@@BlazeMontiBear in mind that not all soap-free bars are the same. Soap-free (pH balanced) bars have scalp-friendly pH which helps cuticles to lie flat resulting in healthy-looking and shiny hair.
@@BlazeMontiIt's all about the pH! Our scalp is an acidic environment with a pH level between 4.5- 5.5 and needs a pH-balanced product to maintain optimum pH levels. Soap-free shampoo bars are pH balanced and have pH levels between 4 - 6 (ideal for hair & scalp), while soap-based bars have a naturally high pH of 9-10.
Hey Stephanie... I have been looking for a Ayurvedic Shampoo Bar recipe that actually gets hard and not soften up under water. I will give these a try next month after I get all the ingredients and get back home from my daughters house. Looking forward to making them...stay tuned!!😜
@@dinilsaetanga2257 ah thank you for asking, I no longer use what I was doing previously because I’m not a loose natural anymore since I have Locs BUT I can make a video on whatI did at the time. My hair loved it, but it was quite oil/butter heavy. Now my leave in is just aloe Vera juice and water and I seal with an oil mix. I keep things very simple.
Hi there! If you use a liquid black soap that contains water it will affect the soaps ability to harden like regular soap, it would need to be kept frozen and put in the fridge to preserve it. Hope that helps!
@@keyamoore8031 hm trying to visualise what you mean, if I’m assuming correctly that should be fine, if either start to harden you can always heat them up again to keep them melted so both mix nicely together before you place in the mould. Hope that helps!
@@jenzshaw Hi! I live in a cold country so haven’t experiences this but, when we leave the soap in the bath we did leave it in a covered soap dish, the dish had a bottom and a top to enclose it. This might be annoying but either keeping it in the freezer between washes to preserve it might help or only wet it just before you use it on your scalp and then keep it away from the hot/warm water after that.
Hello, when you say a bar of African black soap is that 1 pound worth? The black soap that I buy comes in 1 pound increments. Also do you still use the bar soap if so do you still like it is there anything that you don't like about it? Thank you😊
Hi there, the bar I use is apprx 1.4lb in weight so that should be fine. I do still use the soaps, my husband loves them they clean my scalp and skin nicely. Looking forward to making another batch 😌 the only thing I don’t like is with any other soap the way is disintegrates after using over time but if you have a soap dish to keep it covered after use it is fine.
Do you still think that it works fine without any oils added? Overtime have you found it to be stripping for the hair , really moisturizing or in between. Thank you.
@@naketastanley1732 it doesn’t strip but it does feel clean I think the added oils do help in that regard but I would follow up with a very moisturising conditioner I would rinse out consisting of melted Shea butter, coconut milk, a few oils on hand, coconut oil if it works for you. This would coat each of my strands beautifully and I didn’t need to add anything else after rinsing that out. If you go to my community tab I have pictures I took over the course of time from using these exact recipes.
It can, but you will run into the trouble in getting it to melt and stay melted. That makes it difficult to add your powders and re-mould. A melt and pour will give you the consistency you need to mix in your herbs.
Good Evening....I made these ayurvedic shampoo bars but they did not stay hard. Instead the water dissolved them so quickly. They were a big mush...HELP!!!
Hi! How long did you let them sit and freeze? I normally use a soap holder with a cover and mine last in their shape for almost a month or a little longer
Good question, I actuslly didn't test the ph when I created it but I would encourage you to test if you decide to make it and alter ingredients based on the ph level you're looking for.
Thank you for sharing this recipe. Is African Black soap appropriate to use on Caucasian hair? I just made some shampoo bars with this ingredient for some of my customers who have asked for it, but I'd love to be able to test it out on my hair before selling it to the public. Thank you =)
I have an understanding that shampoo doesn't have lye because, hair follicles so I'm kinda surprised to see people using lye for a shampoo bar 🤔 how does your hair feel using soap instead of shampoo?
Hi at the moment i’m working on developing a leave in spray, however I did make a diy deep conditioner. I had not perfected the recipe to the consistency of my liking so didn’t want to share just yet
Soap bases have high pH and can damage your hair. Use a Syndopour base instead as it has a neutral pH
What if it's detergent free soap base?!

@@Zara_4545 goat milk is a great soap base, Africa. Black soap is optional!
@@WearingHerCrown ok mam so we use goat milk soap😊
Thanks I love this video thanks so much
Thankyou for sharing your soap making recipe. I was looking for ayurvedic recipes for shampoo bars. ❤
Excellent tutorial! thank you for making this video!
Awesome!! Im looking more into natural products!!!
Hello how are you enjoy your soap making.
Question your soap keep soft or they keep hard?
Excellent video. Thank you for sharing!
Great video! Question, do you just use this shampoo bar soap for your hair, or do you also use a conditioner afterwards?
I use a homemade conditioner as well, I can make a video on it soon!
@@WearingHerCrownplease do u have the video of the conditioner already???

Hi. This is a great video 😁 I was wondering if I could use liquid black soap instead of the bar?
Ma’am?

Great! Thanks so much😁
@@WearingHerCrown What about the Black soap Paste to add it in as the the other soap base is melting? Will that be Ok?
@@keyamoore8031 hm trying to visualise what you mean, if I’m assuming correctly that should be fine, if either start to harden you can always heat them up again to keep them melted so both mix nicely together before you place in the mould. Hope that helps!
So you can use lye on your hair? I thought it was purely for body soap
So i did try making this. The problem is that the soap softens and melts when left outside. Any way to combat that?

Can African black soap be used in place of melt and pour soap bases since it's already a soap?
It can, but you will run into the trouble in getting it to melt and stay melted. That makes it difficult to add your powders and re-mould. A melt and pour will give you the consistency you need to mix in your herbs.
Wow I understand,makes alot of sense 🙂🙂

Absolutely, but it can be a little drying as it might strip your hair but if you tend to have oily hair then it won’t be an issue. Rinse thoroughly!
Where you get that herb grinder ?
I believe it’s actually a coffee grinder! found it on Amazon I believe
@@WearingHerCrown thank you
Is it about 1 lbs of african black soap
Yes it is!
Can I prepare this shampoo bar using lye and some oils from beginning with the powder you used?
that’s a good question I’ve never tried it but if you do try a patch test to see if it comes out nicely
I tried making the shampoo from beginning using African black soap but I added lye to it and it is great 👍. I love it.
Thank you once again

@@silviamtz8961 so good.
What is the PH of this soap?
I’ll test it the next time I make it!
Will you make a conditioner bar?

Where do you order the silicon moulds
Amazon! Just search soap mould
