I made my first set of your conditioner bars around Nov 17 23 and have been using it since! I have long curly hair and am in love! It took me a while to get used to a solid bar, but its getting easier! Just have to remember to keep it wet while running it through my hair and that works best for me. But i have to tell you this! I notice a HUGE difference in the amount of hair loss during conditioning and combing!! I would have to clean my shower drain out several times a week and now, its been weeks!! (That has NEVER happened before!) And my wide tooth comb that i use would be FULL of hair in a few days so much so that i would have to cut the hair off with scissors (gross i know!) But its amazing the difference!! This is awesome!! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!! Ive been sharing the conditioner bars with my friends and family!! And they love it! I tell everyone you are my fav soap RUclipsr and you are like the "Martha Stewart" of soaping (but meant in the highest of respect... not the jail stuff!) Thanks again!
I added a few drops of rosemary EO to my shampoo and conditioner bars and it helps thicken hair and stop it from falling out, too. I use Ellen's recipes on both for my hair.
Hi Ellen Ruth Soap, I am a retired guy who got started making cold process soap last year, I heard about condition bars, check out several sites, but yours is the best, I brought the ingredients and going to make my first batch today. Thank you again so much and love your work. Daniel D
I am relatively new to soap making, and find the whole process fascinating. I am also very please with the atmosphere of the soaping community as a group. the willingness of you, and so many other soap makers to share your skills, and to give credit to others is heartwarming.
I was converted to shampoo and conditioner bars about 2 years ago and can't imagine going back to commercial products. My hair is so much happier! I actually only condition about every 2-3 shampoos as the bar conditioner is that effective. I've been considering trying to make my own and now I just might give it a try. Thanks for sharing!
What brand do you normally use? They are so expensive that I don't want to do trial and error and waste my money to research. I would rather buy one that works. I am also allergic to regular soap so I am not sure if that wouldn't make me itchy as well🤔🤕
This is an awesome recipe! I've been using it on my hair for a few months now. It leaves my hair soft and shiny. Thanks Ellen for another great recipe!
I was just told from a subscriber of mine to check out your conditioner bars since I was making shampoo and haven’t mastered that yet. Great video. I’ll be making these next. New subscriber here
I just want to say thank you. I have learned more from you than all the books and classes I've used. You are such a great teacher and you explain why you do everything you do. Makes it so easy to watch you and to learn!
Isn’t she fantastic!!! You can tell she taught her kids at home, such a great teacher! I can’t imagine Ellen getting cross very often! I bet her hubby and kids would say otherwise lol 😂
What a lovely thing to say to anyone! I just now discovered her. Your comment makes me want to watch ALL of her videos! It’s so important to build up others with your positive reactions!
I just have to say that you have the best presentation when making soaps and things. You are the Martha Stewart of soap-making!! I can watch your videos all day long. thank you for sharing your skills. I'm a fan and appreciate you sharing your talents!
Ellen, I purchased my first shampoo bar from you a month ago and LOVED it. I just wish you carried conditioner bars for sale on your website as well. You have a new client for life. I found you through the shout out from Earthglow candles. I hope you will carry more shampoo and conditioner bars for purchase soon. Your soaps are amazing as well.
These are just gorgeous bars! I love shampoo and conditioner bars. They last sooo much longer than bottled shampoos & conditioners. I use BTMS-50 in my deep conditioning bars and BTMS-25 IN my light to regular shampoo & conditioner bars. I love all kinds of butters in my bars, eslecially Murumuru Butter. It does make a slightly darker bar, but it is an excellent butter for hair. Also a bit of Cupuacu Butter is nice. Thanks for sharing! Jill Gross
I’ve been making a 3 in 1 Shampoo, Conditioner & Treatment Bars for years using Melt & Pour SLES/SLS/Detergent free Soap Base. I add Sweet Almond oil or jojoba oil for a added treatment.
I am trying to make my own bath and beauty bars for my own personal use and got inspired to make them for friends family and then maybe a business for my small country town!! Thank you wonderful lady for your knowledge and inspiration ❤
I have the same scale as you do & if you weigh something in ounces and need grams etc., you can click the "mode" button to change to grams and it will convert it for you. Just thought Id mention that. It was a huge help for me. *S*
Hi Ellen, I have just made my first Hair Conditioner Bar! You are a genius! I absolutely love it!!! I used it last night and my hair feels absolutely fabulous and its shiny! Thank you so much for sharing. Huge Kudos from Down Under Ellen, have a wonderful whatever time of the day it is where you are. Its 8.23am Monday morning here.
