- 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!

How do you exist? You're too kind for this world. Thank you.
yea right❤❤❤She's angelic!!
We all miss Ela Gale she's a angle
Has anyone else noticed that "Ela Gale" spelled backwards is "Ela Gale"?
My mind literally just exploded..😂
ale elag
Lawton C I'm scared now
Hahaha awesome
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.
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.
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.
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 .
Greetings from Greece!!
Goo vegan💪🏼 im proud of you bc every single little step into veganism counts❤️👏👏
Jessica Nails thank you so much for the kind words :)
Efi Mead How are you. :) Still keeping up?
3 years later, how is it going?
Keep up what you're doing, that's great. If you need a push to stop eating animals, if you ever see any video about animal cruelty, I'm sure it will make you take the next step for life
ur voice and videos make me feel calm
+Cutie Patootie ♡♡♡
It's very soothing!
she should do asmr
+Ariela Zamora IKR! I'v said the same thing. She'd have a ton of sub's in no time.
+Ela Gale ♡ ASMR
very eloquent and educational! I thoroughly enjoyed this video. thanks so much. I think it's important for people to know the truth! I started making my own shampoo and conditioner a few months ago and I don't think I'll ever turn back!
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!
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..
Natasha Green wow very good tip, thank you. This is why I'm weary of products with essential oils in it being used by pregnant moms
Natasha Green Also don't soak in Epson Salts it soaks into your Epidermis and it can burn your kidneys. Everything in moderation.
I truly appreciate the simplicity and honesty to your videos. You seem so transparent.
Who else got up grabbed there shampoo bottle and watched this video?
Thank you ela , you are really having a positive effect on the world and you are such an inspiration ❤️
One of my favorite youtube videos of all times!!
I'm really considering going natural with all my care items to go along with my new diet. I'm enjoying your videos so much and they are definitely helping me understand everything and are bring things to light that I never knew about. Thank you ❤️
Ela, subscribing to you was the best choice I could have made for myself, my health and my future thank you so much for enlightening us on all the nasties that we were blind to all this time.
Oh my goodness!!! This is amazing, thank you so much!!!!! Your videos have always been my favorite!!!!
Thanks for helping me out on growing my hair & treating my hair to natural recipes instead of chemical hair products. Ive watched so many of your videos & they have really made a big change for my hair thanks!😁
,AWESOME VIDEO!!! I wanted to thank you for all of your hard work you have been doing on UA-cam!!!! THANK YOU!!!
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.
Youre absolutely amazing!! One of my favorite youtubers hands down!!!
I really enjoy your approach to educating your viewers on sustainable, ethic and environmentally friendly options! Really feel you should have a higher following as your advocacy is wonderful!
I'm so happy I found your channel!! Thank you so much for sharing all of this awesome information! I started beauty blogging and once I really got into researching ingredients, I have completely shifted into a mindset of trying to create my own products. Your channel is proving to be a huge resource for me. Thank you!!! Xoxoxo!
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.
Love your sweater!
When you mixed the cocoa and corn starch together it went into a yin and yang picture! So cool ❤️
I love your bathroom wall!!

'Truly Organic' is an AMAZING brand here in the US. I spent years trying to find chemical free hair care and they are the first company that I found that produces quality chemical free hair/body products for a very reasonable price. Love your homemade recipes by the way, my favorite is the mascara!
Thank you Ela! Love your hair care recipes! Looking froward to trying the shampoo. I use your dry shampoo recipe and it's brilliant! Thanks again.

This is awesome, I currently use Shea Moisture for my shampoos and conditioner and have been loving it. It was a hard transition away from the traditional brands (my hair went through an extreme oil producing phase) but now my hair loves it. Thanks for posting!
I used to use Shea Moisture brand but have since switched to Maui...even better ingredient list and works so much better on my hair!
Allyssa Lynn I love almost all of the shea moisture shampoos, conditioners, and deep conditioners my hair has truly transform since I started using them
