i made a cp shampoo bar then shredded 1 bar (3.25oz) once i pulled them from the molds. i added sci and sala noodles and pressed the new (hybrid) bar in a hand press mold. got 3.5 additional bars and the bubbles are crazy. this cuts the cost substantially. this is my new go to shampoo bar recipe. im so happy i decided to experiment.
Did you check your ph level in the cp bar when you added these surfactants? I made some of these and they stripped my hair. I checked the ph and it was off.
that's funny you say that because I actually use green clean when I want a more clarifying wash, I then use my other more recent bars for my "everyday" wash (ie every week LOL) Thanks so much for your comment 🤗
Heeeyyy Ms. Tammi!! Good Morning. Thanks for another great video. They always feel like we're sitting having coffee or wine as friends while being creative 🥰
Thanks for watchin! I purchased these recipes so I don't feel comfortable writing the ingredients, for both of these recipes. But I do go over each of them while I am making them! Hope that helps some!!
Tammy, so cool to see a video on shampoo bars. There really aren't that many videos out there on shampoo bars. You'll probably get quite a few views, as people are curious about them and want to know if they really work. I find once people buy them they never go back to liquid shampoo. They are very handy to have, especially if you travel a lot. I offer mine in tins or packaging.. people who travel like the tins. I always tell people to let them dry out a bit before putting them back in the tins, and they seem to last. Anyway glad to relax after a whole day of making coffee face scrub and oatmeal facial scrub. It's 11:30 at night and I just got to bed to watch you. I gotta nother long day tomorrow, lol! Jill
Jill! thank you for your comments! I did at one time offer the travel tin, but got away from that as I was having trouble with my inventory on my website (it was an optional upgrade). I am thinking of either having its own order page to add or to just not give the option and put every one in a tin... also my shampoo bar sizes may be changing, so I will have to source other tins first...no I'm thinking lol - I have already sold these and have been trying to find time to make more Your scrubs sounds amazing!! I love the idea of both coffee and oatmeal...I bet they sell well for you! I want to make lip scrubs but have never been happy with mine in the past, gonna try Soy & Shea's recipe to see if that works for what I am wanting...I hope you have a great Thanksgiving!!💖
Hi Evelyn, if I'm not mistaken, Tammi said her husband bought the press at Harbor Freight in a previous video. It's a tool store. My husband says they have fair prices.
Hi Evelyn - yes Shade is correct, Harbor Freight. It's a beast, very heavy...but saves me when I am making a lot of bath bombs or what not! I don't think I could do without it.
Most of our professional salons are looking for sulphate free products. It doesn’t strip color nor penetrate the hair dresser’s skin that is constantly working with them. Can a bar be made with out it ?
HI, so nice to meet you. I had purhcased LisaLise's book and had not made anything from it yet so you inspired me. Tonight I made the African Rose. It seemed very wet in comparison to what I am use to. It is in the freezer now so I am thinking it is going to take quite awhile to dry. Are yours this wet? I am sure it is the vinegar.
HI Tamara! Nice to meet you too! I do find a lot of the recipes to be wetter - I have pretty much given up trying to "press" them and have gone to using molds only. But I have made that recipe, I'm trying to remember how wet it was but I do know that it turned nice and hard for me.
@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique That is good to know. It was still extremely soft this morning so I am not sure it is going to get hard enough or take too long. I will have to do some research and make some adjustments. Thank you.
@@tamaraanderson4792 I hope they turn out - I did grind down the SCI noodles on mine like I normally do, that my have helped mine get good and hard - I have found it can take up to a week for them to dry completely so don't get discouraged just yet!
@@BeechHillSoap I know they are - but you got this!!! Just don't give up on them if you struggle at first, they are very much worth the effort! Let me know how it goes for you!😍
Hey, thank you for sharing. I am new to DIYing. I just have a few questions if you don’t t mind answering.1. How would you test the pH of these? 2. How do you know what surfactants to use?
Hi Ornella! To test the pH of these you would need to melt a bit in some distilled water - about 10% shampoo bar to 90% distilled water. Once is it completely dissolved you can then test the pH. As for surfactants, that is a longer conversation. You want usually 2 or 3 as most surfactants don't do everything you want in a shampoo bar. Then you want to see what you are going for - are you looking for mild cleaning (sulfate free) or are you going for a deep clean or clarifying (sulfate). Those are some the of considerations. Then do you want liquid or dry is another. Lastly you probably want to look at the charge (anionic, cationic). It's a lot - I would recommend starting with a recipe and then tweak it from there. Good Luck (and I never mind the questions!💖)
Hi Sami, the SCI is a very gentle sulfate free surfactant with a low pH. The SCS is also pretty gently but it is a sulfate (so gives a deeper clean) and has a higher pH. They work lovely together!😊
Hey Tammy, thoroughly enjoy your videos, I’ve watched them all! I’m dabbling into shampoo bars, but having a hard time finding suppliers for the ingredients. Can you please share where you shop for the shampoo bar supplies? ~Jenn
Hi Jenn ~ Thanks for watching 🤗! Sure! Mostly I get my ingredients from either Lotion Crafter, or Make Your Own. Some of the herbs and whatnot I will get off of Amazon. Let me know if you are looking for something in particular and I will see if I can help!
Hi Sabrina! - they are certainly expensive, and I feel costly with the testing they require - at least for me LOL. I feel the same way about candles, that is why I don't sell those.
The Zesty Cedarwood is my take on the Conditioning recipe / the Green Clean is the same Green Clean in the book I will say that the 2 ladies that wrote the book I bought had a bit of a split, so the Green Clean is not in the new book at all. There are only about half the recipes in the new book as there was in the book I bought. If you don't have Green Clean in your book you will know you bought the newer version.🙄
Wow! Love your videos! I’ve made shampoo bars but haven’t found a recipe for fine hair. The recipes I’ve used have called for cetearyl alcohol or BTMS 50 and weigh my baby fine hair down. Is there a particular recipe in the book for fine hair? Just wondering if it would be worth it for me to buy the book. Thanks and please keep these videos coming, I always look forward to them! 💗
Hi Sue! Oh thank you so much for your sweet comments - I'm so pleased you are enjoying them! 💖💖💖 - I am looking in the ebook for you. There are actually several recipes that do not have either cetearyl alcohol, or BTMS, but they do contain a butter. There are also a couple with SCI only with no butters at all. Those might work for you. This was the most expensive ebook I bought last year, so certainly was an investment. Also the testing was pretty expensive...but I will say that after I got the hang of them, I now can pretty much take a recipe, make my changes and get it them to work for me with no real issues. Feel free to ask me questions if you get the book! We can share notes!😊
Hi Susan!! I think my sulfate free bars would be great for dyed hair - at this time I do not ship internationally...only because it scares me to death! LOL - I need to figure it out though, if you are interested in letting me practice on you let me know 😂😂😂
@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique what a shame you don’t ship internationally 😢 I’ve been wanting to try them for ages and I don’t usually buy internationally ( at the moment) but I wanted to try yours. If, one day, you do ship to Australia, I will definitely buy from you. 😊
I don't give my recipe but the link to the book is in the description. Warning - when I bought the ebook it had double the formulas than it does now - and currently they do not have any sulfate free recipes.
Hey Anita! I'm not sure what fortified shampoo is...I've never heard of that before - but, I'm not sure - it sounds like a claim I wouldn't want to make...what do you think?
These both look great! And the packaging too, I love how it's simple & natural looking.
thanks!!! 😀
I love it how real you are. Thank you.
aww, thank you Eliana! That is very sweet of you to say!🤗
You are delightful to watch! Thank you and Lisa for starting that #, hopefully it'll help my channel and it introduced me to yours!

