These little butters are not just perfect for your own hair and skin care needs.....but they also make great gifts! Perfect for Christmas!

I hope you enjoy making these yourself! Here's a natural oil guide that I posted in my previous hair butter video!

Apparently the big THREE oils that penetrate the hair shaft are: Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Coconut Oil and Avocado Oil.........however (defending my lack of knowledge here I have also attached a brief description of the benefits of other oils)

Argan Oil (great for all types) - High levels of Vitamin E. It's a natural antioxidant. It gently smoothes the hair shaft. Softens the shaft from within (so it DOES penetrate......so confusing!). Rich in fatty acids Omega-3 & 6. Great for fly-away unmanageable hair. Referred to as "liquid-gold".

Jojoba Oil (great for all types)- It is similar to the skin and hairs natural sebum. Promotes hair growth. Can help to cure and prevent dandruff. Acts as a great moisturizer.

Grapeseed Oil (perfect for fine hair) - High in Vitamin E and Lanolic acid. Very light yet moisturizing.

Castor Oil (perfect for coarse/thicker hair) - Rich in Vitamin E. Prevents thinning and hair loss. Acts as a humectant (attracts moisture into the hair from the atmosphere). Has antifungal properties.

Sweet Almond Oil (great for fine textures) - Acts as a great sealant. Smoothes hair cuticles. Boosts shine.

Rose Oil (best for wavy hair) - Very light oil. Strengthens hair at the root. Helps to add shine.

* This butter should have a 1 year shelf-life at room temperature. You can keep it in the fridge to really help seal the cuticles when you apply.

Hi everybody today, I thought I'd do an update of that DIY winter hair butter that I made last year, mainly because the filming was so bad. So, first of all, you can need a pan on a medium to low heat and then you're gon na need some shea butter. These are all just rough measurements. This is some coconut oil. Then this is some avocado oil that I'm just pouring in maybe about a tablespoon full of all of the oils and then some sweet almond oil again another tablespoon about a tablespoon of argan oil. This stuff is quite expensive, so I don't want to use too much of it. These are all oils of my choice by the way you can put in whatever ones you feel would be best for your hair. Just give it a stir to make sure they all kind of melt together, so I'm just gon na add in my essential oils that is lavender essential oil 20 drops because it's so nourishing for your herring or scalp, and then I've got some fragrance oil. This one is vanilla bean now because they're full of chemicals - I don't put in as much I only put in about five to ten drops of the fragrance oil and then about five drops of peppermint oil, even though it is an essential natural oil. It isn't a bit of a stringent, so it could irritate your scalp, and this is just some black orchid fragrance oil, which is a blend of orchid, jasmine and lavender. I think now for the updated version I'm gon na take some glycerin and I'm gon na drop in two to three drops of glycerin. Now glycerin isn't water-soluble and neither are the rest of the ingredients I'm going to put in. So don't worry if they separate in the pan. This is some aloe vera gel I'm taking one teaspoon and I'm putting that in as well. Now take the pan off the heat, because you don't want to start cooking the other video gel in all the oils, and this is panthenol. This is completely optional, its victim in b5, very, very good for your hair. You don't have to put this in my supplier sold it I'll, put a link down to where I get all my supplies from one half to one, a teaspoon and just stir that all together. As I said, the two sets of ingredients, the oils and the water thingies are going to be separated. So don't worry about that if the aloe vera and the panthan and the glycerin sinks to the bottom just put it all in their little container and then stick it in the fridge or freezer. Now you want to take it out after a little while before it hardens and give it a stir. So if you stir it you're actually making the two sets of ingredients kind of come together, so the oils will blend with the glycerin and the panthenol and yellow vera gel can take out the container once every 10 20 minutes and just keep stirring it. So then, when it hardens, it will look like this and it will have a cream consistency now. The aim of the game here is to make sure that you don't have any gunk at the bottom and that's what it looks like you have to make sure I was all blended by stirring continuously in intervals. So how this is. This is how I'm going to apply it, I'm going to section my hair into four sections. As you know, if you watch me now in the autumn, I apply this very very lightly. It smells amazing by the way, it's not like a mid humbug, a vanilla and mint sweet that we have here, but just apply it very lightly, because in autumn my hair doesn't need the heavy coating of oils. I just apply a tiny bit just to kind of nourish the hair, and then I go over with quite a lot of styling products just to give my hair moisture, but it doesn't get too weighed down and then in the winter, I'll apply more of this butter Because my hair kind of needs, it needs that thick layer of oil and hydration in winter so just take a little bit and then build it up as you go. You do not want to lay the stuff too heavily because it will make your hair down and make it greasy. So my styling product of choice is the desire lip essentials. Curling custard honey. I think that's the name of it. I'M going to apply this quite liberally because I want some nice defined curls with my hair dries, I'm just gon na rake it through for some nice definition, as you can see, as I go applying it very very lightly, applying a bit more to the drier areas, Especially the ends, but you will really feel the difference with this butter. It is so nourishing it is absolutely perfect for the winter. This is my winter hair care in the winter. I just used the DIY butter. I might use a styling product, but I went to hair care is so boring. You'Ve, probably seen in my DIY routines before yeah. Another handy trick with this butter is to apply a bit to the baby hairs at the front, to kind of lay them down a little bit and now I'm just gon na pick the root for some added volume, but this really helps your hair against the cold Dry weather outside and it gets all the central heating. I can only get about four or five days out of a washing Co with this DIY butter. Thank you so much for watching everyone. I hope you try it yourself at home, all the lovely oils you may have in your kitchen. Thank you so much for watching and please subscribe.
