DIY How to Make Solid Hair CONDITIONER Bars - Full Recipe + Wrapping tips | Ellen Ruth Soap

[@jeannieroberts5845]

I made my first set of your conditioner bars around Nov 17 23 and have been using it since! I have long curly hair and am in love! It took me a while to get used to a solid bar, but its getting easier! Just have to remember to keep it wet while running it through my hair and that works best for me. But i have to tell you this! I notice a HUGE difference in the amount of hair loss during conditioning and combing!! I would have to clean my shower drain out several times a week and now, its been weeks!! (That has NEVER happened before!) And my wide tooth comb that i use would be FULL of hair in a few days so much so that i would have to cut the hair off with scissors (gross i know!) But its amazing the difference!! This is awesome!! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!! Ive been sharing the conditioner bars with my friends and family!! And they love it! I tell everyone you are my fav soap KZbinr and you are like the "Martha Stewart" of soaping (but meant in the highest of respect... not the jail stuff!) Thanks again!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

🤣 "not the jail stuff"🤣 Oh that made me belly laugh! I'm so glad you're loving the formulation❤️

[@2degucitas]

You might have been going thru a shedding phase. Hair falls out after a growing cycle.

[@Zone8-jk]

I added a few drops of rosemary EO to my shampoo and conditioner bars and it helps thicken hair and stop it from falling out, too. I use Ellen's recipes on both for my hair.

[@schoonerchef]

I am relatively new to soap making, and find the whole process fascinating. I am also very please with the atmosphere of the soaping community as a group. the willingness of you, and so many other soap makers to share your skills, and to give credit to others is heartwarming.

[@DuVerneyPhoto]

Hi Ellen Ruth Soap, I am a retired guy who got started making cold process soap last year, I heard about condition bars, check out several sites, but yours is the best, I brought the ingredients and going to make my first batch today. Thank you again so much and love your work. Daniel D

[@gwenp3450]

I was converted to shampoo and conditioner bars about 2 years ago and can't imagine going back to commercial products. My hair is so much happier! I actually only condition about every 2-3 shampoos as the bar conditioner is that effective. I've been considering trying to make my own and now I just might give it a try. Thanks for sharing!

[@babycakes8434]

What brand do you normally use? They are so expensive that I don't want to do trial and error and waste my money to research. I would rather buy one that works. I am also allergic to regular soap so I am not sure if that wouldn't make me itchy as well🤔🤕

[@MountainBreeze-r6k]

Love your vedios and recipes. But could you please put it in percentage. Thank you so much. You are a beautiful person ❤️

[@natashagreen5385]

I’ve been making a 3 in 1 Shampoo, Conditioner & Treatment Bars for years using Melt & Pour SLES/SLS/Detergent free Soap Base. I add Sweet Almond oil or jojoba oil for a added treatment.

[@cmoore1415]

I have the same scale as you do & if you weigh something in ounces and need grams etc., you can click the "mode" button to change to grams and it will convert it for you. Just thought Id mention that. It was a huge help for me. *S*

Ellen, I purchased my first shampoo bar from you a month ago and LOVED it. I just wish you carried conditioner bars for sale on your website as well. You have a new client for life. I found you through the shout out from Earthglow candles. I hope you will carry more shampoo and conditioner bars for purchase soon. Your soaps are amazing as well.

[@jpreston628]

I just have to say that you have the best presentation when making soaps and things. You are the Martha Stewart of soap-making!! I can watch your videos all day long. thank you for sharing your skills. I'm a fan and appreciate you sharing your talents!

Thanks so much 😊🥰

[@waynegross2113]

These are just gorgeous bars! I love shampoo and conditioner bars. They last sooo much longer than bottled shampoos & conditioners. I use BTMS-50 in my deep conditioning bars and BTMS-25 IN my light to regular shampoo & conditioner bars. I love all kinds of butters in my bars, eslecially Murumuru Butter. It does make a slightly darker bar, but it is an excellent butter for hair. Also a bit of Cupuacu Butter is nice. Thanks for sharing! Jill Gross

[@EllenRuthSoap]

What a great idea to use those exotic butters, love that❣️

[@vitatayz8529]

Hi, what do you do to make the bars firm

[@vitatayz8529]

How do you make the bars firm so they don’t melt or stay soft? Which product works for that within the ingredients.

I just washed my hair and had to tell you, I am still loving this conditioner bar. I have been making it for about a year now. I also make Aloe Shampoo Bar from Bramble Berry, formulated for hair, no lye. Using your conditioner bar with the Aloe Shampoo Bar works great on my thick, curly, colored hair. The shampoo bar lathers so well and takes very little effort to get a great lather. Your conditioner bar and the shampoo bar I make last forever. Thanks so much for this recipe.❤❤❤

Ellen could you make a Syndopour conditioner bar video using Stephenson’s “conditioning”Syndopour base.

