I havent tried it yet but its the best i've come up with so far for liquid soap shampoo.
ive been using 1 part water 1 part dr. bronners for the last few months
 
I wonder if these oils could be made into a shampoo BAR? I'm not ready to try liquid soap yet.

4 ounces castor oil
2 ounces jojoba oil
4 ounces olive oil (pomace quality)
3 ounces palm oil
1 ounce cocoa butter
6 ounces of coconut oil

7.6 ounces water
2.617 ounces lye

(8% superfat)

I used lavender, cedarwood, and rosemany essential oils. (not much, you can barely smell anything).

This is a very nice bar that works well for everyone in our family. My husband has oily hair, while mine is dry. This works well for both of us- cleans well without stripping my dry hair. It's got nice creamy bubbly lather, and is very mild.
 
Thanks, Yooper. That sounds like a great recipe. (I just need a few more oils so I can try it.)

CaliChan's recipe had AOs in it, and I have *heard* AOs do not work well for shampoo bars. I was just wondering if that is true.
