- 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
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
Has anyone else noticed that "Ela Gale" spelled backwards is "Ela Gale"?
My mind literally just exploded..😂

Lawton C I'm scared now
Hahaha awesome
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
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.
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!
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
Check out the USA one of the best products from Natures Brands Natural and Organic Hair care products and thousands of other amazing products as well.
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.
My hair has improved since doing Argan Rain Shampoo. Breakage has almost stopped and the overall health of my hair has greatly improved. I am very happy with my purchase and will be purchasing some more when I run out!
'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!
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 ❤️
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 have started using the organic Avalon shampoo and surprisingly it works better than any other mainstream shampoo and my hair is so much better♥
great video 😊 your voice is so calming 😌
When you mixed the cocoa and corn starch together it went into a yin and yang picture! So cool ❤️
I truly appreciate the simplicity and honesty to your videos. You seem so transparent.
Where is your sweater from? I am living for it!😍💙
+Mesa Ware I must know too!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for you for haircare tips
I prefer to use avocado blended with greek yogurt very fine as hair mask once a week and twice/3 times in a month I use lukewarm oliveoil to my hair. Thats how I maintain my hair.😊
Who else got up grabbed there shampoo bottle and watched this video?
You were my and maybe still my fav RUclipsr for natural products but you disappeared from my feed. I hope life is going well for you... Hello from Australia.
Thank you ela , you are really having a positive effect on the world and you are such an inspiration ❤️
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!
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.
can you make some hair tutorial videos? heatless natural hair styles? i love your hair
Is the bottle that you use for shampoo a cholula hot sauce bottle because thats genius! Im gonna try the recipe!
such a great video! thank you !
for hair I use natural hair soap :D made only from natural oils ( coconut oil, castor oil, essential oils) and my hair and scalp feel great! And because I have oily scalp I can wash my hair how often I want because this natural hair soap doesn't damage my hair. It is great to be on natural!
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.
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!😁
I've been using organic care for years now. It's so cheap and feels so much better than commercial shampoo and conditioner like Pantene and garnier. Plus it's vegan and a much better quality!
Youre absolutely amazing!! One of my favorite youtubers hands down!!!
Thanks for making this, I was just getting frustrated about not being able to find chemical free shampoo and came across your video literally the next day.
Tried the shampoo, ACV rinse and hair oil. They're amazing Ela. Thank you so much for the recipes.
I felt like I was watching a documentary!! Always love your videos :)
This was so helpful to me and came at the best time. I've been transitioning to vegan and my hair has been breaking a falling out like crazy. I guess it's a combination of losing the animal fats in my diet and also the drastic change in weather. Any tips or advice would be awesome
NZ has a zero waste brand called Ethique. All solid soap bars. Great option for people whom may not want to make their own products.
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 love your videos Ela-thank you so much for sharing your natural way of life
I use baking soda and lemon for shampoo and coconut oil for conditioner :)
Where is your jumper from Ela i am so in love with it
Wow! A million thanks 🙏🏾 .
I'm on a natural HBA journey. I'm making healthy shampoo and conditioner, underarm deodorant for personal use.
That propylene glycol--I just saw it being carried at the beauty supply store. Yukky... so glad I didn't fall for it. Not for my health.✌🏾🙏🏾💞
I love making my own personal and household products. Sometimes, I make a lovely rosemary hair rinse. Great for your hair and your whole place smells like wonderful rosemary:)))
I saw your sink drain and I was like 'I need that drain'. I love it because it remindes me of my previous home wich I loved way more than my current one.
Hey beautiful thank you for all the amazing & informative information. I just wanted to let you know that Vitamin E is an antioxidant, unfortunately it is not a preservative, the fridge or freezer will work perfect good thinking :)
I love your incorporation of education and DIY, it really shows the purpose of the product being made in an ethical standpoint (: you should have more exposer to the world and you definitely deserve more viewers/ subscribers!
