hi everyone!!!! I'm new here & have a Q about Shampoo Bars.
I'm making my own with a recipe I saw on this site from a long time ago, but have a few questions and would be so happy if someone could help me out
1. Is it better to use coconut oil or shea butter? Was wondering if it's better to sub coconut oil for shea butter, but not sure if those are substitutable.
2. Same question with sweet almond oil & castor oil. Are they substitutable, and is one better than the other?
3. I think it'd be fun to add a natural colorant to it, would ground tumeric work? Or will it turn my hair yellow???
Here's the recipe from the site I found:
2 lbs m&p ready for additives
1 TBLS Coconut Oil
1 Tbls Olive Oil
1 teaspoon sweet almond oil
10 drops lavender EO
10 Rosemary EO
THANK YOU!!!!