Your videos are always so calming to watch. Splitting a batch for 2 fragrances is a great idea! Why didn't I think of that?! lol Have a great weekend Ellen! :) ~ Michele
Absolutely love this recipe thank you for sharing. I like to use this in between shampooing as it leaves my hair feeling so wonderful and light. This is great for my fine thin hair,,thank you so much!
I just washed my hair and had to tell you, I am still loving this conditioner bar. I have been making it for about a year now. I also make Aloe Shampoo Bar from Bramble Berry, formulated for hair, no lye. Using your conditioner bar with the Aloe Shampoo Bar works great on my thick, curly, colored hair. The shampoo bar lathers so well and takes very little effort to get a great lather. Your conditioner bar and the shampoo bar I make last forever. Thanks so much for this recipe.❤❤❤
I made this today, but I used different scents. Lady V and Mango. It was wonderful and ur recipe was easy to follow and left my hair manageable and glossy! It also rinsed out very well like you said. I needed to use a larger double boiler though!!! I also used the gm converter. Thank you very much. Our granddaughter will be helping me make your creamy shampoo tomorrow. I’ll leave a message on that video after we’re finished. Again thank you, wonderful recipe!
Wow! I love watching you with this complete tutorial, may God bless you more !!! I'm just happy that you shared every details completely and very undestandable ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing! I've been wanting to try to make shampoo and conditioner bars for myself (and maybe my biz). I love how you explain ingredients and the process.
Ellen, even though they are slightly clear, they look very creamy and Luscious in your demo. Thanks so much for sharing! I found out that blending some fragrances that are in themselves a blend can be fun and so good smelling to boot. 😊 Blessings 👍💕
Thank you for your easy explanation and recipe.I just made my first Conditioner bars with your recipe. The conditioner bar feels very nice. Thank you 😀
Ellen, I love your videos and recipes, I would really love it if you gave your recipes in percentages rather than grams so I could make them in smaller amounts without having to try to convert. Thank you for all your work
Very interesting to watch. The only thing I dont like about those round ones is that they are so slippery when they're wet that they're hard to hang on to and i keep dropping the bar in the shower and hard to keep ahold of. But I've used the conditioner bars my sister makes and they do work good and help after using the shampoo bar. As when i use the shampoo var it makes my hair feel like dull and weird, so i need the conditioner bars to make my hair softer and more manageable. I want to get some again one of these days. Thanks for the good video. 😊
I must say after watching your shampoo bar's these conditioner's weren't a disappointment. They looked just as good. And I loved the fact that you could leave this on, as my hair is really long and my ends do suffer , so this bar would be perfect for myself. So thank you again for another real good recipe. 🥰🇬🇧⛄
Hi! I love the strawberry shampoo bars you made…. It’s grown up strawberry shampoo scent! Excited to try the conditioning bars! I’m crossing fingers for strawberry scent!
Thank you for sharing Ellen. You’re an amazing teacher, so inspiring i do try your recipes for my own use. Im sharing my products with friends and family. Now i need to try these. Be blessed 🙏
I can't wait to try your shampoo and conditioner bars. I have natural curly hair and it hard to find something that works. The ingredients sound wonderful!!! I wrapped some of my round soap bars in the same coffee filters. Great reviews on those. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Just made with natures gardens pineapple coconut water fragrance. So yummy smelling and excited to use. Have an outdoor shower next to the salt water pool, made these to use after swimming to help condition my hair after soaking in the salt water 🤩
@@monikaykataria3838 for hair care you will use 1-8 % of your recipe. If the recipe calls for 2 gr of BTMS 25 and you are using BTMS 50, then you will use only 1 gr. I hope this makes sense, thank you
@@GenesisCespedes basically the number stands for the moisturizer concentration, so 50 has double amount compared to the 25. If the recipe calls for 25 and you have the 50, use half and viceversa, if the recipe calls for 50 and you just have the BTMS 25 , use double. In my experience it’s not exactly all the times so make small batch and test it to see how do you like it. I prefer the 50 because of our hair texture. Thank you
Thank you again Ellen for sharing this video,love shampoo and conditioning bars so much better than having bottles taking up room in the shower room xx
So thankful for all your great info, Ellen. I have been making diy plain soap for years. But your info has really upped the quality of my soap- and enjoyment. I am interested in diy hair care & I have all these ingredients so I will make a smaller batch of this to give a try. Thx!