Great video! 💖 I noticed the ends of your hair are bleached, did you find a more natural way to do this? I would love to be able to lighten my hair (which is the same colour and texture as yours 🙂) without harmful chemicals - hope you continue to make more videos, they are so inspiring 😀
Yes i believe she had a video on it
+belle scam ah ok I just did a search and she mentioned that it's bleached at the ends 😅
Please do not use hydrogen peroxide or lemon juice, I've done both before in the past and they both do more harm than good!!! I have STRONG hair and I noticed a HUGEEEE difference for before and afters, and it was NOT worth it!
If you don't want to go to a salon (although I'm positive that there are vegan and cruelty-free salons or stylists out there) you could use Manic Panic which is vegan and works super well!
You can use honey :) make a mask with honey and distilled water then leave it overnight! Distilled water will let the honey produces a small amount of hydrogen peroxid and honey contains a lot of nutrients who gonna moisturize and take care of your hair. You can do this once a week and reproduce it until you get satisfied with your hair color.
+Eatmybrain honey isn't vegan...
Was looking for zero waste recipe, found you channel. You represent and fight for all I do as well. Subscribed immediately!!
I just started doing the baking soda and vinegar thing and it's working so well so far!
,AWESOME VIDEO!!! I wanted to thank you for all of your hard work you have been doing on RUclips!!!! THANK YOU!!!
you should do a video on dandruff shampoos! i will have to look one up! thank you for the inspiration. your vids always make me more concious of the environment and thats something i feel passionate about. we dont think of the way the products we use harm the environment once they are washed down the drain. i love your videos and can tell yoi put all into them. thanks!
I use shea butter as a leave in cream for moisture and after I use argan oil to seal in the moisture and give some shine
I still come back to watch your videos. I miss seeing you.
Also you had a gift video that had a hair friz gel with aloe but I can't find it anymore. Anyway, I hope you are well. ❤️💚💛🙏🏻
Great video will definitely try! Love your jumper too
One of my favorite youtube videos of all times!!
Hi Ela, I know you're not making videos anymore, and I so wish you were because you're such a gentle soul, but I know you have to do what's best for you, and I wish you every happiness. In any case I have a question maybe you or one of your subscribers could answer. I'm new to going vegan, minimalism, and creating less waste. So, I'm learning. I'm wondering about the containers your supplies come in when making your own products. They're sort of like the plastic the shampoo and conditioner come in. So, what do you do about those? Recycle? Thank you so much. Blessings ❤
I love your videos. Thank you. I use coconut oil and lavender as a moisturizer for both body and hair. I love your recipes.
I just discovered your channel and I love it so far! I have transitioned to more natural hair care and skin care products and am excited to try some of these. Also, your voice is very calming. I feel like you could talk me to sleep lol.
Thank you! I am very happy that FAINALLY someone is talking about this thing!! and you are 100% right about all what you just said ♡♡♡♡ thank you again you are amazing♡♡♡
this videos was super educational, thanks!! :) I didn't even know about some chemicals (maybe because they aren't allowed in my country bc I never saw them there). Don't forget about silicons, mineral oil and quats who are super toxic for the environment and have an occlusive effect on your scalp!
You put a lot of essential oils in your products, essential oils have a lot of benefits for us but I'm not sure if this amount is safe because they go trough the skin until the veins. It can be toxic to have a certain amount of them in the blood system.
Story time.... I am blonde and used turmeric in my dry shampoo to blend it into my hair and the next morning I showed up to school and was told by 12 people that my scalp was yellow! Haha. Did not come out for 2 washes. Use with caution!
Love these recipes. I'm looking for some better hair care! Thank you!
Wow!!! First hair video I’ve commented on, this was very informative and easy to watch!! Thanks so much! Sharing as I watch!! 🌺🌻🌱💕
why have i not found your channel sooner! Love at first video! Thank you lots for the vital info homegirl you saving lives if not making them last longer!
Thank you for sharing this information. This is so helpful. After searching for natural products for years and deliberating about prices. In have finally decided to try your products. I will keep you posted on the outcomes. 🙏
Yes please! Do a brand list! I already scrutinize ingredients lists but I dont know everything XD
And just wondering, and anyone can answer, but I'm allergic to Lavender (and a few other essential oils) , is there a replacement I can use or should I just not put it in in the first place?
I think you can use any essential oil you're comfortable with, if you're not reacting to it. Just make sure to check which are safe to use on your body, I'm not sure if they're all safe.
