It also has to do with hair texture, too Afro texture hair types can tolerate heavy oils. It's in our hair routines for years. That's why hair companies formulate the oil with sophisticated cones to make it lighter for other hair types. I have Afro-textured hair and I prefer the pure carrier oils.

I trust Marie of the Humblebee and me so much! She is the BEST! Her formulations have never let me down. I am making this today!!!!

i've been making my own hair oil formula for a few years now, it was mostly for nourishing and "feeding" the hair, BUT for styling, it didn't really give me the most desirable results, that was until earlier this year when i started adding one new ingredient: Shea Butter! which gave me hair cream instead of hair oil, which is actually better for curly hair such as mine, it won't weight down the hair, i have a "jewfro" and ever since i started adding shea butter to the formula, the volume and thickness i had when i was younger came back! not to mention, it won't leave an "oil puddle" on my pillow/gym equipment/shower floor anymore!

Love your videos!!! They are so informative and helpful!!! ❤

I'm 47. I grew up with VO5 Hot hair oil. I'm only 2 seconds into your video but I wanted to say that. I have made my own hot hair oil and I loved it. Now I can't wait to watch your video. Although my favorite thing to put in my hair is it just a nice body butter.

Thanks so much for sharing this...I have tried rich oil only combos but have exactly the same result as you-limp, greasy, stringy hair so I had given up on making my own for me. (Although my daughter's hair loves these rich combos). I can't wait now to try this new formulation and see how I go. I love an excuse to try out a new formulation!

I love the wittiness you get into your video 😂😂😂😂 love love love your videos to bits ❤❤❤❤❤

[SaturdaySoul]

I love silicones in my hair

Marie, you are GLOWING! ❤

You've done amazing job here! 🎉❤ I replaced NaturaTEC Plantsil (PR gift but I run out) succesfully with isoamyl laurate and a blend of coco-caprylate and isoamyl laurate (my favourite, 20 % & 80 % blend in second formulation). I haven't decided the scent yet. I enjoy Plantsil in haircare and I'm happy that Alexmo Cosmetics carries it...perhaps I'll give it a go later! Also, I modified your first formulation and used IPM and fractionated coconut oil along with clean cotton FO & bulgarian lavender EO. My slightly porous type 2 hair enjoys it. It seems to work well for my friend's type 3 frizzy hair. However I'd love to try something a bit lighter as well so if anyone can suggest me isododecane or cyclomethicone in EU, I'd highly appreciate it! Thanks so much for these formulations.

May I just say that I am absolutely delighted to see your videos! I know you needed to step away for awhile, but I sure am glad to see you again!❤❤❤

[joimonae]

Thank you so much I think the first base would be great for like a hair perfume or a sprayable perfume oil

[Bhav]

Thank u marie.. we really appreciate all the knowledge u share with us..ive been trying to Dupe store bought hair oil "serums" for a while and discovered Hemisqualene but I've been trying it out at 30 to 40% ... never realisedit could be as high as 80-90% !!!

[CherHanusiak]

I'm so happy to have found you, I've just started on the venture of making my own products. I'm curious how you determine the ratios of each product to use?

[ccxp]

i really excited to make a lot of your recipes but i think i will need to finish my stash of skin and hair care first!
curious question, do you wash the bottles you use? and if you do how do you wash it so u can reuse it?
thank you!!! so happy i discover your channel!

[TC-mfcq]

I was thinking about making my own hair oil yesterday and didn't know where to start. Thank you!

[honybee]

Thanks for beautiful recipe 👍😊 be happy always 🎉

Silicone in my hair will not go with henna color. Love your video!

Most of my friends really like a “dry oil” made of about 50% cyclo and 50% FCO—then I scent it to their preference (which, depending on the amount, can be just a few drops to 1%)

[susanitagomez]

OMG you are so cute LOL the snowwhite comparison was hilarious 😂
