Syndet Bar recipe for all hair types | Why syndet bars are a thing | Day 84/365

[@jgassa]

I used to use Castile Soap on my hair after developing neurological issues from regular shampoos. It was ok. It was better than suffering through negative symptoms. It's actually what led me to became a soap maker. Once I started to investigate the synthetic detergents that were on the market, I was quickly able to delete the ones that would be or could potentially be problematic. It was a little more challenging to find the safe ones. I am a wash it and wear it type of person, but even so, I wasn't completely satisfied with my haircare routine. My hair grows fast, so I would cut it off about every 18 months because I got tired of managing long hair that was course. Once I formulated my syndet recipe bar and then made a couple of tweeks, it literally changed my hair. I went from two washes a week, to one. My hair is thick, soft, and easy to manage. I just added a conditioning bar, and WOW!

[@jgassa]

Oh! I wanted to tell you...If you melt the SCI, and mix your ingredients, it can be poured into a soap loaf mold and cut. So much easier than pressing them!

[@tinybarabo]

Regarding pH, you can easily adjust it in your syndet bar, so you can make it to 5,5. You cannot make that in a CP soap. But I love bar soaps for my body though. ☺️

[@Chatty-Kathy01]

I have made and used both hot process soap shampoo and syndet shampoo bars. My long, fine textured and color treated hair responds better to the syndet. My husband’s short thick hair is great with either one.

Im kinda glad I did not find your channel when you first started it. I can binge watch/listen to you while Im making stuff. I love listening to you. Thank you!

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

I LOVE channels I can binge watch, and when I’m all caught up, I just start over again. 😂

[@soapsonstone740]

@@MrsSoapAndClay Me too! You can’t see how many times Ive watched each video....... right?! Cos..... I may or may not have watched them maybe 1,2 or 10 times!😂💜💜

[@ellielynn8219]

I loved seeing your sweet kiddos! 💜 My girls, 6 and 9 watched with me, and were so excited to see them. They have heard me binge watching your channel for a week now (thank you for AALLLL the content) and they were so excited to see you had kids close to their age. So fun!

[@flint857]

Thank you so much for pointing out the ph thing, personally I thought it was a rediculess argument as the places people use soap most aggressively are the areas where the sun don't shine, they also happen to be the places that house the most hair aside from the head, atleast for us guys. So it didn't make sense that I couldn't make a soap that wasn't good on my hair. And I also didn't know these where called syndet bars, I just saw them as shampoo bars, I have thin hair and it's absolutely necessary for me to go the all natural route as it's the only thing keeping my hair reasonably in tact. Anyway keep up your excellent work, I just launched my company, I dont use any of your recipes directly , but I appreciate your information and use as much as I can. Thanks a bundle!

[@mkqstudios1271]

There is a dough hook attachment that would probably work better it kind of looks like a corkscrew I use it for making fondant it helps

[@nancykelly9712]

Personally I find a syndet shampoo really drying for both my scalp and my hair. My hair feels like straw after a few washes. I much prefer my cp shampoo which I've totally formulated myself with some pretty awesome ingredients. My hair and scalp are in love with it!! Thanks for sharing your process though! 💞

[@soapsoilandsunshine3241]

@@nayelli1764 Elly's Everyday on KZbin has a recipe for CP shampoo. Also a link to a book about it.

Mom said use dough hook on mixer. It might help.

[@Audie_The_Bullmastiff]

Do you have the measurements for this?

[@jioce1]

I just recently tried a shampoo syndet bar and was shocked when my hair did NOT fall out. Usually no matter what shampoo I seem to use my hair comes out in handfuls when I wash it. I tested the soap each time I washed my hair using different timings eg 2 days then 4 days then over a week between washes and happy to say maximum hair fall out seems to be average of 3 strands and now i see my hair growing back! So if its the same as the liquid why doesn't my hair fall out

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

It’s not the same as liquid shampoo - except that it’s a synthetic. You may very well have a reaction to some common ingredient found in most liquid shampoos!

[@angelalute1172]

I've had the same reaction to using my own shampoo bars versus the shampoo from the store. I was so amazed that my hair did not come out by the handfuls!

[@ikitchenqueen]

I plan on making this, but I CANNOT lose my KitchenAid 😬 Have you tried using the dough attachment instead? when I make VERY stiff doughs it bogs down, so I almost always have to switch to a dough hook to save my motor!

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

What a good idea! Thanks!

[@kimberlyhaugan9983]

Nice video. Thanks for making and sharing this video.

[@victoriabegley7557]

Do you have to dry the shampoo bars before use? I love what you are doing!

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Syndet bars can be used a few hours after making - as soon as they’re fully firm. Thanks so much for watching! :)

Is it cetearyl or cetryl alcohol? I think I bought the wrong one

[@doublybubblysoap9734]

Taken from: www.differencebetween.com/difference-between-cetyl-alcohol-and-cetearyl-alcohol/ The key difference between cetyl alcohol and cetearyl alcohol is that cetyl alcohol is a single chemical compound, whereas cetearyl alcohol is a mixture of chemical compounds. Cetyl alcohol is useful in the cosmetic industry as an opacifier in shampoos, as an emollient, emulsifier or thickening agent in skin creams and lotions. Cetearyl alcohol is important as an emulsion stabilizer, opacifying agent, and a foam boosting surfactant.

You are awesome--not awkward. Like your opinions.

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Well thanks! I have a friend that does a podcast called Own Your Awkward, and I quite like the idea of taking ownership of our rather innocuous eccentricities instead of trying to change them to fit a certain mold. But I do love being called awesome. ❤️🙏

[@barbaramansfield6423]

@@MrsSoapAndClay Well, framed that way, be awkward as you like. I was happy to reclaim a nickname (Babs) meant as a pejorative tease--so I get that

Hey there:) it says recipe, but I don’t see the measurements?

[@kekokcraft]

Just watch carefully the scales number that show when she measuring all that she needs. Don't forget to write it down.

When pressing, why don’t you flip the plastic under it so it doesn’t stick to the table?

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Hi! I do, sometimes. Most of the time I just press them into my hand. It’s all a thing. 😂

Is there a way to make this type of bar that is completely coconut free?

Great information for a begginer like me. Thank you for the video

[@helenehenkel]

I really want to formulate cold process shampoo bars & will embark on that in the next few months.

[@tiana4351]

Is there a recipe for this?

[@Skylightatdusk]

Is it possible and or advisable to use additives like aloe and oats? Will they need to be powdered only? What is the maximum safe percentage for these ingredients?

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Sure! I’d stick with powdered and start at 1%. Have fun!

[@cuentaph2254]

No matter how many times I rewind, I cannot figure out the amount of scent or the amount of sea buckthorn. Can someone please help me out?

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Scent, always, is according to the scent’s max usage rating for shampoo and your scent desires. The extracts are also according to manufacturer’s recommendation.
