Watch the video first ¼ cup of Castile soap ¼ cup of water ½ teaspoon of coconut or jojoba oil (optional if greasy hair) 15 to 20 drops of essential oils in total Replace water for coconut milk if want a creamer mixture
Thank you for posting this. I was so happy to find it. I just made mine yesterday and used it for the first time today. I really do love it. This is definitely my new shampoo now. My hair feels soft and in great shape. And it smells amazing!. I made mine with the water and jojoba oil. I doubled the recipe and added in 20 drops of Ylang Ylang EO, and 10 of Lime. Together, I LOVE the smell of my new perfume. And it worked great as well. Thank you again for this.
To reduce waste further, I replaced liquid soap with soap bar. I cut soap into small fragments and melt them into boiling water. Soap bar doesn't come with plastic bottle and it is lighter which means taking less energy to transport.
You can always measure the ph with some litmus paper (ph paper). You can find them at any major supermarket, pharmacy, or even a pet store. ph strips dont tell an exact measurement, but can give a close estimation of how acidic or basic a solution is. For down to the decimal measurement, you can get a lab ph meter but they can be expensive and constantly need recalibration and maintenance.
Very interesting, the reason I believe people have oily or dry hair is sodium Laura sulphate it is an irritant. It can either dry your scalp out or cause you to produce to much sebum. Also after reading comments there is a difference between oily hair and dirty hair. I go to the gym every day. After the gym I shower and use the water and scrub my hair and scalp to remove the sweet and dirt. I don’t use shampoo as there is no need as long as I shower straight after. I only shampoo my hair twice a week to remove, the dirt and oil that is not needed. 😃
People with oily scalps need to wash their hair often. An oily scalp is caused by over-reactive sebaceous glands on the scalp. The oil attracts dirt more easily and the sebum glands clog the hair roots and may cause excessive hair loss and dandruff. The biggest cause of an oily scalp is hormones, usually has nothing to do with products they are using. I have extremely oily hair and at 43 it has no signs of stopping, mine is hormonal, caused by PCOS. People have always tried to tell me it is caused by my daily washing but working in dermatology for 12 years, the doctors have all assured me it has nothing to do with products I am using nor washing every day. I actually develop clogged pores and sores on my scalp if I skip more than one day.
❓Question! I'm having a hard time rinsing the soap out of my hair. I have hard water. Not sure if that's the issue but I'm really struggling to get all the liquid Castile soap off of the length of my hair. I do use an apple cider vinegar rinse once I (think) I get the soap out.
Thank you so much I’ve been wanting to go to a natural shampoo and start my daughter on one once she get a little older I’ve been using the baby wash you or your sister made I can’t remember who posted it but I love that I’m putting a safe product on my baby girl
Gonna try this, i havent been able to find anything homemade yet for my hair. I have thick long hair(over 3 1/2 foot long) so ill give it a try. Thanks
I made this and used it for the first time. It was great. I am going to use it again but notice that the oil part is sitting above the water. Is that fine? As long as I stir it again before applying, it should be fine right?
A good way to add some preserving benefits you could use vitamin E oil in place or part of the coconut oil. However it's not going to store much longer than a month or two. You could always half the recipe if you don't think you'll use this amount in a month or two.
I keep mine in the fridge and i have it in an amber bottle pump. When using i take out fee hours before hair wash and have it in the warm shower this will make it warm and the oils will not be floating
Hi! Thank you for the video. I would like to try this recipe, but I have a question. Why had not you diluted the essential oils in fractionated coconut prior to adding them to the mixture?
I have a question Soap that you used to make shampoo is foaming soap which means it has chemicals like sulfates and parabens and it is not good for hair?
@@ouroilyhouse thank you for the reply,,,, I am trying to make beard shampoo and I want it to be nice and thick when it comes out instead of being watery and I want to make a 50ml or more mls.
Please help me l can't seems to make glycerin soap base after hitting the oil immediately l put my lye it doesn't stick together pls water is the issue
Laura. For some reason my hair has a weird ruff layer on it after i wash it every time i skipped the oil because i have oily hair. I only put essential oils. It feels like durty wet hair
Thanks for a great video! What's the reason for adding water? If I want it creamier, can't I just skip the water and just get the creamy consistency of the soap?
What do you store the shampoo and conditioner in after it's made? My experience with essential oils in the past has been that you can't put essential oils in plastic. It will eat it.
Hello it’s my first time with this shampoo. My hair is dry. I put some oil after, but it looks nice. Do you think is because is my first time? Or maybe put more water? When should I wash again? Thanks
Morning Laura have just made this see what you mean by training your hair it's bit heavy feeling have made dry shampoo also should I wash my hair several times a week for my hair to get use to this formu!a quicker. Have made all your products and have had great success enjoy your channel very much thank you for the face moisturiser .wondered if you could come up with cleansing water as i don't use soap on my face like a miscellar water. Also sorry lot to say with the laundry detergent the soap added is quite expensive could you by the melt and pour bar and make your own soap using essential oils to add thank you again x
Washing it more will produce more oils so I wouldn't do that. I have a few face wash recipes on here you can check out! Also, you can get the fels naptha soap bar for less than 2 dollars at wal mart.
Hi! Love your work, so glad I stumbled upon your channel. Can I use the melt & pour glycerin soap instead of Castile soap in this recipe? I thought I’d make coconut milk at home and then freeze the mixture to use as a shampoo bar. Can I get your advice please?

Do you have a update on doing this? Been thinking about making the switch!

Is still being transported long distances....