Ellen I wanted to thank you for all your tips and teachings. I made your conditioner bars for me and to give away to friends and neighbors. We LOVE them. Could you please share what double boiler you are using? Thanks again from Texas 🤗🤗🤗
Really lovely tutorial! I'm just formulating my own conditioner bar at the moment, it is a similar formula to yours in places. Your wrapping presentation is ingenious and gorgeous too! Subscribed! 🌸
Hi Ellen, thank you for all your gorgeous recipes and your beautiful and friendly face on RUclips. I recently made your magnesium lotion and I JUST LOVE IT! I made this conditioning bar today, however I found the oils solidifying very very fast, even at 60* C it was already hardening with lumpy pieces and I had not yet even added fragrance and preservative. Your formulation looked clear and runny up to where you poured it. I add my preservative at 50*C, so I was so surprised that it hardened so quickly. It is summer in South Africa, so our temperatures are still 30* C daytime. Any advise? I am quite experienced with formulations, although I do not have formal training in formulating. Kind regards❤
Thanks for the recipe and for showing how it behaves in water. I've made some bars and they are so hard with no glide at all. If i use the liquid pathenol, when do I add this? I don't have the powder type. Thank, Ellen!
I'm new to making soap, so new I haven't made any yet, but this is the most exciting thing I've ever seen. I have watched tons of videos (this stuff is so interesting I can't stop) after three days I think I have a pretty good understanding of how it works can't wait to try it out. Anyway, what I would like to know is in your recipe can I substitute cocoa butter for Shea butter? Thank you for making this video I didn't know about hair conditioning bars
Thank you so much I am new to this and want to try making my own shampoo and conditioner bar s I appreciate your time and and everything you do I'll try this recipe I might change it up depending what ingredients I can get?
I went by your recipe, except i used btms-50, and olive instead of Avocado oil. But when i put optiphen in it become foamy on top as i stirred it. I waited until it was about 137 degrees bc my optiphen bottle said < 140 degrees. I still poured them in molds and i will see how it turns out tomorrow. Just wondering if i did something wrong that would make it foamy, that you could think of? Thank you! I love all your vids! And i have learned so much from you!
Its before i pour them and they got pretty hard. Its when i pour in the optiphen at the end, it made it a little foamy, so when i poured my 1st 3 or 4 the foam poured out with them. But all the others looked normal. So not sure. Maybe it was my optiphen. I purchased off amazon.
I have made this recipe and I love it ! Thanks so much for sharing Ellen. I tried to double the recipe but it did not firm up well at all. There is a lot of liquid in the mix after it has been out of the refrigerator for a while. Can you make any suggestion on how to save it ? I want to add some more hard butter but I don't want to waste it if it ultimately won't help. Thanks for any advise you can offer.
Great recipe, Ellen. Also glad you used BTMS 25 cos the 50 is so scarce in South Africa. I am gonna try these. For what hair type is it, Ellen? Thank you for everything that you share🌻💖😊
Thank you so much for sharing! What a skilled soap artist you are! What double boiler do you use? Also, is there a certain temperature your soap mixture has to reach? Or as soon as it's melted you know it's ready? I want to try this out but am scared I will ruin the batch by boiling it for too long. I appreciate any help you can offer me and will definitely be a long-term watcher!
For a double boiler, I just use a larger pot with water simmering, then set my container it that to melt. I don't take temps on this just get it well and melted.
Love your video & I’m wondering if it’s all right to substitute liquid vit. B5 panthenal for the powdered. If so, should I use the same volume as the powdered? Thx so very much for all your videos, we appreciate you!!
I googled it and they said to use twice the amount called for, then reduce the water by 2%. But, there’s no water in this recipe. Any ideas on what I could reduce by 2%, do you have any advice in that? It’s no big deal ‘cause I have some of the powder on order, but it won’t be here for another week or so. Thx, Ellen Ruth!
