water instead of the essential oil? Not sure if it would stain...
I like that idea... definitely worth a try...
I would love to try this and I have all the ingredients but I do not have a brown glass bottle. Can I store it in a plastic spray bottle that I have or is the glass necessary for the product?
N V you can store in plastic. Just keep out of the sunlight.
thank you i need to try this
ClandestineGirl16X yay! Let me know if you do. X
Think you could freeze them in cubes?
Nikki Leone now that is a very clever idea. Much more practical and means they can last longer. Thanks for the tip. X
@@FairylandCottage yes! Great! I'm going to make some thanks for sharing your recipes and ideas!
Dia duit, Niamh! Could I grate a bar of pure virgin oil coconut soap I already have in the house?
Dia Duit my friend... hummmm it would have cleaning properties if it is soap and may leave a residue... not sure... you may have to be the tester on that one..
Good
I love this recipe! After I put it in the fridge, it seems bits of the coconut oil hardened. Have you had this happen? I strained with muslin cloth, don't think that was it. Is it ok to keep it out of the fridge?
Kate Wasserman yeah that happened me too but only tiny amounts... it won't last as long out of the fridge but I just kept in my bathroom and was fine for weeks
@@FairylandCottage Oh ok! Is that just some of the oil? Does that affect the product at all (like should I try to thaw to room temp before my shower?)
Kate Wasserman I think it is the oil coming off the coconut. Mad eh! Yes you can thaw it before showering... maybe just on a hair wash day take it out of the shower the night before!
I love your life.
Que Sarah Sarah a simple life is a happy life. ❤️
It doesn’t leave your hair oily?
Cristal Hernandez not at all. Although I don't spray heavy on my roots. This is for the ends and the hair. But there is not enough oil in it, to make it oily.
Putting oil on your hair does not make it oily...You just have to find the right type of oil for your hair. Your hair type/health, will determine how much to use.
only on midway to ends for me. no oil midway and up.

Ah! Never mind, found it
can i use castor oil instead of the rosemary?
i'm eager to try this. i can't see the recipe in the description box.
its there.... I have copy and pasted it for you..
Recipe:
1 cup of coconut
2 cups boiling water
leave overnight
strain through a muslin cloth
add 3 drops per 100 mils of liquid. I added 15 drops
Keep in brown glass bottle
Keep in fridge for 1-2 weeks
Please your video can be a very good ASMR video 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Wouldn't it be easier/cheaper to use strained canned coconut milk?
T. Ruth T haha yeah cheaper and easier but not the lowest waste! X