[@juanitacrocker2474]

Very interesting to watch. The only thing I dont like about those round ones is that they are so slippery when they're wet that they're hard to hang on to and i keep dropping the bar in the shower and hard to keep ahold of. But I've used the conditioner bars my sister makes and they do work good and help after using the shampoo bar. As when i use the shampoo var it makes my hair feel like dull and weird, so i need the conditioner bars to make my hair softer and more manageable. I want to get some again one of these days. Thanks for the good video. 😊

Hi! I love the strawberry shampoo bars you made…. It’s grown up strawberry shampoo scent! Excited to try the conditioning bars! I’m crossing fingers for strawberry scent!

[@__-Victory-__]

I made this today, but I used different scents. Lady V and Mango. It was wonderful and ur recipe was easy to follow and left my hair manageable and glossy! It also rinsed out very well like you said. I needed to use a larger double boiler though!!! I also used the gm converter. Thank you very much. Our granddaughter will be helping me make your creamy shampoo tomorrow. I’ll leave a message on that video after we’re finished. Again thank you, wonderful recipe!

[@cliviascreations]

I love solid shampoo and conditioner bars. Use BTMS 50 on mines since my hair is very dry and curly, thank you Ellen

[@monikaykataria3838]

Hi, can u suggest me If using btms50 then How much ratio of btms50 needed? Thank u in advance.

[@cliviascreations]

@@monikaykataria3838 for hair care you will use 1-8 % of your recipe. If the recipe calls for 2 gr of BTMS 25 and you are using BTMS 50, then you will use only 1 gr. I hope this makes sense, thank you

[@GenesisCespedes]

Hi, I’m about to make this recipe but also wanted to use BTMS 50 so instead of 13oz I would be using 6.5?

[@cliviascreations]

@@GenesisCespedes basically the number stands for the moisturizer concentration, so 50 has double amount compared to the 25. If the recipe calls for 25 and you have the 50, use half and viceversa, if the recipe calls for 50 and you just have the BTMS 25 , use double. In my experience it’s not exactly all the times so make small batch and test it to see how do you like it. I prefer the 50 because of our hair texture. Thank you

[@GenesisCespedes]

Hi Ellen, I absolutely LOVE this recipe and it feels wonderful on my thin, fine hair. The last 2 bars I poured were soft in the middle and never completely set in the mold. Has this happened to you? Any tips or trick to avoid this?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I've had a batch take several days to completey harden, but they do eventually firm up...

[@TonicMercantile]

Looking forward to trying this recipe! Do you know if these would set and harden ok if poured into a 2" pvc pipe then cutting, or do you recommend using molds? I use the PVC pipe method for all of my shampoo bars - saves so much time and effort!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I think you could do a column mold with this👍

[@mariehuana5683]

thank you for the packaging idea, but I would like to ask, why do you use stearic acid and btms together? stearic acid is an anionic and negatively charged emulsifier, and btms is a cationic and positively charged emulsifier. they are not compatible together. you should use only non-ionic emuls. with cationic together. for example cetearyl alc, or maybe more cetyl alc instead of stearic acid, what is the reason that you use all these together....?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Those are all good points, I like this formula because of the conditioning properites of the ingredients.

[@pamlambert7181]

Sounds wonderful and easy to make. Love it!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

[@nccrchurchunusual]

Could I pour this in a wooden soap mold and cut them like regular soap bars after it cools /sets? Thx. Love your videos.

That's a good question... I think it might work, but haven't tried it so I'm not sure. If you did, I'd let them sit for several days to fully harden before trying to unmold and cut...

I went by your recipe, except i used btms-50, and olive instead of Avocado oil. But when i put optiphen in it become foamy on top as i stirred it. I waited until it was about 137 degrees bc my optiphen bottle said < 140 degrees. I still poured them in molds and i will see how it turns out tomorrow. Just wondering if i did something wrong that would make it foamy, that you could think of? Thank you! I love all your vids! And i have learned so much from you!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I'm not sure what's going on?? But sometimes these take a few days to completely set up for unmolding. So if they're too soft, just give it more time👍

[@jeannieroberts5845]

Its before i pour them and they got pretty hard. Its when i pour in the optiphen at the end, it made it a little foamy, so when i poured my 1st 3 or 4 the foam poured out with them. But all the others looked normal. So not sure. Maybe it was my optiphen. I purchased off amazon.

[@cathymorris6865]

I have made this recipe and I love it ! Thanks so much for sharing Ellen. I tried to double the recipe but it did not firm up well at all. There is a lot of liquid in the mix after it has been out of the refrigerator for a while. Can you make any suggestion on how to save it ? I want to add some more hard butter but I don't want to waste it if it ultimately won't help. Thanks for any advise you can offer.

You could try to remelt and add a bit more hard butter, just be sure to melt on low heat and not over heat the batter.

This combo of ingredients does firm up quickly when cooled, it's okay to gently warm it a bit for a more fluid pour.
