Thanks, I just wanted to say about the water that we have well water and it is naturally recycled here. We are on a self sustainable system so it's not wasting water. I understand most people are hooked up to the city water but I let it run at the end because I was doing a PH test and holding the camera at the same time and my hands were all soapy as I was fumbling around. I also wanted you guys to be able to see all those bubbles.

THANK YOU!!! For your time and kindness of showing folks how to make their very own, Natural shampoo bars. I am a Soap Maker and appreciate the kindness and patience of others posting their videos. You are better than I am as I could NOT take some of the comments and nonsense that some people post as I would lash out. You have made a beautiful, hair loving bar. Yes, cost effective as they last long and are not full of the chemical nasties that most people are so numb to in their daily routine of commercial products. People need to educate themselves on the crap they are slathering themselves in for vain sake.

[@MammaCass]

spot on lol

[@alabastermyrrh9082]

[@bjflinn1]

And some need to educate themselves on what is healthy for hair vs what is healthy for skin. Believe it or not there is a wealth of knowledge out there from cosmetic chemists that explain very easily why the pH of soap is NOT healthy for hair.

[@justmiavida3460]

Beautiful lather! Beautiful shampoo! Thank you for this ❤️Happy Soaping 🧼

[@konfidentlothevirgo]

Thank you thank you thank you. I've been searching for a great hair shampoo bar base recipe and this is exactly what I was looking for to add to my product line. You are soo informative and knowledgeable with your videos.I can't say thank you enough!

[@SilverHallows]

Bonnie, I just LOVE these tutorial videos that you're doing. I'm too nervous to actually create soap using lye (sticking with m&p), but I love watching the actual creation process from start to finish.

[@ltcartwright1976]

This was really good. I liked how you explained the properties of each oil and how they lather. Very clear instructions. Thank you.

[@MoultrieBookkeeping]

This video and recipe couldn't have come at a better time. I made some shampoo soap a while back that works great for my husband's short thin hair. For my long and thick hair, it was horrendous. It left my hair a little greasy feeling and was difficult to rinse out even with a peppermint vinegar and water rinse. Thanks so much, Bonnie! I'm sure your recipe will fare better for me!

[@wendypowers146]

Loved your video and thanks for the recipe! I tested my soap ph and it was an 8. I’m new to soap making and I absolutely love it!

[@arturomorales2942]

Dear, I really appreciate your work and the science with which you make this recipe, congratulations and I will do it soon. Thank you because you are of great help and inspiration to many

[@Nativebeauti50]

Thank you Bonnie, I love your videos and soap recipes. I've learned so much from you and am inspired to do more. Just wanted to say thanks.

[@MarciasMeadow]

Hello Bonnie!! I received my order from you today. The Shampoo Bar for oily hair looks and smells amazing; I could smell the essential oils the moment I opened the package. The Rose Hydrosol is lovely; I spritzed a light mist on my face for the healing properties of rose and it is beautiful and light. Thank you for the sample of Yum Yum Dum Dum Lollipop Soap. A 3.8 ounce of sample soap is quite generous. And my son will absolutely love the frog. What a pleasure!! You made my day.

[@honeybee4375]

Thanks for being so generous with your recipe. So excited to try this out myself. I have a consistent dandruff that can't seem to go away despite having tried all the commercial anti-dandruff brands, so I'm going natural this time and hoping this would work for me. 🤗🤗

[@angelaregan5258]

hi bonnie thank you for all your videos just wanted to say how gentle and calming your voice is you should do professional voice overs - I should listen myself to sleep you're brilliant thank you.

[@ThePorrustyFox]

I made this and my hair loves it.

[@chimomma52]

Your videos are just great. You have a wonderful voice for doing this, and I thank you so much for sharing your recipes and knowledge about soap making.. I have made some HP soap, and bought from other shops, then I tried shampoo bars, and for about a year now, have used nothing else, but... store bought conditioner on my super fine, very curly hair. Now, I just have to try your shampoo bars, and make my own. This is just so much fun, and is so incredibly addictive. I love it!!!!

[@missartist123]

YES! FINALLY a shampoo that lathers great and is sulfate free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much! I really want to make this now!

[@stephaniedavis9404]

I just wanted to say that you did an awesome job with the video, it was vary easy to follow along & I could see & hear everything. Thanks !

[@georgeannepanos8132]

That was so interesting! Takes up much less space too!

[@treadsoftly8031]

Bonnie I love your videos. Your really good at explaining how to make soap and soap products, Thanks so much...

