Well I need some input on making shampoo. I used the basic recipe, soap flakes, water and 2 different oils for scent. Well I think it may have cleaned my hair ok, but it felt horrible, wet and dry. I had to use twice as much store bought conditioner to get it to feel right. Does anybody have any ideas on this.

I've just started making mine. I use liquid castile soap, goats milk, water, and some rosemary or other herb and some essential oils. It feels really nice. Now I want to figure out how to make a conditioner. I've got natural curl that just really needs a little assistance that only conditioner seems to accomplish.

Excuse the mess & the noise, my children are making happy memories

Hi. It mentioned that Castile soap flakes was a good choice, well I can't find flakes, so I got the Castile bars and grated them myself. Would the flakes be different I wonder? How do you make yours, maybe I will try that. Hey thanks for the reply. Cudos on making your own soaps, thats great

Hello!

I've been making my own handcrafted soap for six years now and I also make my own shampoo bars with rosemary and mint. I just started making own rosemary hair rinse as well. I love it. My hair feels very clean and manageable...Hmmmm, what kind of soap "flakes" did you use?
