Okay, I'm new to this soap making joy. But, I am over the top addicted. As in if I don't make a batch a day I get the shakes! Okay, maybe not quite that bad but close.
Because of making soap each and every day for the last few weeks, I'm pretty much out of everything. But I still had coconut oil.
My hair loves coconut oil. I usually mix my regular shampoo half and half with coconut oil to wash it. My hair is fine and curly and the coconut oil fixes it right up.
I really am getting to the point. So I made today a shampoo bar with 100% coconut oil superfatted 30% extra and added a couple of tablespoons of fenugreek to the oil and mixed it in well before I added the lye water (actually aloe and lye, not plain water).
I don't know how it's going to work, but I do know the scent of the soap is very strong (fenugreek smells like maple syrup to me) although I don't know if it will cure out.
Since I couldn't find anything on fenugreek I thought I'd mention the scent if anyone was interested in having maple scented soap.
I'll let you all know if it still smells so good in a couple weeks. And thanks for all the wonderful ideas and information that got me started on this new hobby, errrr addiction.
