I have been told so many times that African black soap shampoo does not need a preservative because of the alkaline. It won’t allow anything to grow in it. mold etc. cant live it. However Listening to this, it’s been to be safe than sorry. Plus there are natural preservatives we can use. Thank you for being so Informative. I love watching and learning from your videos
I'm litteraly sharing your videos to all my friends. We cannot hold for ourself all that golden information. We need to spread and share it as much as possible !
You are so beautiful! I've been looking for a channel like this for so long!! thank you so much I subscribed off the first video I watched. I love the videos you have, but I would also love to see a video about your natural hair care regimen. I've been trying to figure out how often I should wash my hair and different ways to keep it moisturized. You're curls are so pretty and your hair looks so healthy. I need some tips and I would love to have the hair products I use to be completely natural.
Wow thank you so much my lovely! I know how difficult it can be to get a haircare regime that actually works for you - especially if you're interested in using natural products so I'm glad that my channel might be of some help. I haven't done a full regimen yet - but I do have a video showing you how I apply my DIY hair growth spray & flaxseed-aloe hair gel in my wash routine: th-cam.com/video/yVxwu6f2UBo/w-d-xo.html I'll definitely be making more natural hair tutorials in the future too! Thanks for watching 😊💚
i thank God i just fond your page. Content is amazing .Been searching for a natural shampoo procedure and i found it My dreadlocks are going to be happy.
Hi Elise, would you able to put this black soap shampoo in the formulation section of your website? It would be so helpful because I want to add other ingredients and having it all in grams would be great. Thanks in advance.
This is the only properly informative video I’ve seen on this! Love it! will deffo try. thank you, you seem like you know exactly what you’re talking about :) subbed
Aww thank you so much Lea! Haha yeah there's so much information out there but I was hoping that highlighting the main components you need to look out for would help. I'm glad you like it! 😊
Hi, thank you for the recipe! I am a bit confused about pH balancing soap - soap is alkaline and mixing it with acids would only cancel out the saponifying properties of soap? Or is that the goal? What would be the cleaning agent in that case?
Is 5.5 too acidic for the shampoo? I ended up having to add more apple cider vinegar to adjust the ph is that pretty normal? Thanks so much I love your channel
Wait, I thought black soap couldn't be pH balanced because making a soap (which is alkaline by definition) acidic remove the soap properties and just turns it into a non cleansing fatty acid. Can you show a video of you actually using this shampoo to show that it works?
How did you learn all of this? Question two lol... I want to make for my kids how can I make it coloured safely? Food colouring? Natural colouring? 3..where do I buy all the products to go in the shampoo?
Aw it's my pleasure! Not yet, but now that you mention it... I'll definitely put that on the list! lol. Thanks for the support hun, I'm so glad you liked the video 😊💚
Thanking you In advance I'm looking forward to the greatestness this will bring for my clients! U have made available EVERYTHING lol that I've told my clients is good for their hair I a bottle❤
Hi! I love the 2ay you do your videos and the way you explain everything, I love love love that! I have tried this recepy but my a Hair turned extremally oily. I basically pores the mix onto my scalp from a quite big container. Do you think that was the issue? I also used not peppermint but another essential oil instead.
Unfortunately I had the same issue. I have fine straight hair and the water in my region is quite hard. The result was oily hair that stuck together. The classical result of soap in combination with hard water, eventhough I have used more apple cider vinegar than proposed . 😕 Is there a way of solving the problem? I am thankful for any helpful advice here. 💐
Thank you. Not sure if I'm doing it right but I poured lots apple cider vinegar in my shampoo mix and the color barely change. I poured to where there wasn't anymore suds! 😂.
I get my African black soap from Baraka Shea and my shea butter as well. Their products are amazing. Check them out when you have a chance. You're skin is beautiful btw! We need a skincare routine ASAP! Excellent video!