[@blasttorres]

Thank you so much for sharing I can't wait to try this recipe :)

[@pattypoehls6346]

I ordered the ingredients and expect them soon, so will finally be trying out your intriguing shampoo! :) I'll need a month to make and cure batch...so will get back to you with my results. I'm actually excited to do this one. I make my own recipes in recent months, but this one sounds appealing...thanks again!

[@martapereira7767]

Patty Poehls did you tried?

[@BLINGqueen777]

I really appreciated this video, I'm a hairdresser and was thinking of a more economical way of washing hair I'll be making my own soap (shampoo bars) THANKS chick i totally LOVED THIS

[@siloesoap7408]

Love your voice; it´s very soothing to listen to. Terrific explanation and tutorial on the shampoo bar ingredients.

[@deabreurich6430]

Thank you! Your voice is so soft. I love to here it on all your videos. A quick question: Did you use soapcalc for the percentages?

[@mariaconcilio5910]

Thank you so much! Can't wait to try your recipe for these shampoo bars! I also make beer soap as a shampoo bar and a shaving soap for hubby. He has been asking for a good shampoo bar so I will be making soon!

[@BAuclairImagery]

I've used Tea Tree Oil on my hair as well as many clients for varying issues. I use Tea Tree Oil in shampoos to cleanse the scalp of impurities, excess build up but also for itchy or dry scalp. What I love about it is it soothes the scalp without drying it. You could probably try adding .5oz to an ounce into a shampoo recipe, but make sure to run in through a soap calculator to even the recipe back out. Great video! The lather is fantastic looking, I cannot wait to try this. :)

[@GoodEarthSpa]

That depends on your hair type and specific hair issues. I do not need a separate conditioner but I occasionally do oil treatments. When I had chlorine in my water, I needed a conditioner all the time no matter what I used. Our hair and our water is so different from one person to the next. We kind of have to find our own perfect routine that gives us the results we want.

[@tinamedina386]

Youre so cool! I dont suppose Ive see something like this before. So good to search out someone with some authentic ideas on this subject. realy thank you for starting this up. this youtube video is one thing thats wanted on the youtube, someone with slightly originality. useful job for bringing something new to the internet!

[@GoodEarthSpa]

@MarciasMeadow Thanks, Marcia! I'm glad you received everything so quickly and I'm thrilled you like everything! =)

[@jenleduc5494]

My question here is what makes the hair clean? Everything I heard is great for conditioning and moisturizing. I cant wait to try this :) Thanks for sharing

[@christinemm67]

Thank you for the video. You have a great voice. You are also patient with some commenters.

[@ccartdesigns]

thank you sooo so much for making these AWESOME tutorials they are so helpful especially for a newbie soaper like me! eve

[@CyberJohnJ]

Wow! You're an absolute legend!! Thanks!

[@GoodEarthSpa]

Yes! All of these ingredients are commonly used for ethnic hair types and I've had lots of positive response from people with ethnic hair. That being said, we are all unique and different so it may work better for some over others. Even though I have white normal hair type, I've grown up using many ethnic hair shampoos growing up because my step-mom was a black woman and I grew up in a mixed cultural family. This shampoo has great moisturizing oils which I need for my dry scalp issues.

[@VelmaJinkys]

Thank you. That lather was awesome

[@MrsSoapPeddlersHomestead]

Thanks Bonnie. I have been wanting to make shampoo Bars for a while now...I appreciate you sharing your recipe!

[@ninarekhi]

This looks like a great recipe. Thanks for sharing! 🙂

[@susanmccann3899]

Thank you ..beautifully spoken tutorial..Thank you for recipe especially.... have a great day x

Learning so much from your videos! They are great, thanks so much!

[@linus0804]

Lovely! Can’t wait to try this recipe.

[@cajunqt7]

Thank you so much for the recipe! I can't wait to try it

[@moriversoap]

Great tutorial Bonnie!

[@mariafavela6703]

Thanx for responding I really appreciate it with everything u have going on its nice to kno u have time for ur fans hope everything is ok and I'm anxious to see ur next video.......

[@carolj561]

Thank you for the cool videos, I really love this one for the hair shampoo, cant wait to try this one. Thanks again!!:)

[@simoneedwards8015]

Beautiful demonstration and very good explanation of the ingredients! Do you think that is possible using murumuru butter instead of jojoba oil? Thank you very much!

[@eensha6242001]

Love your videos. Can't wait to make some of these.

[@K777angel]

Awesome finished product!

[@GoodEarthSpa]

@ibislee Yes, it is because castor has solvent like properties that wash away the oils more cleanly. It's hard to get a good shampoo without using castor, especially if you have longer hair. Shorter hair people can often use any bar of soap.

