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! My 55 days without waste challenge for Maui Dolphins; www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFmmnA8UWKM 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.
