I made the transition in two weeks. My hair felt very oily and strange at first, but after that time, ti got so healthy and shiny, people started asking me what shampoo I use! Now I am super happy with my hair, it's soft, shiny, touchable, and my scalp is healthy and free of dandruff. I make my own shampoo bar. I just make sure never to use palm oil, because of the Orangutans. I only use local sourced oils, and they're even cheaper, so it's a win-win.
@@comedybysamirdadi6595 I used Soapcalc to get the recipe. It's an online calculator. You input the oils you want to use, and the calculator gives you the correct amount of water and lye. I played with soapcalc for days, testing all variety of oils and proportions, until I found one I could actually make and that would suit my needs. Just google Soapcalc and have fun!
I recommend using a regular shampoo with sulfate and NO SILICONE the last time you shampoo before going to a bar soap. It’s what we also do when starting the Curly Girl Method, which uses either low poo - bars or shampoos without sulfate, or just wash with conditioner. The reason is that we want to get rid of the silicone as much as we can before transitioning, because it’s in most commercial shampoos and conditioners these days, and it does NOT wash out without sulfates. Also, you need to avoid any kind of styling product that has silicones, or it will build up.
Wow that is beautiful.. thanks for sharing... as I am starting my own natural hair products and I wanted to add some shampoo bars to it..this is a great idea..so am going to have ago at making my own..
Hi, Geoffrey. It is possible to buy ph test strips which will show you by color the ph of your cured soap. You can also use the Brambleberry Lye calculator to run your recipe through and it will give you the appropriate amounts of lye and water to add, based on your oils.
You can use Purple Cabbage to test the ph of you cured soap. See the article here: www.soapqueen.com/bath-and-body-tutorials/tips-and-tricks/test-ph-red-cabbage/
The apple cider vinegar has to be organic with "the mother". You apply it after shampooing, then rinse with COLD water. It should make the hair shiny and the scent of the vinegar does not linger.
It is very nice if the vinegar is organic and stuff, but it doesn't really "has" to be. I couldn't find organic vinegar with the mother in my country, so I just went with ol' plain cider vinegar, not very fancy and all. It worked the same. It took me months to finish my bottle, because I used just a small amount, and rinsed with room-temperature water. My hair looked and smell amazing. The vinegar smell didn't linger at all. It works just to help your scap adjusting the pH.

How do you ensure the pH of soap and how do you get different pH values for different soaps? It's something that confuses me...
