  • There are lots of awesome advantages to making your own homemade products and in this video I wanted to share the wonderful and simple recipes I use as hair care 'essentials'. They all consist of natural ingredients so they don't contain any of the nasty chemicals found in a lot of mainstream hair and beauty products - anything we can do to reduce our risks of cancer and detriment to other animals is a wonderful thing!

    I will do a video sometime in the coming month on products I think are great to buy - awesome natural, sustainable, vegan, eco-friendly commercial options.
    The site I use to buy a lot of my ingredients; www.iherb.com?rcode=GOW915 - links to products are in ingredients below. My rewards code is GOW915 to save $5 on first order
    The natural hair product recipes;
    Shampoo
    - 1/4 cup liquid castile soap www.iherb.com/dr-woods-almond-...

    That's so funny.
    Today I went to the store because I needed a new conditioner. I initially wanted to buy something organic but also had an eye on the prices.
    1 bottle of 'normal' conditioner is from 4 to 6 bucks. 1 bottle of organic conditioner is from 18 to 25 bucks!!! (Yeah, I live in Switzerland)
    And now this video is in my recommendations :D
    But I find it so stupid and unfair that you have to be 'rich' to be healthy or care for the environement.

    • @theOGLC
      @theOGLC 4 роки тому +4

      It's like that over here in the U.S. too! I swear if commercial products didn't exist, the organic products would be much cheaper.

    • @Tai-chan.
      @Tai-chan. 4 роки тому +2

      I feel you. Her proportions in this are too tiny for my afro hair. Plus all the ingredients are so expensive individually, just to mix them together.

    • @juliajulia1182
      @juliajulia1182 2 роки тому +3

      You don't need conditioner. Apple cider vinegar is a great natural conditioner and is cheap. I've always used it after washing my hair with solid shampoo bars (natural ones) and it works exactly like a conditioner, you wouldn't believe it. Rinse your scalp with it then soak your hair in a bowl of apple cider vinegar diluted with water (to your liking) and it'll work. No rinse afterwards

    omg!i hope i will reach your level of awareness some day! I've already stopped drinking milk, i reduced significantly the amount of meat i eat, i try to eat chicken only 3 times per month, and in general i try to buy herbal based/eco-friendly products for my skin and hair care! I believe that as time goes by ,i will become better .

    I am honestly spellbound, I've been subscribed to and following various natural beauty channels but they all seem homemade and natural hair and body care seem so confusing and difficult, but I've spent a total of 8:15 minutes on one of your videos and I feel enlightened! Like I can finally understand the recipes, the logic behind it, everything! Thank you so much!

    @natashagreen-chillaxedprod7769 7 років тому +54

    I'm a Qualified Naturpath and Aromatherapist and thinking of a tip for you, just let people know not to use the Lavender called Lavendula Augustifolia as it's toxic to Pregnant & Breatfeeding mums, young children under 7yrs, sensitive skin, and elderly as there kidneys and blood circulation can't process this type. It's the way the Lavender is processed. Can cause miscarriage in pregnant women. I hate when I see it in the Johnson & Johnson baby calming Body lotion and bath wash - makes me cringe
    Was just a tip for you. You can read up on it so you know..

    Hi Ela, this has probably been said already, but not only do I love how your tutorials are simple and easy to follow, but also they are informative and interesting. I recently did a project on the topic of the enviornment and I used your sugar scrub tutorial to distribute to the class. Your videos have inspired me to be more mindful of the effect I have on the environment. Once again thanks for all the work that you put into each video.

    I'm absolutly blown away by how simple and effective this products are. In my country when you said your eco/bio etc people will laught at you and told that you're wasting money and it doesn't change anything for the planet anyway ;/ For about 6 mounths or even a year me and my mom we are more careful when we bought cosmetics. There are some chemicals that we disquality in our products. But I don't know about isopropyl alcohol at all..I made a dry shampoo, but right now I'm using a homemade spray for my scalp ;) After some time I noticed a positive change on my skin (I have acne). I still have it,but it's definetfly not that bad in that time in a month and the breakdowns isn't that hard like in the past. And I'm in 100% agree with you about this whole comercials and this 'need' for something we don't actually must have.
