Hi! Just made my first shampoo bar and also first time trying a pvc tube as a mold plus first time cutting soap. This is alot of firsts! I have been using individual molds in my soaps so far.
Question about time. The recipe is 75% coconut oil 20% lard 5% castor. I found the recipe on this site.....can't remember who commented that this would be a good shampoo bar but I thank that person because it sounds like it might work for my hair but that will be known in about 6 weeks. I might have clean hair for new year!
Ok so my question is should I wait 24 hours to unmold and cut this recipe? Is it going to be soft or hard if I wait that long? I'll be using a big kitchen knife. It's been molding 14 hours so far. I forgot to say 2-3 % superfat.
