But its a really nice recipe nonetheless. ❤❤❤❤❤ im curious if the pH of the essential oil would be enough to the curve the bar? Im thinking citric or ascorbic. Or the shae butter conditioner. ❤❤❤❤❤

I haven't made soap in years but would like to pick it up again, starting with this recipe. However I would like to tweak it a bit and use Rosemary oil for its promising hair regrowth potential. My husband has a receding hairline and asked if there was a shampoo that could help him and I've decided to make it myself since hair products are so toxic. He is going through cancer treatment and I don't want him to continue using the minoxidil (he's been using it for years, he's not quite as passionate about natural products as I am). Anyway I'm not sure how much to use or how to adjust the coconut oil and olive oil (I want to keep the castor oil as that is good for hair as well). I realize this will probably take some trial and error before I get it right but I was hoping that you could give me your thoughts so I could have a starting off point? There is no option for Rosemary Oil on SoapCalc and I don't know where to start.

Is that step necessary in a hair care routine? Thank you in advance.

You’re welcome! The vinegar rinse is to reset the ph of your hair. It helps to smooth hair and boost shine. You can technically skip it and your hair would be clean, but you’ll have much nicer results with the rinse. The amount you need depends on your hair type and water, but I recommend starting with 1/4 cup vinegar in a pint of water, and adjusting as needed. 😊

Thanks! Great question. If she is okay with soap made with coconut and olive oils, chances are this will be fine. They are probably referring to using olive oil and coconut oil on the skin directly, instead of the saponified version in a soap or shampoo bar that is washed off. Otherwise, you could try substituting the coconut and olive oil for avocado or another oil she does well with. It will change the properties of the bar a bit, but I am guessing it would work.

If I wanted to omit olive oil can I just substitute it with extra 5 oz of castor & 5 oz coconut oil to make up the difference?

Question when making all your natural DIYs like this one and bath bombs and tallow soaps is it ok to use my regular kitchen stuff ? I’ve heard some soap makers say not to mix it but I’m assuming it’s cuz they are using fragrances and other not natural chemicals. Wanted your thoughts on it

Good question! Since I use all natural ingredients, I think it's safe. I do have separate equipment for the items I make and sell, but otherwise I do use my kitchen equipment as well :)

But can you add fragrance oil say from brammbleberry as opposed to essential oil and would eucalyptus essential oil be too rad

You use fragrance oil, I don't because they're not natural. I prefer essential oils. I think eucalyptus oil would be very nice!

I just made a batch and when I went to cut the bars they just crumbled. I didn’t have enough coconut oil so substituted avocado oil but didn’t make up for the missing coconut oil, could that be why it is dry? I have very thick oily hair and any product with coconut oil tends to leave my hair heavy, so thought it would be ok… any suggestions what happened?

Hi again! Was wondering if you ever tried using chicken fat instead of some of the other plant fats, to soften the bar. Apparently, chicken fat is really good for that, and is also conditioning - but I've never tried and a bit scared to do so....haha

That's an interesting idea! I haven't ever had a large enough quantity of chicken fat to use in his way, so I haven't tried it. I am betting it would work well!

Can I use jojoba oil instead of castor?
@Laura-lh6sm
Жыл бұрын
Hi, this isn’t my channel but I see you haven’t gotten an answer and I can help: you can substitute any oil you want (technically jojoba oil is not an oil, but I digress), BUT you MUST calculate again your lye. Basically every oil has different properties, some are very cleansing, some are not, some are good to produce bubbles, some not, and so on and so forth. Soapcalc is a good place to start, or any soap calculator out there where you can enter your ingredients and it’ll help you calculate what else you need, how much, and it’ll tell you the properties of your finished bar.

What is the ph of your shampoo bar right after making it vs the ph after 4 weeks? The ph on my shampoo bar was very high (14) after I finished blending it. Will the ph drop as time goes by?

Yes! As curing happens over the 4-6 weeks, the ph drops. I haven't measured it, but in my research and experience I know this happens.

@@shelly5596 no it won't work. As soap/ shampoo. Soapnut is not a lye so it won't have the chemical reaction to make soap/ shampoo but you can always try what you want. That's the beauty of making your own.😄
