 hey guys welcome back to my channel as you guys can see I have something very new to share with you I have actually just cut my hair so it was actually really long before I've been growing it out for two two long years and I finally decided to get cut the other day because all the ends of it were starting to become more split and dead kind of so it was all kind of I guess ratty at the bottom I just needed to have a nice good cut so I cut a lot of it off and it's so healthy now I love it I am growing it out again though that is something that I really want to do but I've decided not to be so lazy with cutting my hair so I'm going to cut it every six months to ensure that the ends don't become dead again because I thought my my logic behind it was that if I don't cut my hair it'll just keep getting longer and longer but apparently fun fact I didn't know this the ends will just keep breaking off so at the bottom you'll just end up counting keeping the same length because as it ends split they break off it keeps it shorter and shorter and just makes it look more dead and not well cared for so that is why I cut my hair and I'm going to continue cutting my hair but just like trimming it so it still grows long but healthy at the bottom so that is anyway my little update just to share with you all probably will like don't really ask but thanks anyway you are welcome so we're gonna get straight into today's video you guys will know what it's about I am making a healing balm so basically a healing cream for scars for sores for any sort of I guess small little abrasion or injury that you get on your skin to help heal that up nice and fast you guys can look refer to my previous video on the healing calendula cream that works amazingly well I use it so much and I find it works amazing even for like sore joints and things because it's an anti inflammatory I find it's really helpful for that but today I thought I'd share with you a different healing cream specifically targeting things like scars and like and things like that so I'm terrible I constantly pop pimples I'm just like as soon as I find one I like honing or not like just pop up and it's really just not good for my skin I will get away with it for a while but I've decided I'm just not going to do it anymore it causes scars and it's just a terrible habit to be in so I'm just like trying to sort of stop that habit but I've found if you guys can see very flattering angle if you guys can see I get um I have little scars here they've been there for a while through like for some time I was just getting all these pimples in this one spot and me being me not being able to resist I would pop them and it's really just a terrible habit to get into but it's just left a few marks so I'm going to use this healing cream to heal those up I have been putting my calendula cream on it but I thought I'd try something different just to see if it works a little faster to see how it goes anywho back to what I was talking about so I'm making this healing cream just to help heal that up a little bit more this also has calendula oil in it so it has that healing herb in it as well but it has a few other ingredients as well but it's really fantastic for scars the blog I got it off was live simply it's a great blog I will link it in the description below for you guys as well as the recipe that I will be sharing today so when I found it she was saying that she uses it specifically for scars because when she cooks a lot she gets scars and she said it helps so much with that so enough of my talking let's get started into making this recipe so what we're going to do first is make a little double broiler a broiler or a boiler a boiler I keep doing that um so what we're going to do first is make a double boiler on our stove top with a bowl and I just put it with a saucepan and I'm going to add in the coconut oil and the olive oil and then I put my bowl on top and that's my double broiler boiler I think I'm doing that so then add in the coconut oil and then the olive oil so you just want to let the coconut oil melt and then you're going to mix it together with a spoon and then once that's done we're going to add in our herbs I also keep my stove just on very low heat you don't need to be on high just keep it on low heat because you want all the oils to infuse together as we start adding in the other ingredients so this has finished melting you can start to hear it bubbling underneath so I'm just going to turn that down a little bit more and I'm just going to mix this through so that the coconut oil and the olive oil are well combined and now if you have dried herbs you're going to add in dried calendula flowers and dried lavender flowers and you're going to let that infuse for 30 minutes but because I already have the calendula oil as is and I just have my lavender essential oil I'm just going to use that so I'm just going to pour in my calendula oil and just let that kind of infuse for five minutes doesn't need to be as long as it would if it was dried herbs so this is a third of a cup of calendula oil and I'm just going to stir that together just quickly again and then I'm just going to let that sit for five minutes but if you had the herbs in there you'd let it sit for 30 minutes I just quickly took mine off the heat just to let it actually like infuse off heat because I thought that heating it might actually take some of the properties of the healing oils away so I'm just going to let it infuse for five minutes off heat and then I'm going to pull it back on to add all the other ingredients so it's up to you guys can choose to leave it on I'm just going to leave it off because it's already quite warm so it will still infuse while the heat's still in the bottom of the pan so it's been the five minutes so I'm going to add in my other ingredients now if you used dried herbs you're going to actually take it off heat strain it out through just a fine mesh sieve and then pull it back into the double boiler and then add the rest of the ingredients but we don't need to do that because I just use oils today so I'm going to add in the beeswax herbs and I'm just going to stir that until they're melted and when you put it back on heat if you guys have used a strainer to strain out the herbs you need to keep it on low heat so the whole time we're doing this keep the temperature to a low heat all righty so as you can see the beeswax pellets are almost completely melted and I'm just going to add in the honey now and I'm going to stir that for a minute this is also an optional ingredient so you don't actually have to use the honey I just find that it comes with many healing properties so I'm going to use it but if you guys don't want to use honey that's totally fine as well let's mix that around you basically just want it to be fully dissolved before you add in the other ingredients that'll do so now we're going to take it off heat and add in the essential oils and because essential oils are quite strong I'm just going to add in 20 drops of lavender I'm going to add in the tea chew oil if you'd use the dried lavender herbs you would just add in five drops of lavender oil all ready so I'm just going to stir that through and now I'm going to add it into my glass jars so you can either add it into one large glass jar or two small glass jars I'm going to add into a few different ones because I have a few jars of all shapes and sizes so I'll be adding mine into one like this just a tiny little jar and then the other one will be this nice big one here just because it's so small I'm going to funnel it in as you can see wax just almost hardens right away so it's kind of a little messy when you're pouring it in so that's one glass and we'll add the rest into a big one so once you've poured the mixture into your glass jars they'll begin to immediately solidify so if you've used honey like me you're going to stir it every two minutes just to prevent it from settling at the bottom of the jar it will take around 12 to 15 minutes to completely solidify and then it will keep at room temperature for about 12 months which is like yes you have a year's worth of cream to use on any cuts abrasions and things like that and then we have it our cream and you put it on oh it smells amazing like that lavender and it's really so moisturizing super soothing on your skin so I'm just going to store these on my little bathroom bench and I can use them whenever I need to heal up my little scars and things on my skin put some on now you only need a tiny bit too because it's quite oily so you need to smother your skin with it because it will take a while to soak in so it's setting your skin heals it right on up today's huge shout out goes to mostly Nadia thank you so much for commenting on my all your hair shampoo recipes video I'm so glad you liked it thank you everyone for