Hi Ellen, loved this receipe. I attempted to make it however my mixture I noticed solidifyed pretty quickly as I was cooling it to put in the preserative. Just wondering did I make a mistake. I used all your list of ingredients. Thank you so much Ellen for your brillant formulas ❤
Could I please ask do you have the percentage rates of the ingredients？ As I converted it to grams and then tried to work out percentage rates as, I only made a small batch. Many thanks
These are beautiful. I can't wait to try them. I love all of your recipes! Never any issues with them. One question, what temp did you cool the mixture to before adding FO and Preservative?
I just made your conditioner bars from the recipe here. Why does my batch thicken up so quick? Yours stays a nice and smooth and liquid. This happened with a different recipe I used to use? Thanks for any help! Ellie
Hey Ellen your videos and teachings are amazing 👏 🤩 as a new soaper...you do not have one visible wrinkl on your pretty face I'm amazed on your beautiful complexion..stupid question but do you use your own products?
Hello Ms Ruth! Amazing instructions and such a soothing video! If I may ask, What size label did u apply to the bars? I have everything ordered to try this! Thank u kindly for your generosity, yet again!! ❤
And u responded so fast! Yep ur indeed my favorite! I’m about to shop in ur website to show u some love ❤️ for allll the good things I’ve been able to create because of u! Thanks u kindly!

You might have been going thru a shedding phase. Hair falls out after a growing cycle.
I added a few drops of rosemary EO to my shampoo and conditioner bars and it helps thicken hair and stop it from falling out, too. I use Ellen's recipes on both for my hair.

What a great idea to use those exotic butters, love that❣️
Hi, what do you do to make the bars firm
How do you make the bars firm so they don’t melt or stay soft? Which product works for that within the ingredients.
I’ve been making a 3 in 1 Shampoo, Conditioner & Treatment Bars for years using Melt & Pour SLES/SLS/Detergent free Soap Base.
I add Sweet Almond oil or jojoba oil for a added treatment.
Love how you made these and wrapped them at the end!

Ellen could you make a Syndopour conditioner bar video using Stephenson’s “conditioning”Syndopour base.
Super cute packaging, and a neat multi purpose product! 😏
Thanks💕
Ellen, I ordered BTMS 25 from Natures Garden. When I received my order it was BTMS 25 & Cetearyl Alcohol. Can I use this in my conditioner bars?
Yes, I think it will work in this formulation.
@@EllenRuthSoap so do I still use both ingredients?
Sounds wonderful and easy to make. Love it!
They really are💕❣️
I thoroughly enjoyed watching your video! Thank you so much for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!💕
Ellen, I love the fact that you are always willing to share your recipes and know how...really appreciate you!. What size tape is that you used?
Thanks ❣️ it’s 1”
love it!! can i use BTMS 50 instead of 25? or that will change the formula?
Yes, you can use BTMS 50, I suggest trying a small test batch and see how you like the finish.
Thanks for the recipe and for showing how it behaves in water. I've made some bars and they are so hard with no glide at all.
If i use the liquid pathenol, when do I add this? I don't have the powder type. Thank, Ellen!
I would add the liquid version at the same place as the powder one.
@@EllenRuthSoap thanks!!! 😀
I'm new to making soap, so new I haven't made any yet, but this is the most exciting thing I've ever seen. I have watched tons of videos (this stuff is so interesting I can't stop) after three days I think I have a pretty good understanding of how it works can't wait to try it out. Anyway, what I would like to know is in your recipe can I substitute cocoa butter for Shea butter?
Thank you for making this video I didn't know about hair conditioning bars
If you're going to do a sub, I suggest trying a small test batch and see how you like the finish.
Hi Ellen, YT just recommended your channel to me . Just wondering if you had a video for beginners? Thank you so much
Glad you found my channel❣️ I have a recipe play list.
Thank you for your recipes! 🙏😍 can I use vitamin b5 liquid instead of powder ?
Yes👍
Thank you so much I am new to this and want to try making my own shampoo and conditioner bar s I appreciate your time and and everything you do I'll try this recipe I might change it up depending what ingredients I can get?
