For the Dutch people trying to make the same but having a hard time figuring out what Primrose oil in Dutch is: Teunisbloemolie :) (had to look it up, thought I'd share the knowledge)
Blij te helpen! Ik moet nog even wachten ivm een verhuizing, maar als ik de kans heb ga ik ook aan het brouwen. Is al iemand in NL succesvol geslaagd hier in? (Gewoon nieuwschierig 😄)
Yes! As an Indian girl I grew up with hair oils being imperative to self care, I’m pretty sure they talk about it in ancient aryuvedic texts haha. My grandmother who is 95 has put castor oil in her hair her entire life, leaving it in and putting it in a braid to let it really soak in, and her hair is still so long and beautiful. Having my mother put coconut oil or even sesame oil in my hair is also something I cherish so thank you for this I never thought about making a balm for hair like this, seems a lot less messy even though I will still do the treatments I grew up with.
Made this today with the scents lime and fig, absolutely wonderful! My straight, nordic type hair is joyous, we survived the harsh +2 degrees (celsius) winds outside while on a run ^^ Thank you Klaire! Also, am religiously using the fabulous facial water you showed a while ago (thyme and rosemary). Had to supplement with sage as I ran out of homegrown thyme, but worked equally well, so today I combine all three =) I have waaaay less blackheads and don't need to use skin cream/day cream at all anymore. THANK YOU For existing Klaire!!!!
It looks like it is working well! You have beautiful hair. Congratulations on your new little love bug. Take care and thank you for your sweet videos.💓
I'll definitely try this out. My hair is as flat and straight as can be so it doesn't need anything more to weight it down further, but in the winter it does suffer a lil' bit without some additional help.
Absolutely men can use it. I'm waiting for my husband to use up his hair wax gel so I can make a matte version of it for him. I'll try and do a video about that particular recipe (it's using a few extra ingredients) once I can make it.
Nice... Inspired me to do the same although we don’t have winter here... but I just love the idea. How long did this balm last for you? Did you wash you hair everyday since you mentioned you applied it everyday..?
I wash my hair once every 5 days or so. When I apply it I apply it very, VERY lightly or it all turns into an oil slick pretty quick, unless I want to do a hair treatment (which I do once every two weeks or so) and really work it into my hair from the roots to the ends, I'll do this in the morning and then wash it out that evening. I'll normally have used up the entire pot within 2-3 months.
hand creams, lip creams, general skincare. lanolin in particular is amazing because its so similar to sebum, the natural oil excreted by our skin! if youd rather just stick to haircare though then just the pure castor oil on its own is perfect for hair

Castor oil is an absolute godsend for hair. Also, where did you get such a cute jar like that?
It's amazing for skin too! I got the jar on eBay around 3 years ago. If you type bamboo lid glass jar you should be able to find it.
I'll definitely try this out. My hair is as flat and straight as can be so it doesn't need anything more to weight it down further, but in the winter it does suffer a lil' bit without some additional help.
This product does wonders for my hair😁
Did it and I am loving what it does to my hair🤪
Totally off topic. But try to combine essential oils in the smell Lavender and Rosemary. It smells AMAZING!!
Your hair is so beautiful ☺️ I wish my hair was that wavy.
This is such a nice recipe! I have super dry and wavy hair, will definitely try to make this! :)
Your voice is so soothing, just like your content. x
Thank you! :)
I cannot get over how well your working through life! All the best klaire! be safe and be kind I may try this balm is it suitable for men’s hair too?
Absolutely men can use it. I'm waiting for my husband to use up his hair wax gel so I can make a matte version of it for him. I'll try and do a video about that particular recipe (it's using a few extra ingredients) once I can make it.
Can we have the list of ingredients and where did you buy your pots and stainless melting pot?
I've just updated the blog post and added links to everything :)
Thank you
Thank you
Where do you get your little jar from? It's so cute!
eBay
Can you tell me how long you can keep this . Because I did a batch a year ago and it changed texture

@@KlairedeLysOfficial ooh ok.. thanks! 😁
Great video , thanks for sharing 💕💕xox
is this ok for color treated hair?
The only ingredients I could imagine possibly being a problem are the essential oils.
@@KlairedeLysOfficial thank you !!
😃
Please do ASMR. You will be great at it.
What else could you use these ingredient for? I don’t have a lot of these ingredients and I’d rather not buy them for this purpose only!
hand creams, lip creams, general skincare. lanolin in particular is amazing because its so similar to sebum, the natural oil excreted by our skin! if youd rather just stick to haircare though then just the pure castor oil on its own is perfect for hair
Will you be growing out your hair for another donation? 😊
No, this time I'm growing it for me. I've already donated my hair three times. This time I want to keep it.
