Homemade Natural Hair Care ‘Essentials’ – all you need – Healthy, Vegan, Eco-friendly

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!