[@meflagg3741]

Hi Bonnie...I love your shampoo recipe. It works great for my hair. I need to make some more but am out of jojoba oil. Is there something I can use in it's place? Thanks, Mary

[@1207sed]

I'd love to try this recipe! I like all ingredients used, however I'd like to sub a little of the olive oil with some argan oil...

[@GoodEarthSpa]

I must have said fragrance and meant EO. I've never purchased or used tea tree fragrance. I used Australian tea tree essential oil. In this shampoo video I think I did lavender EO blended with other FOs. But yes, I only use tea tree distilled essential oil, not fragrance. Glad to clear this up. Sometimes I think one thing and say another. I don't always catch it... like the time I said frosting and meant fragrance when describing chocolate LOL.

[@rhadika22]

Love this it was so easy can't wait to try

[@GoodEarthSpa]

@ibislee Yes, castor rinses out of the hair much better. This recipe is more for dry hair. You could play around with the oils and lye or add clay to adjust for specific hair types.

[@onceuponacruise]

Someone asked if there is a cure time. Bonnie states this towards the end. She said 4 weeks. Great video as always. I had no problem with the sound at all.

[@teacherannsfavorites4939]

Wow ! It's good to know this. Thank you.

[@KillerinQueen]

Awesome!!!!! i love that recipe... and i'll try it out...

[@mariafavela6703]

I was wondering if u had any liquid shampoo recipes I would really like it if u can share a good one.......love ur laundry soap recipe it works really good

[@GoodEarthSpa]

I sometimes use hydrosols in soap making and they are usually fine. Once or twice I have noticed things did not come out right and that was from using a fir hydrosol. You can give it a try. They are distilled but will contain some water soluble scented particles from the plant. But, you generally can't smell the hydrosol in the final soap so it might not be worth it. I'm currently experimenting in using 2X, 3X etc strength hydrosols in soap making.

[@valbakke]

Thanks so much for posting this!

[@GoodEarthSpa]

@lovethyscent Try washing with the lather and not rubbing the bar on your head. This will prevent too much soap from getting into your hair. This bar washes out very easily and cleanly. Liquid shampoo is about 1/4 soap or detergent with 3/4 water and thickeners. Shampoo bars use less plastic and last about 4 times longer than watered down liquid shampoos.

[@RouxLoux]

I love this video and your voice is just amazing to listen to! Also very informative without getting confusing. I have a question tho, would this be suitable for slightly oily scalp? Also does it help against dandruff and itchy scalp?

[@GoodEarthSpa]

@FromGodsGarden Yes, you can. Note that smaller batch sizes may need additional heat to fully gel. Oven set on "warm" will help if needed.

[@BodyCareBoutique]

Awesome video, thank you so much for sharing!! I've been wanting to make a good shampoo bar, this would be great! Smiles, Mel

[@michaelgrace111]

Hi Bonnie, love your videos!

[@Thebodystop]

LOVE LOVE Love IT!!! and thanks for not using a whole lots of Jojoba oil!!!... That stuffs super expensive!!

[@knightleydalefarm]

i love your videos, great inspiration

[@AnnaFresa1]

thank you very much for your reply, I have just become so much nervous regarding water, after watching a documentary about how limited resource of drinkable water we actually have. Once again, great job can imagine how beneficial the bars will be, maybe I can order it online. Thanks again and good day!

[@lillianmorgancbc]

This looks delicious for the hair

[@eensha6242001]

I finally got around to making these yesterday and I think I let my soap because I had to clump it into the mold. I am unmolding today to see how it looks.

[@DawnEdwards6267]

Hi Bonnie, thank you so much for sharing this. What type of hair would benefit from this recipe? Thank you!

[@geraldinalucata6211]

Bonnie, Your voice is sooooo soothing. :D.

[@Anitators]

I'm trying this today! Awesome! But I wanted to ask- do I have to leave it for 3-4weeks, as I would do to regular soap, in order for the lye to "come out"? Or can I use this shampoo earlier?

[@GoodEarthSpa]

@mukwah1111 as for oils for thinning hair... essential oils tea tree, lavender and cedarwood are all great for cleaning follicles which would help prevent thinning due to blocked follicles. You can swap any of those for the scenting oils.

[@vegan_potato]

Wow can't believe I got this recommended now after all these years :o Am I the only one? :D But it's exactly what I needed so thank you and the youtube algorithm for this! I should definitely try it out ^-^

[@jaimerodriguez7888]

You are THE BEST!!!

[@GoodEarthSpa]

@valbakke No, I do not always CPOP soaps. Only for quick curing or loaves made to order, etc. Usually not in my regular soaps. You can shave off the tops and do another lather PH test or taste test and see how that goes.

[@SaraVV]

Thank you so much for this video. What is the pH after the four week curing time?

