Teach Soap

This is going to be my first shot at shampoo, so I was hoping the wise might be able to recommend whether this recipe that I've put together needs any tweaking. I don't know what to expect from handmade shampoo but would love a nice soft lather:

Distilled water - 4 oz
BB's Natural Castile Liquid soap - 4 oz
Grapeseed oil - .5 oz
Dead Sea Salt - 1 tsp
Vitamin E caps - 3

And as for conditioner, no idea where to start! Most of the recipes I've found online use fresh ingredients like avocado or are 1-hour leave-in type things. Does anyone have an idea for the typical wait-two-minutes-and-wash-out type?

Thanks so much, everyone!

Oh, and do any of these recipes require extra preservatives (besides vitamin E)? I figure those are only required with food ingredients like gelatin, etc.

Just so you know Vit. E is not a preservative. It's an anti-oxidant. I don't make a conditioner, but have used my lotion in a pinch.

Try this link, there's a lot of information, I used her blog a lot for research when I was formulating my own hair conditioner. I now finally got my own that I really like and have been using it for almost a year.
