I LOVE your recipe's and I was just about to ask you about a solid conditioner. My mom love the shampoo bar but I hadn't done the conditioner yet. Gotta make mama happy! I looked through the comments but didn't see anything about my question which may be ridiculous but I'm gonna ask anyway. In the beginning the recipe shows 5% of Glycerin but the oz part of it showed 3 oz which is 10%. and when you added it you added 3 oz. So, safe to say it should be 10%?
Well I’ll be damned, I DID miscalculate and added 10% glycerin instead of 5%. 🤪 I think what that says is it’s safe to go up to 10% glycerin without problems! Gonna pin your comment for future viewers - thanks!
Hi i have just seen your video im gonna try your recipe for sure really appreciated everything you explained on this as it can be very confusing ty for explaining it all really appreciate this i will tune back in to tell you how my bars came out if thats ok again ty ty ty for this informative video have a great day Cat
How fantastic! This is indeed a great jumping point for a conditioner…love, love the options you’ve given. Thank you so much for all the tips. What do I like the most about your videos? It is simply two facts; that you help and encourage me to learn and that you ALWAYS show us to do what we need to do without worrying about being perfect. Having to put videos out looking all perfect and precise is exhausting and unrealistic. Thank you, thank you for being a simple human. Glad the Mr is getting his stuff done. Much love and gratitude.❤️❤️
This is so awesome! Everyone in my home has different hair types. My daughter's hair is beautiful like Alisha Keys. My sons hair changed when they became young men. One is frizzy, the other is tight curls. Products for African Americans leave their hair oily looking. What I use doesn't have enough conditioning. Loved the Mixed Chicks products, but rather expensive. Looking forward to trying this after ordering some ingredients.
construction happens its life :) if someone doesn't understand that then its their problem not yours :) that conditioner bar though looks awesome, sounds like an idea i should try for conditioner for my thin hair :)
I'm a little late to this party, but I've been using these for several months now (I swap half the castor with hemp), and this conditioner is a GAME CHANGER for me. For years, I've battled psoriasis on my scalp, complete with dryness, redness, and raw patches... even hair loss! I tried everything. From smelly tar shampoos to prescriptions. I finally decided to start making my own products and seeing what happened... This bar saved my scalp and rejuvenated my hair! No more hair loss! A clear scalp! My hair looks GREAT! I know I can't "cure" my psoriasis, and it's with me forever, but this bar makes huge difference in how I live with it! Thank you, THANK YOU!!!!!
Hey Mrs. Soap and Clay! I tried this recipe, and for some unknown (blonde moment) reason, I used 6 oz of Stearic Acid instead of the Cetyl Alcohol! Yes, I am a dummy for not paying attention, but when I researched it, it said stearic is not only good and conditioney, but will make the bar harder. They are cooling now; I am interested to see how they turn out!
Hey! That’s awesome! If you find that they’re difficult to slip across the hair and actually apply the conditioning awesomeness because of the stearic, you can remelt and add some CA.
I've been doing a slightly tweaked version of your first conditioner bar recipe. I really do love it. I have a lot of hair... so that one really gives me "big hair" when it's humid. 😂 The only thing that bummed me out is for some reason, a few of my bars got slimy on the tops... I don't think I mixed well enough. So, I kept those ones for me and the fam, but I still got 10 good bars out of it that I can sell... I made them smell just like the shampoo bars I made a few weeks prior. One thing I wanted to ask though... about the buckthorn extract. My bottle says to refrigerate after opening, which is fine and dandy, but when I added it to my beard balm, it didn't want to mix well at all. It fought me every step of the way. Now... that was before I even had to refrigerate it, so I can only imagine how it would act when cold and add it. Is there something that I did wrong? I'd like to use buckthorn in more beard balms and maybe some of the conditioner bars... I used nettle in my previous conditioner bars and that mixed in fine.
Hi, so I made this recipe and it did great. But I tinkered with it just a touch to use activated charcoal tea tree and bentonite clay. I’m trying to make a detox type of thing for oily hair. I replaced the sea buck horn with cucumber extract and added a half a tablespoon of activated charcoal and a half a tablespoon of bentonite Clay. Everything else is the same. Not heaping 1/2 tablespoons either. They are tacky feeling and soft. I could use it as play dough. My vanilla peppermint bars turned out perfect. Any ideas on how could fix it? I tried adding some more wax but then it didn’t spread on my hair as easily. Idk… If you get a minute I’d love some help.
Dear mrs soap n clay I love your recipe. May I ask what preservative are you using? Thank you for the recipe, I must order supplies to make them. Thank you again 💗
@@MrsSoapAndClay I had wondered during this vid too. Rather than avocado [because I don't have it ☺], could I get away with using Rose Hip or Meadowfoam? Can I replace castor for say, hemp seed oil? Just wondering. These are just curiosities and I could always find out on my own... it's just easier to ask. 😁 I'll play around with it.
Really enjoy your videos! I've been binge watching them all month to catch up to present. I'm a new soap maker so excuse the stupid question (if it is): Would this recipe affect color-treated hair any differently than un-color treated hair?
you know, I don't have a good answer for that! so much goes into hair coloring that it's hard to say definitely yes or no. for my part, I do color my hair and have never had problems with any of the shampoos or conditioners that I make, but my hair is pretty minimally processed, so I don't know!
Mrs. Soap and Clay-"Natural and whatever in the s#!t that means" I about fell on the floor!🤣 I think it was in your soap paste video. Have you thought about a liquid bubble bath using the soap paste? Thank you for all you do!
You can absolutely make a liquid bubble bath with the soap paste; I don’t know that I’ve ever done a video on it, but the formulation would be similar to a hand soap using soap paste, with perhaps some added bubblers like SCI or SLSA.
You could go either way; I would choose Optiphen over the ND for this one as there are more oils than waters in it and the pH range may not fall in the rather narrow margin of the ND. Have fun!

