Teach Soap

Look up the Invigorating Shampoo Bar recipe.

Not sure what you mean about "shampoo bar base". BB has liquid bases, but this is a bar

yes I saw that one, but I'm not a fan of palm oil, is there anything I could use instead of palm oil (exept of lard and tallow) I mean, any other oils? and what about addind vodka? lol
I read in the commetns that someone asked the same question, and she answered that you could use coconut oil instead, but coconut oil is already in the recipe, so I don't get it..I can't increase the amount of coconut couse it'll be too drying, so that's the kind of stuff that confuses me

BTW - I just washed my hair with Genny's recipe, and I have to say, my hair does look more volumized and cleaner than with the other batches I made, but it feels a little weird -dryish...although I didn't rinse with ACV nor did I put any conditioner on afterward...I'll definently do that next time

I suggest you go & research the different qualities of oils & what they bring to a bar of soap. There have been a few great links posted just this week

Adding alcohol to CP soap (the raw batter) will make it seize, you don't want this either!

Some hair types are just not suited to CP soap. Personally I will give it another go at some stage but with my hair type, (fine, curly & frizzy) I always had to follow with an ACV rinse. This was using some extremely popular shampoo bars (I tried half a dozen!)

There are plenty of reputable blogs/tutorials out there that are palm-free. How about you have a look at the Soap Queen's blog? She has several great palm-free recipes. This will allow you to see what suitable substitutions are

I do HP btw When I type into Google "shampoo bar recipes" or something like that, I swear ALL the links from page 1-7 are purple LOL ! I clicked on them all
But I'll check out Soap queen, but as far as I have seen, she only has soap bars, maybe one or two shampoo bars

I really don't wanna use palm oil couse I'm against ruining the jungles (I'm weird I know lol) and animal products are out of the question, sooo I'll just keep looking. I was even wondering about adding some natural liquid shampoo my mom bought me in an Indian shop. Maybe adding it at trace and see what happens

I just want something that I can say "hell yeah" to

I havent tried it but I saw what looked like and awsome shampoo bar on soapqueens web site and I think I saw soapmakeing101 had one on youtube if you want to check those out. Edentia Farms (so sorry if I spelled it wrong) has a video on youtube about makeing shampoo bars as well they are all slightly diffrent but might be worth a try to make a small batch of yours and each of those to see if your hair likes one or the other better.
I am hopeing shampoo bars work for me , as many many store bought shampoos make my scalp itchy and scabby for reasons unknown to me.

I agree..I was just curious, can you harden regular liquid shampoo? I just though of that, hardening it would make it last so much longer

ah, too bad. that would've been nice

Have you tried washing your hair with one of your regular bars of soap? I don't bother with shampoo bars because my regular soap does a great job. But, my husband has to use store-bought shampoo on his hair because my handmade soap and shampoo bars make his hair feel like straw.

I think that my hair, too, would feel like straw if I only used a regular bar :O

Listen to this - I went to my local grocery store and bought come apple cider vinegar, and washed my hair again with the bar I made (Genny's recipe), used 6-7 tbl spoons of acv and water as rinse, left it to sit about a minute, rinsed out and my hair is oily....how the hell is it oily? isn't acv used to take the oilyness out? omg I'm going to kill myself

am I using too much avc? too little?

I have a question if its ok to ask here. Do you use the same superfat % as in a body bar say 7 % or do you use more or less ? THanks

could I ask something without sounding really stupid? How much is 3:1 ? I mean, I really don't know, how much acv and how much water?
see yesterday when I washed without any acv or conditioner, my hair felt dry and weird, but today with acv- oily and all spaghetti like
