How can I make it thicker?

[@GammaRay11]

Your hair is beautiful. Do you use your own shampoo?

[@dearinsomniadontletthebedb9237]

QUESTION: Can this be used weekly? I.e is it drying/stripping?😕

[@dearinsomniadontletthebedb9237]

@@KinkyChickNoLye did you try it? Does it foam?

[@locsbyholiday2231]

Would an emulsifying wax change the viscosity? Or would I still need to use xantham gum to thicken it?

[@kelliewilson9643]

I made your recipe with a slight variation based on ingredients I had in my home. I basically used jojoba oil instead of glycerin , and used a homemade goat milk soap as the base. It took all of seven minutes to make. After three shampoos (I have long thick dreadllocks) my hair came out shiny, soft and so well-moisturized that I didn't need a conditioner. The lather was silky with small soft bubbles. Thanks for sharing such an excellent recipe, and for walking us through the steps. I am *done* overspending on expensive shampoos now that I can make them myself with flawless , customized results. I plan to make it fresh every time so I can avoid the preservatives.

[@tirapatstew1355]

I have been told so many times that African black soap shampoo does not need a preservative because of the alkaline. It won’t allow anything to grow in it. mold etc. cant live it. However Listening to this, it’s been to be safe than sorry. Plus there are natural preservatives we can use. Thank you for being so Informative. I love watching and learning from your videos

Hi Elise, would you able to put this black soap shampoo in the formulation section of your website? It would be so helpful because I want to add other ingredients and having it all in grams would be great. Thanks in advance.

[@beeutifulqueens5901]

can someone tell me what can be used to prevent the oils from seperating from the water? I'd greatly appreciate it.

[@RavenRRenee]

You are so beautiful! I've been looking for a channel like this for so long!! thank you so much I subscribed off the first video I watched. I love the videos you have, but I would also love to see a video about your natural hair care regimen. I've been trying to figure out how often I should wash my hair and different ways to keep it moisturized. You're curls are so pretty and your hair looks so healthy. I need some tips and I would love to have the hair products I use to be completely natural.

[@WholeElise]

Wow thank you so much my lovely! I know how difficult it can be to get a haircare regime that actually works for you - especially if you're interested in using natural products so I'm glad that my channel might be of some help. I haven't done a full regimen yet - but I do have a video showing you how I apply my DIY hair growth spray & flaxseed-aloe hair gel in my wash routine: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4fbqKhsm5eIeNE I'll definitely be making more natural hair tutorials in the future too! Thanks for watching 😊💚

[@monikaykataria3838]

Very useful video,the way u explain s so kind n adorable,. So beautifully explained. I have doubt, pls suggest that how much preservative can be added for 6months shelf life, for 1year shelf life n for 18months shelf life. Thank u in advance..

[@marybradley210]

Thank you for talking about the ph and showing how to get it where it should be for hair. I will definitely try this shampoo.

Wow! you're very knowledgeable about these ingredients. Your content is very informative! and I love it!

[@WholeElise]

Thanks Kerrosy! It's mainly down to trial and error lol, but I'm so glad you find it helpful 😊💚💚

[@dajee0420]

Love love love!!! How much xanthan gum would you add to thicken the ratio you’ve provided?

[@WholeElise]

Thank you! The amount of xanthan gum will depend on how thick a shampoo you want - I'd recommend starting at 1/8 teaspoon for the amount in this recipe - and adding more if necessary 😊

[@jameslewis2869]

Awesome video. I tried to make this but it didn’t lather very well. If I want it to lather more what can I do? Also Where can I find the Xanthan gum? Can this shampoo be used on beards as well.

[@blosstalks]

This is so helpful thank you so much. ive just binged watched much of your content and its so informative! wish i found you earlier

[@herbalenrichments]

Thank you. Not sure if I'm doing it right but I poured lots apple cider vinegar in my shampoo mix and the color barely change. I poured to where there wasn't anymore suds! 😂.

[@kenishahammond3935]

I get my African black soap from Baraka Shea and my shea butter as well. Their products are amazing. Check them out when you have a chance. You're skin is beautiful btw! We need a skincare routine ASAP! Excellent video!

[@elisal1216]

Hi, thank you for the recipe! I am a bit confused about pH balancing soap - soap is alkaline and mixing it with acids would only cancel out the saponifying properties of soap? Or is that the goal? What would be the cleaning agent in that case?

[@marianaoliveira3169]

Amazing presentation and explication! You are the real deal! Thank you

[@WholeElise]

Aww glad it was helpful! 😊

Hi hun, I'd use Xantham gum to thicken it, mix it with the glycerine first and then add it to the shampoo after the rest of the ingredients 😊

[@jananni123456789]

Great recipe, can't wait to try it as my current shampoo seems to dry out my scalp. Would be helpful if you said how many grams of soap you used for your soap dilute? Because the concentration of your dilute effects the amount of apple cider vinegar doesn't it?

Hi Elise, what about using aloe Vera gel instead of aloe juice ? Thnx 🙏🌷

[@ivanrcosta13]

Hi! I love the 2ay you do your videos and the way you explain everything, I love love love that! I have tried this recepy but my a Hair turned extremally oily. I basically pores the mix onto my scalp from a quite big container. Do you think that was the issue? I also used not peppermint but another essential oil instead.

[@theresachorinsky563]

Unfortunately I had the same issue. I have fine straight hair and the water in my region is quite hard. The result was oily hair that stuck together. The classical result of soap in combination with hard water, eventhough I have used more apple cider vinegar than proposed . 😕 Is there a way of solving the problem? I am thankful for any helpful advice here. 💐

[@veronicahaney6005]

Dont include the castor oil

Hi what are some preservatives I could use in this please

[@deedee121193]

Hello is Castile soap healthy alternative to black soap?

[@WholeElise]

Absolutely, it's a popular choice to use. It's a little higher on the pH scale but it's still a natural soap that you can use as a base for DIYs 😊

[@lilybaytoday]

Read my mind!

[@pbenson56fran]

Thank you for such a clear explanation of making your own hair shampoo.

[@WholeElise]

Aww you're welcome Paula, glad it was helpful! 💚

[@tylssss]

Does it have any substitute for the aloe Vera juice if you don’t have access to it?

[@WholeElise]

You can use more water, a hydrosol or feel free to just skip it altogether 😊

[@CreativityWithStamps]

Love this recipe and all the natural goodness in it! I was thinking about the castor oil and jojoba oil added in...I am Italian with thick somewhat on the drier side hair but I'm still wondering if those oils would be too much for me? What do you think? Should I leave them out or put smaller amounts of them or replace them with something else?

[@EspadasYCopas]

You have straight hair,i would reduce the amount of oils.

[@TreeKid-uw2wu]

Love it! 🙌🏼 🔥 If I make small batches and store it in the fridge, would it work to skip the preservative? Planning to try a variation of this recipe :) Thanks 🌸