@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique thanks. if u decide to try it, please show us. love ur video's.
Did you check your ph level in the cp bar when you added these surfactants? I made some of these and they stripped my hair. I checked the ph and it was off.
@@MaureenAWilton my ph was normal range. no issue using the bar.
I loved this video! I’m trying to get my mom and sister into DIY soaps. I’m definitely subscribing. And you now have a new customer! Thank you 😊
Awesome! Thank you so much! that is very kind of you to say!🤗
Green clean would be great for my scalp and detoxing my hair. Then a more conditioning one for most other days. 🥰
that's funny you say that because I actually use green clean when I want a more clarifying wash, I then use my other more recent bars for my "everyday" wash (ie every week LOL) Thanks so much for your comment 🤗

what is the vinegar percentage at the all mixing? you can say approximately count :)
Can you please put where you got the presser? Thank you 😊

Just found your video. Were you on The Dish Forum all those years ago? Your name sounds familiar to me.
Hi! Nope, that wasn't me 😁
Most of our professional salons are looking for sulphate free products. It doesn’t strip color nor penetrate the hair dresser’s skin that is constantly working with them. Can a bar be made with out it ?
It sure can! I actually have 2 on my website that are sulfate free. I know a lot of curly haired girls try to stay away from sulfates too. 💕

Hi Tammy! I just bought the DIY Shampoo bar recipe. I’m am wondering what size Kraft window bags you are using here?
Hi Lisa! I believe these were the 4x6 heat seal compostable bags - I got them from Clear Bags
Good luck with your shampoo bars!!!
@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique thanks for your reply Tammy😘 I will try. Shampoo bars are scary🤣

I have been looking at doing a shampoo bar but nervous about it. It seems so expensive to do to trials and errors.
Hi Sabrina! - they are certainly expensive, and I feel costly with the testing they require - at least for me LOL. I feel the same way about candles, that is why I don't sell those.

May I know the formula
Recipe?
Hello Patrice, I'm sorry, I paid for this recipe so am unable to share it. This video is of my process of making them - Thank you for watching!
Plz mention measurements??
please, can you make the Arabic translation,. thanks
honestly I have tried to do different language translations and just can't figure out how to make it work - I am still working on it though.
@@WalnutCreekBathBoutique It is from the settings of the TH-cam channel and the translation will be automatic🌺
Can I get the recipe?
I don't give my recipe but the link to the book is in the description. Warning - when I bought the ebook it had double the formulas than it does now - and currently they do not have any sulfate free recipes.
You should look into fortified shampoo for fast hair growth.
Hey Anita! I'm not sure what fortified shampoo is...I've never heard of that before - but, I'm not sure - it sounds like a claim I wouldn't want to make...what do you think?
you do not need preservative with her recipe
this is true, but as I changed the recipe I don't feel comfortable not adding one. To me it doesn't hurt anything to add it, and protects my products.