Save lard from cooking, mix with water and lye make your own bar soap😃 every little bit and helps as you implied
😂
Can’t wait to try this, thanks! It not only gets rid of chemicals but it cuts down on using plastic!
Yes that too!
I know I'm late here but incase others like me come and see this, I'm going to try it with rice water, since it's free for me instead of coconut milk.
How did it work for you? Did the rice water turn out well?
I too wish to know how it turned out
Thank you for your ebook to get started making my own safe products ..
Hi, I want to make this shampoo but I was wondering if you know the ph? Thank you
I use 10 portion of water and 1 portion of apple cider vinegar as conditioner to balance out ph

❓Question!
I'm having a hard time rinsing the soap out of my hair. I have hard water. Not sure if that's the issue but I'm really struggling to get all the liquid Castile soap off of the length of my hair. I do use an apple cider vinegar rinse once I (think) I get the soap out.
So do you only use this to wash your hair, or do you also have some sort of conditioner recipe too?
I have a conditioner recipe too! th-cam.com/video/-mtlruius5Q/w-d-xo.html
Essential Oils can be literally used for anything! Thank you for the idea
Yes they can! You're welcome!
Except eye drops.
if i wanted to use herbs with the shampoo how would you do that. I have rosemary and lavender in my garden.
Patchouli oil is also great for less hair fall out and dandruff💪🏼 🌻🌱
Thanks for the tip!
Thank you so much I’ve been wanting to go to a natural shampoo and start my daughter on one once she get a little older I’ve been using the baby wash you or your sister made I can’t remember who posted it but I love that I’m putting a safe product on my baby girl
Aww yes that is great!! I posted that a few weeks ago but she may have a similar recipe on her blog. We both make baby soap!
Gonna try this, i havent been able to find anything homemade yet for my hair. I have thick long hair(over 3 1/2 foot long) so ill give it a try. Thanks
Oh wow that is a lot of hair to wash!! It def takes time to get use to it. I noticed that the less I wash it the better.
Can I use castor oil instead of jojoba oil?
This isnt going to leave my hair feeling hard and brittle is it? I need a moisturizing shampoo. Castile soap alone does that.
It doesn't to mine. You can follow up with conditioner to add moisture. I have a recipe for that too.
What is the difference between regular coconut oil and fractionated coconut oil please? Can we use the regular coconut oil instead?
Fractioned coconut oil stays liquid, where as regular will turn solid over 76 degrees. So it is best to use FCO so it doesn't get clumpy.
My hair has been falling out for years since I was 22. And it significantly thinned. Im ready to try natural shampoos
How long can I store it using coconut milk? Should I store it in a fridge?
Hi, for how long will it stay without preservatives? or should i add few for long term usage? Will be good for oily straight hair too?
3 months
I made this and used it for the first time. It was great. I am going to use it again but notice that the oil part is sitting above the water. Is that fine? As long as I stir it again before applying, it should be fine right?
I'm so glad you like it! You can shake it before each use.
@@ouroilyhouse Thank you
@@ouroilyhouse Hello, what is the shelf life for this shampoo? My scalp is getting irritated
I aasume the castile soap is unscented?
Can you use carbonate of soda instead of Castile soap?
Or what would a shampoo need if I didn’t want the foamy consistency?
Thank you!
How long can I keep this mix for usage??
My question is, with the addition of water, will that go bad since water harbors bacteria?
Castile soap usually contains coconut oil. Do you have a substitute for Castile soap? Thank you
Is the castille soap grated from a bar or is there a such thing as liquid castille?
It is liquid castile soap. I use the unscented version, here is the link: amzn.to/2LHBZvx
Thank you for the link. I'll have to go search for it
How long does the one with coconut milk last? Because coconut milk goes bad a lot faster than shampoo.
coconut oil, not milk - you want fractionated coconut oil not the cooking kind
Dooley H yes I know the difference between FCO but she mentioned coconut milk in the end to make it more creamy.
Montserrat Elechiguerra Chávez you could store it in your refrigerator 🤷🏻♂️
@@bennyboiart7781 i could but honestly with the way my head works I would never EVER remember to take it out and back whenever needed.
can you make without the essential oils?and what would be a good preservative to use
Yes you can use the same recipe and just omit the essential oils if you wish.
A good way to add some preserving benefits you could use vitamin E oil in place or part of the coconut oil. However it's not going to store much longer than a month or two. You could always half the recipe if you don't think you'll use this amount in a month or two.
Andee T thank you 😊
If we add the coconut milk store it in room temperature or fridge please reply
Fridge for longer shelf life
i really want to go plastic free and i think this is very useful!thank you!
You’re welcome 😊
love this! I'm wondering what the shelf life of this is since it is water based?
One month
I keep mine in the fridge and i have it in an amber bottle pump. When using i take out fee hours before hair wash and have it in the warm shower this will make it warm and the oils will not be floating
@nannat4510i have heard people putting distilled water for longer shelf life.
I have mine in amber bottle as well due to the essential oils.
Thank you guys!
So I have oily hair and very fine hair. So I would not use that Castile oil?
Hi! Thank you for the video. I would like to try this recipe, but I have a question. Why had not you diluted the essential oils in fractionated coconut prior to adding them to the mixture?
You can do it that way if you prefer!
I have a question
Soap that you used to make shampoo is foaming soap which means it has chemicals like sulfates and parabens and it is not good for hair?
Castell soap is natural olive oil soap no sulfate or paraben
Natural soap lathers and foams
Doesn’t it need a preservative since it has water?
It last great for 1 month.
can i make it for commercial?
Can you make it without the water? And which water,, tap water?
I used tap water. Castile soap is very concentrated so you will want to add some water