Happy I just found your channel! May Jesus continue to bless you and your family
it’s so crazy that these ingredients can be sold and bought legally!!
Oh my goodness!!! This is amazing, thank you so much!!!!! Your videos have always been my favorite!!!!
thank you so much for making all of these homemade recipes for beauty products.. this video is so true and your recipes are so easy for anyone to understand.
Love love love your videos!! Thank you so much for all the diy recipes. I'm definitely not getting anymore store bought products.
Thank u so much for sharing! I will never use shampoo or conditioner again!
I totally agree with you. Because I have my own business and am registered hopefully you'll be buying my natural body Products off shelves one day and of course if I use any of your recipes I'll have on the bottle or container Founded by Ela Gale :)
Completely unrelated but I'm IN LOVE with your sweater! Where did you get it?!?
Just subscribed! I’m going to binge watch like all your videos now!
Such lot of interesting healthy information packed into this video. Nicely presented too! X
The bottles you use to store your homemade products are so cute! Where can I find some like them?
This makes me so, so happy. I was just going to Google these DIYs, and now I don't have to ^_^ THANK YOU
I love your bathroom wall!!
that would be great to have a video about good products with out all the chemicals. i actually do have some problems. but i still have some product left of products. and i heard sometimes its good to change one product at a time so your body can get used to it. and if the body has a reaction to something then one can know which it is. instead of changing all at once.
I’ll be looking forward to the list of good commercial products... thanks!
I would be really interested in some store-bought alternatives for hair care! :) Some of the ingredients you use are really difficult to find where I live, but they might have the alternative products! :)
Really like your videos, educational without being preachy!
would love to see a makeup look with all your natural diy products
We need to get our suppliers to make better packaging, hemp plastics are coming to the market or reuse the plastic jars the supplies come in., it is good some of the ingredients are in glass. I do the same as making my own products for self care, thanks.
Excellent video!! so well versed, so well explained. I truly appreciate your videos and the effort and care you put into them.
Heya! Came across your channel while searching for NZ vegans and i just wanted to say HI- i vlog too and i love your videos!
You aré a wonderful inspiration! I'm starting to make my own products and I LOVE It. I wanted to ask you how do you dye your hair. I wanna change my style but it's so hard to find a vegan saloon in South America.
Another great video. Definitely trying these. Still working on my dolphin jewelry too. More than half way there.
Plastic bags are against my religion LOL no but seriously I think plastic bags should be illegal I think plastic in general should be illegal it's disgusting to look around and see all the plastic water bottles and just all the waist it makes my soul cry to see how we've just completely trashed God's Kingdom.
I just want to say You're Beautiful and it's so nice to see someone else who cares about the world around them and the Earth that we're going to leave behind for our great-great-grandchildren I'd like it to still be here for them and for them not to be buried up to their eyeballs in the trash that we've left behind thank you for caring......xoxo
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.
I find it funny that I literally manifested you about 3 weeks ago. I was wishing to find someone on youtube who does natural things and gives holistic advice but in a very feminine way with relaxing videos and then your little face popped up in my feed like 3 weeks later! HAHA!
You are absolutely amazing, I love your natural videos and tips, they are so helpful and I learn new things each time : )
Are you a fan of Sukin? It's an all natural Australian cosmetics company that also focuses on being affordable.
I love J.R. Liggett's shampoo bars, they are made of oils only
Love your knowledge, you have won me over with your peace and love xx
Would you be able to do a Brandless product review?
Hardly can wait to try! Thanks for all these ideas!
This is amazinggg
I can't wait to try these ! Thanks for sharing the truth !! Keep it up - great video ;)
Uhm I really love your videos but most of them are not available in other countries or sometimes are really expensive, can u use even cheaper and affordable products? Thank you
And btw I am planning to make youtube videos diy/beauty related.. but we're pretty poor so I'm probably gonna use cheap products 😂 can someone support me? Maybe I'll start making when I reach 100-500 subs 😂 dream big 😁
Ela thank you very inspirational for a nature woman like me who lives a natural organic lifestyle that strive to keep anything I use echo friendly and vegan friendly