Beautiful!! Thank you so much for share it! ♥️
I went by your recipe, except i used btms-50, and olive instead of Avocado oil. But when i put optiphen in it become foamy on top as i stirred it. I waited until it was about 137 degrees bc my optiphen bottle said < 140 degrees. I still poured them in molds and i will see how it turns out tomorrow. Just wondering if i did something wrong that would make it foamy, that you could think of? Thank you! I love all your vids! And i have learned so much from you!
I'm not sure what's going on?? But sometimes these take a few days to completely set up for unmolding. So if they're too soft, just give it more time👍
Its before i pour them and they got pretty hard. Its when i pour in the optiphen at the end, it made it a little foamy, so when i poured my 1st 3 or 4 the foam poured out with them. But all the others looked normal. So not sure. Maybe it was my optiphen. I purchased off amazon.
I have made this recipe and I love it ! Thanks so much for sharing Ellen. I tried to double the recipe but it did not firm up well at all. There is a lot of liquid in the mix after it has been out of the refrigerator for a while. Can you make any suggestion on how to save it ? I want to add some more hard butter but I don't want to waste it if it ultimately won't help. Thanks for any advise you can offer.
You could try to remelt and add a bit more hard butter, just be sure to melt on low heat and not over heat the batter.
Thanks so much ! I will give that a try.
Great recipe, Ellen. Also glad you used BTMS 25 cos the 50 is so scarce in South Africa. I am gonna try these. For what hair type is it, Ellen? Thank you for everything that you share🌻💖😊
Thank you so much for sharing! What a skilled soap artist you are! What double boiler do you use? Also, is there a certain temperature your soap mixture has to reach? Or as soon as it's melted you know it's ready? I want to try this out but am scared I will ruin the batch by boiling it for too long. I appreciate any help you can offer me and will definitely be a long-term watcher!
For a double boiler, I just use a larger pot with water simmering, then set my container it that to melt. I don't take temps on this just get it well and melted.
Thank you! @@EllenRuthSoap
Love your video & I’m wondering if it’s all right to substitute liquid vit. B5 panthenal for the powdered. If so, should I use the same volume as the powdered? Thx so very much for all your videos, we appreciate you!!
I'm not sure what the concentration of the liquid is, but I would do the same volume..
I googled it and they said to use twice the amount called for, then reduce the water by 2%. But, there’s no water in this recipe. Any ideas on what I could reduce by 2%, do you have any advice in that? It’s no big deal ‘cause I have some of the powder on order, but it won’t be here for another week or so. Thx, Ellen Ruth!
I have to try these! I just put in my order 🥰
Awesome, thanks so much❣️
@@EllenRuthSoap ☺️
Ellen HI! Love all your receipts..thanks for sharing..i got a question about your conditioning bar..would it need to cured?
They don't need a cure time like soap, but I let them sit for a week before wrapping..
Hi Ellen, loved this receipe. I attempted to make it however my mixture I noticed solidifyed pretty quickly as I was cooling it to put in the preserative. Just wondering did I make a mistake. I used all your list of ingredients. Thank you so much Ellen for your brillant formulas ❤
This combo of ingredients does firm up quickly when cooled, it's okay to gently warm it a bit for a more fluid pour.
Thank you Ellen ❤
Could I please ask do you have the percentage rates of the ingredients？ As I converted it to grams and then tried to work out percentage rates as, I only made a small batch. Many thanks
These are beautiful. I can't wait to try them. I love all of your recipes! Never any issues with them. One question, what temp did you cool the mixture to before adding FO and Preservative?
Thanks ❣️ I didn’t actually take the temp when I added, it it was no longer “hot”, just warm…
I just made your conditioner bars from the recipe here. Why does my batch thicken up so quick? Yours stays a nice and smooth and liquid. This happened with a different recipe I used to use? Thanks for any help! Ellie
You can keep a hot water bath near and pop your mixture in it as soon as it starts to thicken..
Ì love your videos so much I love formulating thank you it's so profesional
Thank you 💕
Thank you.
Hi, thank you for the recipe. What is stearic acid for? Can I skip it if I don’t have one?
It helps harden the bar and make it longer lasting.
Hey Ellen your videos and teachings are amazing 👏 🤩 as a new soaper...you do not have one visible wrinkl on your pretty face I'm amazed on your beautiful complexion..stupid question but do you use your own products?
Thank you🥰 I do have wrinkles, but the studio lighting is very flattering on camera. And yes, I do use my own soaps and lotions on my face.
