Gee, I'm depressed, lol, as I don't know what to use on my hair!

Well, that must be why it works for some but not all. I guess everybody's hair is different but the previous poster scared me about ruining my hair! I guess if my hair feels and looks good, I shouldn't worry? That really got me upset.

Hmmm. I have heard this before but my hair has never felt better since using this soap on my hair. Store shampoo was a nightmare for me. At this point, I guess I'm confused.

I make a shampoo with 40% almond oil, 30% coconut oil, and 30% olive oil. I make the soap with glycerin instead of water. Then, I add 1% glycerin to the finished product. I love this shampoo but my daughters complain that it makes their hair greasy. I don't understand. Does anyone have any...

How on earth do you use ewax in liquid soap? Please let me know because I have some of that but no PS80. I think I'll try substituting jojoba for the meadowfoam. I've seen meadowfoam listed as an ingredient in several recipes but I've already invested so much money in supplies that I hate...

I don't have any meadowfoam seed oil or PS80. Will I notice a big difference if I leave that out?

Ok. This recipe looks yummy and I gotta try it. Like, right now! But, I have a couple questions: 1. Are you ADDING stearic acid to this recipe? Or are you referring to the stearic acid that's naturally found in the cocoa and shea butters? 2. I don't know how to superfat after/at...

Thanks. Just making sure I understand everything correctly. I don't know why liquid soap has me so confused!

I'm a bit confused as to how to know when liquid soap is diluted. I just made a recipe from Making Natural Liquid Soaps and used: 18.5 oz coconut 4.5 oz. castor oil 2 oz. jojoba oil 6.5 oz. potassium hydroxide 19.5 oz. glycerin I weighed out the soap paste and added an equal amount of...

Ok. Thanks for letting me know about phenol. I used that abbreviation because I didn't know how to spell phenth whatever, whatever, lol! I always have to search around for the spelling. I think I can remember phph, though.

I want to try this soap design but have a question: The video only shows the hanger going into the mold once and swiping in one direction. Did I miss something? Should it be done twice with a swipe in the other direction? Thanks.

Well, I appreciate everybody's responses. Somebody asked the question about where I got my information to decide that 10.5 pH soap was no good but 9.5 pH soap was good. Heck if I know! Liquid soapmaking is something I'm trying to figure out and the information on the internet is confusing...

I am pulling out my hair trying to get my olive oil liquid soap right. Here's my recipe: 24 oz. olive oil 5 oz. potassium hydroxide 5 oz. water 10 oz. glycerin All went well, soap diluted just fine and was clear as a bell. I tested the pH in three different ways: pH strips...