Great recipe, can't wait to try it as my current shampoo seems to dry out my scalp. Would be helpful if you said how many grams of soap you used for your soap dilute? Because the concentration of your dilute effects the amount of apple cider vinegar doesn't it?
Love it! 🙌🏼 🔥 If I make small batches and store it in the fridge, would it work to skip the preservative? Planning to try a variation of this recipe :) Thanks 🌸
Love the intro😄. Love everything about you, your hair especially. I have a 4c hair and despite how much I've tried to get a curl pattern, it just wouldn't budge. Any suggestions?
Love this recipe and all the natural goodness in it! I was thinking about the castor oil and jojoba oil added in...I am Italian with thick somewhat on the drier side hair but I'm still wondering if those oils would be too much for me? What do you think? Should I leave them out or put smaller amounts of them or replace them with something else?
Can we melt black soap with dove soap for body wash? I’m seeing all these girls from showing how to mix with whitening powders, so I decided to came here and check if you have any video, you r the only TH-cam I trust in creams,butters, soaps and oils making
I'm been trying the no shampoo method on and off this year and my hair is forever greasy, I'm thinking of trying holistic methods for hair and body. I'm from the U.K so il look for these products.
Very useful video,the way u explain s so kind n adorable,. So beautifully explained. I have doubt, pls suggest that how much preservative can be added for 6months shelf life, for 1year shelf life n for 18months shelf life. Thank u in advance..
Watch out and enriched this soap with rose water and rich oils if not you get early grey hair my mum warn me but I said in my mind this village woman does not know what she is talking about because black soap is trending on youtube but now I am having grey hair when I stop washing my hair with it my hair went back black but I used it like 3 times again and my front grey hair is back.
I looooove your channel!!!! I’m just starting my own natural care line and you’ve been a God sent!! Thank you! Could I use infused rosemary water to soak the African black soap? What thickening agent could I use?
I loved this video and especially that the recipe is ph balanced for your hair. Is there a substitute for jojoba oil...I am allergic to it. Also I watched one of your videos for making lotion...is the lotion ph balanced for the skin?
Hi Elise, Thanks for the detailed video. I'll like to ask if its possible you explain how to calculate the amount of preservative to use in the shampoo as the calculation you did wasn't so clear to me!
Elise, I would like a creamier consistency. I have some BTMS 50. If I use that, how much should I add? Also, for a thicker density, do you suggest using Guar or Xanthan gum. If so, how much? Thank you!
Hi, thank you for this video :-). I do a hot oil treatment before I wash my hair and the shampoo doesn't lather up properly to wash my hair. Can you please advise on what I need to do to make it lather more? I am guessing I need to put more black soap, but is that right? Thank you :-)
So happy I found your channel Elise you’re doing an amazing job😍 do you have a link where we can purchase leucidal liquid sf in the UK please ( the one on your website is in the US) also can I substitute the aloe Vera juice with fresh aloe Vera extract (from the leaf) ? Thank you so much 😊
Hi can I use dr Woods raw black soap for the black soap? It is in liquid form. Thanks for your wonderful video. I just discovered it today and feel so inspired!
Elise...are you self taught or did you take a course online or ? You're very well informed! I'm assuming you have a garden that you get some of your botanicals herbs from etc?
It's not necessary in such a liquidy formula. You would use emulsifiers in cream or gel based formulas. With a shampoo, just shake it up and your good to go.
A Sulfate Free, Chemical Free, Paraben Free, Problematic Free... ALL NATURAL SHAMPOO 😘💚
How can I make it thicker?
Your hair is beautiful. Do you use your own shampoo?
QUESTION: Can this be used weekly? I.e is it drying/stripping?😕
@@KinkyChickNoLye did you try it? Does it foam?
Would an emulsifying wax change the viscosity? Or would I still need to use xantham gum to thicken it?
I AM SO HAPPY I FOUND YOU ELISE!!!!!!! You seem legit AF, gorgeous and you just got "it"!!!! New sub!!! Love and Light to You and Yours!!!!!!!!
