@@gladheart8387 it helps lower the pH but it is also a preservative. I am not sure about 'normal' soap bars but if you mean the ones you buy in the store, no because they are already blended and set. If you mean making regular soap then yes as it can be added but you want to make sure you find recipes that include citric acid.
Ps. You can use the soap after it hardens for about 24 hours, the only reason we let it sit for 4-6 weeks is to make it really hard so it lasts longer when it gets wet. So it doesn't become a mushy bar. And the only soap that takes a long time to harden is pure olive oil soaps, they usually take about 4-6 months to fully harden.
I dont mean to sound rude by no means, but this isn't shampoo bars. This is just a soap bar. I've been making soap for 7 years now and I make soap bars much like this. One thing I'd like to say is when you use lye (sodium hydroxide) in soap bars , using it on the hair can be very harsh and sometimes damage it. This soap bar will not nourish the hair the same as it will nourish the skin. Shampoo bars are not made with sodium hydroxide ever. But your soap bars look great. Another tip is don't wait 3 days to cut your soap bars. 24 hours is the usual time to cut. Anything longer than that makes the soap too hard to cut with a soap cutter. Usually looks like a cheese cutting string or guitar string.
I am so much impressed with your natural products which save us and as well as save the environment from the chemicals. Keep on sharing such useful videos and saving the earth. More power to you. With lots of love ❤️❤️ from india....
i made last year shampoo bars- for me it doesn`t work at all !!! i look like a homeless after washing my hair but for my best friend it was the BEST SHAMPOO EVER ! i have oily hair and she have curly dry hair - soo i hold to the syndet shampoo bar and it works perfect ! many says that i must wait some time for my hair to get used to the home made shampoo bars -i think i will try again to use home made shampoo bar , i have one -two shampoo bars that i made last year , i will try the same your own recipe , my recipe was almost the same like your recipe - i used lard instead of tallow and cocoa butter instead of shea ... thank you for sharing !
@@nayelli1764 correct, soap isn't for hair as the PH is too high for hair and will damage it. Shampoo Bars (made without Lye) can have a PH that is low enough.
Love your video , but please remember until the soap has fully saponified, which is at least 2-3 days it can still burn (especially the batter) and is not recommended to handle without gloves. Tx for sharing!
As soon as the soap sets up, about 24 hours. You absolutely can use it on the body. You only let the soap bars dry for 4 weeks because it makes them harder and lasts longer in the shower instead of turning into a mush pie. I've been making soap for 7 years and this is also not a shampoo bar, very harsh to use the sodium hydroxide on the scalp. Very surprised she labeled this video as shampoo bars 🙄
There’s something so gorgeous about a white bar of soap. Have you ever tried shampoo bars made with natural surfactants instead of making a bar soap? I find that lye soap has the wrong ph for my hair. It does some nasty things to it. Thank you for sharing ur Recipe. 😊♥️👍
@@limruipau depends who were talking about and how far back but, mostly plants and berries that got sudsy when they got wet. Like saponins or yuga and soap berries. Early American settlers used homemade soap, but they only bathed maybe once a month so it didn’t matter
Not sure about oils, but if you rinse your hair with a nettle infusion after wash your hair wont get greasy for 1-2 weeks. You can collect young leaves in nature or use a store bought tea bags.
I was trying to find the soap calc you use, maybe I'm missing the link. Thank you for sharing, I was thinking of substituting goat's milk for the water in the lye solution.
Thanks for sharing!❤❤ my eczema scalp love shampoo bars. My dry scalp can’t use any shampoo or solid bars even claimed very mild. After using the cold process shampoo bars the scalp is not tight. I use conditioner after using the bars. Hope that will help.
Hello! Thank you for this great video! I have a question for you! Getting into soap making but im very allergic to coconut and palm so finding a recipe is very hard! I have oily hair and was wondering if this is a good bar for my hair type?
But the PH is gonna be the same as cold process soap, which I have no problems using on my hair, but lots of people cant have a higher ph on their hair, so how can we lower the ph?
