Thank you. I'm glad so many have responded. I was shocked that the world wide web didn't cough up much on the subject. But I am in hopes to figure it out and share.

No problem. Thanks for the info. It really would be awesome to achieve an universal dread shampoo bar. I know that would be very difficult if not impossible. Everyone's hair and scalp are so different. But I still want to give it a go. :-)

Thanks I will keep that in mind and monitor what my scalp is telling me while trying this one out. I'm a little worried about the palm to as some say it leaves residue and some say it doesn't. Lot of testing and record keeping in my near future. :-)

H,,, it sounds like something I'm willing to try. Although since I started making soap I so love bubbles. Lol but I am willing to use what works best for my hair. Thanks for tips and info.

If you don't mind me asking - what type of hair do you have? How often did you wash (No judgements here) I know with dreads some wash more often some less. And approx. How much borax did you use? Thanks for your reply. :-)

I know some are able to use dry shampoo and I could the first couple weeks but after that I couldn't anymore. I think because of the deep cleanse mix I use. It has sea salt and lemon in it that dries and tightens everything up a bunch. What type of hair do they have if you don't mind me asking...

Dread-headed works for me. Lol That would be wonderful. I'm not sure how shampoos would effect my type hair versus hers as everyone's hair is different but I think knowledge either way is a good thing. I have to get a few ingredients before I can make up a batch from the link. But I think it...

Thank you. I will go check that out. The recipe I listed above felt like left some residue so that's why I am hoping to go a slightly different direction. I will practice some patience. Lol it is so very hard for me that's why I do hot process soap.:-) Thanks again and have a great weekend

Oh wow! Nobody here at SMF has dreads? Surely someone does. :-) Well if I can figure a recipe out everyone, sellers included, are more than welcome to the recipe. I just can't see spending approx $10.00 plus shipping for something I should be able to make. Here is the recipe I have so far...

Okay I've done a search here and didn't find much info. I was wondering if anyone makes dread shampoo bars. I'm not looking for a recipe per say as much as just helpful information on making shampoo bars. Mostly what is a good superfatting % Dreadlocks don't need as much conditioning in the...

I will check out that recipe for sure. I have checked to see if any of the oils bother me but I didn't think about checking on the boys so I will keep that in mind for sure and probably lower the list. I definitely want to keep the EO amounts low. I will keep researching and playing with the...

I think I will work on getting some. I used to use plants that we had for burns and such before I started soaping but we lost them a couple freezes back. I really enjoyed using aloe then and think I will get some and try it out. Thanks

Thank you for your reply. I am going to add it with my superfats at the end of cook. I wanted to add the veggie/fruit puree for their benifits to the skin. Avocodo is so yummy and I thought it would be fun to play around with using puree. I have been thinking about getting aloe juice and...

Lol. I know it is a involved recipe but in short I wanted to see about packing in the ingredients to this one for fun and experimenting. I'll try to explain why I chose each one in short form. OO - moisturizing, healing CO - lather, acne, hardening bar RBO- antioxidant, inflammation, soothing...

Hello, I wanting to make a very moisturizing mild facial soap bar. This is the recipe I came up with. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks for looking. Hot Process with 7% supefat added at end of cook. I want to use milk, and veggie/fruit puree for water content. I was thinking of adding...

Thanks for your reply. I was thinking of adding them as a super fats without the lye discount. I Hot Process so I would be adding towards the end of the cooking period so the lye would be done with the rest of the fats. I'm sorry I should have mentioned that. I read about the coconut butter...

I am just wondering if anyone has ever used these in soap before. I do HP and was thinking of super fatting with them maybe? I am hoping to add a slight coconut and pecan fragrance by adding the butters and hopefully NOT have to use fragrance oils. Any thoughts or ideas? P.S. I have read...

@ Hazel, wow thank you so much for all the info. And no you didn't confuse me. Lol only because I have been reading up on the different oils. It's so hard when you want to try a little of every project. You did answer some of the questions roaming around in my head - like the shelf life of...

Hazel, no need to be sorry. I enjoyed the info. :D The last recipe you shared is kind of close to this last batch I made. I'm not sure how it will be after cure but I have more hope now after seeing your recipe. I wanted to try something with more coconut oil in it. I was hoping the...

Thank you so much everyone. I have been doing research, a LOT of research and it does get over whelming sometimes. I am not wanting to start a business making soap. I want to learn to make for us and for gifts for family and friends. But I still want the soaps I make to be safe and wonderful...