Aww thank you so much my lovely! Haha as a fellow Elyse you know we're legit! 😂😉

There is a liquid form of African Black Soap already. Perhaps that could be used instead to eliminate the need for added water and preservatives.
Thanks u r a great teacher🎉🎉🎉
Wow thank you so much!!🙏🏽
Aww of course! Hope it helps 😊
I'm been trying the no shampoo method on and off this year and my hair is forever greasy, I'm thinking of trying holistic methods for hair and body. I'm from the U.K so il look for these products.

Could I use infused rosemary water to soak the African black soap? What thickening agent could I use?
How is your hair line going?
Thank you so much!❤
Any way to thicken it so that it’s not watery?
I loved this video and especially that the recipe is ph balanced for your hair. Is there a substitute for jojoba oil...I am allergic to it. Also I watched one of your videos for making lotion...is the lotion ph balanced for the skin?
this is a very good video ❤❤I have a question...what should I use to thicken it up?
Hi Elise,
Thanks for the detailed video.
I'll like to ask if its possible you explain how to calculate the amount of preservative to use in the shampoo as the calculation you did wasn't so clear to me!
Elise, I would like a creamier consistency. I have some BTMS 50. If I use that, how much should I add? Also, for a thicker density, do you suggest using Guar or Xanthan gum. If so, how much? Thank you!
Can you make a "My hair care routine" Because your curls are defined and I need to know how to get my hair just like yours!😆
I need to try this.!! THANK YOU.! So are the oils the preservative.? Or was it something else.? Also could I just put it in the fridge so it’ll last.?
Thanks Elise ,I just subscribed. Hope to start my own channel soon.
Hi can you make a video showing a thicker version off this shampoo?
What kind of aloe vera juice do I get???? Please help
Hi, thank you for this video :-). I do a hot oil treatment before I wash my hair and the shampoo doesn't lather up properly to wash my hair. Can you please advise on what I need to do to make it lather more? I am guessing I need to put more black soap, but is that right? Thank you :-)
So happy I found your channel Elise you’re doing an amazing job😍 do you have a link where we can purchase leucidal liquid sf in the UK please ( the one on your website is in the US) also can I substitute the aloe Vera juice with fresh aloe Vera extract (from the leaf) ? Thank you so much 😊
Love it!
Will adding xanthan gum affect the PH?
I love your videos 💚
Hi can I use dr Woods raw black soap for the black soap? It is in liquid form. Thanks for your wonderful video. I just discovered it today and feel so inspired!
Hi! What would you suggest to lower black soap oh for a facial cleanser?
Elise...are you self taught or did you take a course online or ? You're very well informed! I'm assuming you have a garden that you get some of your botanicals herbs from etc?
Can we get a black soap shampoo with an emulsifier 🙏🙏❤️❤️
I made a diy version with just aloe vera juice, grated black soap, and a little olive oil. Do I still need a preservative?
It left my hair so oily I had to wash it with normal shampoo. I'm sorry, but I think there's too much oil in the recipe
Really nice ..I would like to try it..What are the names of the preservatives you used ..I dont see it sorry???
can you put this in a mold to make shampoo bars instead of bottles?
You should sell your own products I would buy.
I have very fine hair that’s been chemically treated. What PH do you think I should shoot for?
Love your personality 😍❣️ and videos 😊🤗🤗
You're always so sweet! Thanks my lovely 💚💚
Pls tell more shampoo recipes..
Funciona este champú con algún otro jabón de hidróxido de sodio?
THANKS
At WholeElisie, please how did you curl your hair?
No emulsifier to keep the oil and liquid from separating?
It's not necessary in such a liquidy formula. You would use emulsifiers in cream or gel based formulas. With a shampoo, just shake it up and your good to go.
Thanks so much
Hi Elise! Can i add in coconut milk to this? And use castile soap instead of the black soap? If so, how much amount? Thanks in advance!
Thanks for sharing do you have to use a persertive?