Hi, you can’t lower the ph of bar soap. But when it comes to making shampoo bars or other cleansing products that need a lower ph, natural surfactants work extremely well. I use two different surfactants in my shampoo bars. Also when you use surfactants instead of using the cp soap method any additives like EOs or extracts survive better during the “making” process. I use aloe Vera and cucumber extract and tee tree in my moisturizing shampoo bar. You can’t use these types of wonderful additives when making lye soap shampoo bars. The tea tree would be okay but the extracts would be toast with that ph level. And if you have hard water... cp soap is definitely a no no on ur hair. My favorite surfactant is Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate Powder... Copy paste info 👇😁 SCI Powder, often called baby foam, is a specialty anionic powder surfactant made from all vegetable, renewable resources, primarily coconut. It is used to impart extra mildness, good after feel, and good foaming in many personal care and cleansing products. SCI powder is an excellent foamer in hard or soft water. Naturally derived and biodegradable. A top quality gentle surfactant commonly used in acne treatments, anti aging lotions, baby shampoo, bar soap, bath oils, exfoliating scrubs, shaving cream, shower gels, and facial cleaners. You'll find so many uses for this wonderful powder surfactant. Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate is only slightly miscible in water. Some heat and blending are typically used and needed when formulating to fully incorporate and disperse this surfactant. Anyhoo, a bunch of info you probably didn’t need. Sorry... lol
Hello! Can this shampoo bar be used for the body as well? And likewise, the pure tallow soap for hair? Also, can I just use a plastic container instead of a silicone mold (will it get stuck)? Thank you so much, I’m very excited to try this :)
This is not a shampoo bar! This is a regular soap bar, the ingredient in this is sodium hydroxide and is not meant for your hair, it can damage it. This is a soap bar for the skin only.
@@Kreo678this is a bar of soap meant for the skin only, this is not meant for the scalp. It has sodium hydroxide in it and should never be used on the scalp.
It's a necessary ingredient to make all soaps. If used with caution, it can be safe. I talk more about this in a lot of my soap making blog post. If you do not want to mess with lye, you can make a melt and pour soap bar.
What melt and pour soap base do you recommend? It’s hard to find a melt and pour that doesn’t have toxic chemicals in them…and when I think I’ve found one…. it has titanium dioxide!
I have substitutes and the soap calculator needed to make any adjustments in the blog post: www.ouroilyhouse.com/cold-process-shampoo-bars-for-hair-growth/
Question: you had a little bit of lye left in the glass measuring cup..... if that happens, what do you do with it to clean it out? Just rinse it out with water or clean it out with a dry paper towel into to garbage?
I made these and have used other shampoo bars (even tallow ones) and I’ll say I LOVE the larger of these bars but found them to dry my scalp a bit. On my next round what ingredients should I add or edit to make them more moisturizing?
Castor oil in itself can be drying. If you find you need more moisture, you could try adding coconut oil or avocado oil, which are both very moisturizing. I make a makeup removing oil with the main ingredient to be castor oil, and if I don’t add moisturizing oils to my face afterword, it’s very dry.
@@marcelaabarca623unless you are adding the coconut oil after the saponification process, I would skip it. When it's turned into soap, coconut oil is VERY cleansing and drying. So I would say olive oil is a good choice, since it's really moisturizing both as oil and once turned into soap. 🙂
This is not shampoo bars, the ingredient in this bar is not meant for the hair. I'm not even sure why she labeled this video as shampoo bars because now there's people trying to make them and have no clue about these ingredients. The reason your scalp is hurting or negatively affected is because (lye) (sodium hydroxide) is not meant to be used for the scalp. Only the skin. This is a basic soap bar, don't use it in your hair.
Does the tallow smell go away after time? I have done the cleaning/rendering 2-3 times before making the soap & lotion but there’s still a smell to it (it’s 100% grass fed grass finished too we know the farmer)
What's the lye water ratio when calculating with different oils in the calculator? Would you adjust lye ratio when making bars for kids or different hair types?
no the lye ratio is only adjusted depending on lather and hardness. soapers usually use a scale of 1-10 on hardness and they use the term superfat % to decribe it. 1 out of 10 is 1% superfat and is a really hard bar that takes some effort to create a lather, 10 being 10% superfat being a very soft bar that lathers up really easily and fast. I myself make soap at 4% super fat because my recipe allows me to have a hard bar that lathers great and last around 30 showers out of one bar. I hope this helps. i messed up my first batch and made a loaf at like 15% superfats or more and it was great for washing with but only lasted like 10 showers with it.
You don’t mention what temperature to cool your lye water to. What do you recommend? In making my bar soap you are supposed to cool the lye water to at least 120 degree.
Im going to try this recipe. I love how clear and easy you made it.
Thank you!
@@ouroilyhouse in the comments I notice some said the shampoo bar is not good for the hair because the ph is over 8 and should be 5.5. Please explain.
@@sandraburnettlifestyle If you want a lower pH just add citric acid.
