one newbie to another; what are you using for the cleaning part? Are you making a “syndet” with a lot of fancy chemicals, or will you also add lye? Because without either of those, it’s just a list of things to wash OUT of your hair

You also formulated it more the way lotions and other non-cleaning things are listed, as volumes. When making soap, you need more accuracy, which is why better use weight, and when sharing a recipe, even better to use percentages.

Hey @CrunchyFuture ! While we're a friendly group, we aren't exactly "friends"! Yet.
Take a step in the right direction... Go to the Introduction Forum and tell us a little about yourself, what brought you to SMF and especially, about your level of soap making experience. That will give us a basis to help us to help you.

I'm speechless. Trust me, you don't want to know what I think. LOL

When you have time, here's a link to a liquid soap tutorial for Shampoo for you. Read it over 2 or 3 times to absorb as much as you can before trying it.