[@equestra77]

Thanks for the tutorial. I just made it yesterday and mine seems a little too soft. It is getting harder by the hour, hope, hope. I live 1000yds from the ocean & have had other products be difficult. Should I have waited longer to remove the mold? One of the corners was mushy. It is also going through gel phase.

[@ciaomamabella]

Great video thank u. I will be trying this. :)

[@prodipkumarmandal1413]

I love to see your videos.. how long I can use the soap ...Does it have any expiry date...If I add vitamine e ...Does it work as a preservatives.

[@GoodEarthSpa]

Yes, you can use KOH to make a liquid shampoo but it is a very different process than this method. I find that bars are more emollient and better for my sensitive scalp but liquid shampoos may work better for some.

[@GoodEarthSpa]

My shampoos got wiped out recently. I'm making more today but they won't be ready for some weeks. I make a hair and scalp cream salve that I use for myself. When my hair is long I use it on the tips but it's shorter now so I melt it into my fingers and rub it in my scalp and roots. I don't sell the hair salve. I make it with almond oil, jojoba oil, beeswax, aloe, vitamin e, lavender and clary sage eos. Shea is a little too greasy for my hair but I love it for my skin.

[@lisaschneider2030]

Looks lovely. thanks for the tutorial and tips. Please turn off the faucet when you are not actively washing/ rinsing. Conservation is catching. Thanks again.

[@GoodEarthSpa]

Thank you for you awareness. We are on a sustainable off the grid water supply.

[@flyinspirals]

Thanks, how cool of you. I'm just starting to make natural personal care products for me (& my elderly mother) because all chemical products eventually start to cause horrible itchy rashes (yay, genetics), and so far, they're awesome. Better for the environment and way, way more economical.

[@EgotreeSpa]

Hello Bonnie and thanks for all the information and your videos. On your list of essential oils you mention 9ml of ???? liss???? Sorry I can't make out what you meant

[@gabriellekili2977]

I wanted to thank you for all these posts , I havent started makeing soap yet. I am reading some but I learn better thru watching so these are extreamly helpfull as I learn the process involved. I was wondering if this shampoo bar would be ok on supers sensitive skin, I can only use about 1/4 of the shampoos on the market without my scalp scabbing up so I kinda want to try something like this , for all I know its all the extra nasty stuff they put in my skin has a problem with.

[@finefollyglassworks]

How do you remove the glycerin residue from your hair after shampooing? I have used homemade Shampoo Bars before and they leave a residue. Thank you for making this excellent video.

[@Skaldi3]

wow, ty EdentiaFarms I've been reading soaping blogs for the past 6 years and that's best explanation of the process I've seen. I have a question for you if I might ask, why does hot process not make hair dye come out of hair and cold process even if cured a year will make the dye run out of your hair? Any thoughts on this?

[@MsDjDor]

Hi bonnie - I love your vids and have tried a few of your recipes. I have always struggles

[@Zoewitchywoo]

You have yourself a new subscriber! Can you please tell me is the reason for distilled water because it is purest? And am I right in thinking that tis is a very moisturising dry hair shampoo?

[@Inhalin1514]

Really great video! I would love to try this but I had a question(for us newbies). What is a PH test for? Is there a "bad" ph test outcome?

[@michelebartholome7798]

safty tip keep white vinegre handy as it cleans up lye spillage espesialy on your skin as lye is very caustic

[@honeyy79]

aww im gonna make solid shampoo bars soon! I hate the commercial shampoo. Its smell too much. Thanks for sharing recepie :) Your voice is very nice to listen to, its calm and relaxed. Very nice.

[@ThePinkHeel]

Great recipe! Would also be nice to learn to make liquid shampoo and/or a deep conditionning treatment. Very useful video, as always! PS: My family & friends loved all the soaps :)

[@pattypoehls6346]

Thank you, it looks so rich! If I were to substitute say sunflower for the jojoba oil, would I need to adjust the lye? Im still learning...:)

[@khione8044]

+Patty Poehls Yes. Each oil has a different lye requirement that is needed to change into soap. If you want to adjust the recipe, you need to run it through a lye calculator (you can find one online - free to use) to get the adjusted lye recommendations for the change.

[@K777angel]

Wow thank you for the informative explanation. :)

[@Skaldi3]

Jeff Roy, the shelf life would be roughly 4 years plus the expiration date on the products you used to make it. Glycol which is actually what you are making is a preservative in itself. However, it can have mold and other issues develop so store it in a cool, dry place.

[@maishair]

Hey Bonnie I am your fan girl..... Really.... I love your videos.... One question... Can we replace Sodium hydroxide with potassium hydroxide to make it a liquid shampoo?

[@Dandicreations]

Very nice!!!! Diana