Your conditioner bars are totally amazing. And now that I see the recipe, I can see why. Rich, and worth every penny, every drop.

Thanks so much! I love your chemistry background aspect and how you explain the differences!
Great video - I can't wait to buy more of your soap once the site is back up!
Pretty sure I just got an email from you through the site! Thanks for watching - website is up soon! I promise for real this time. 😂

There’s a lot of construction going on in the background. I think I got most of it out.

Excites to try this one. My daughter and myself both have poker straight then hair. Nothing holds. Time to mix up the potion💕💕

Love the first one you gave in year one. Is the one I use for me and the fam.... And the girls hair is amazingly soft
This was so interesting, will definitely try it when l get the ingredients....thank you so much 💐

Im going to try it today, thanks so much 😁
Would you put broccoli seed oil in a conditioner bar especially for thick coarse hair, to maybe seal the cuticle?
Absolutely! One of my favorite oils in beard care, actually
Always always love your videos. What oils do you recommend for thick and curly hair?
Great question! I like Shea, castor, and avocado for curly hair.

I'll play around with it.
Very informative - thanks.
I'm going to try, but I m confused!!🤣🥰 thanks for the recipe
Where can I find these lovely molds? Can I do a 2 in 1 shampoo bar and conditioner? About the rubbing alcohol is it ethanol or something else
Hey! Mold link below, and the alcohol is isopropyl. Re: 2 in 1 bar, you can do that if you’re making a syndet bar for sure. Have fun!

Have you tried cooling to trace before pouring
I love that mass effect picture on the wall...
Same!

Woohoo hooooo! Recipe day!
Thank you can u make a recipe to help stop losing hair please
Can you sub btms 25 in this recipe and if so how does that affect outcome?
BTMS is the conditioning part (gives the hair the slippage), with the BTMS 50, there will maximum slipage as BTMS 25 only contains half of th.
what preservative should you use for the optiphen or optiphen ND?
You could go either way; I would choose Optiphen over the ND for this one as there are more oils than waters in it and the pH range may not fall in the rather narrow margin of the ND. Have fun!
You said e wax. Do you mean wax nf. Witch vegan wax you suggest? Thank you
Any e wax will do, really. Basically depends on where you live in the world and what you can get!
Shea and cocoa butter and very heavy butters I would stay away from them with thin hair
On their own, for sure! When blending, it’s a good idea to keep the sum of all the parts in a formulation in mind.
Thank you for another great video! What causes conditioner bars to do the sinky, sinky in the middle? Mine do that 🙄
It’s the temp when they’re poured. Pouring at lower temps resolves it!
@@MrsSoapAndClay I ❤ you! Thank you!
