Has anyone else had a problem with lye beads and static cling? When I pour the beads into a cup to weigh, the static is awful and the tiny beads get everywhere. Does anyone have any suggestions to stop the static? Do I put them into another wide mouth container? Though I would rather leave them...

Thank you all for the advice. I did adjust my recipe. Now to wait a month to try it out.

Hello friends, I recently moved and no longer have a water softener. My soaps were wonderful at my old house with the water softener. But now they don't lather well, nor do last very long as I have to use so much to get a little bit of lather on the puff. Any suggestions? My usual recipe is...

Here is the soap I made last week. The first pic is immediately after cutting. It had a dark edge to it. The second is a week later. Does anyone have any ideas how & why it changed colors? I used oo, co, Cisco, Shea and cocoa butter, sweet almond oil, castor oil, vit e and French vanilla...

How do use bar soap as dish soap? Do you grate it up, just rub it on the dishcloth? I want to make my own dish soap, still researching though. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. KattOBRN

Squigglz, just last night I was wondering where I could find info on the various acids. I was going to do some Internet searches today. But then I saw your post!! Thanks so much. KattOBRN

Thanks honeysuds and kdaniels. I too have long kinky curly hair, I do not use conditioner. Every once in a great while I will put straight coconut oil in my hair, leave it in for 30 minutes then wash out. It is a great deep conditioning treatment. KattOBRN
