CC on Maui Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 If you use the SEARCH feature under the B&B Recipe section, you'll find all kinds to choose from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 It seems there is no real difference between a soap bar and a shampoo bar. I haven't seen a while lot posted here on shampoo bars but have read about them a lot on other boards. Some add apple cider vinegar to theirs or another chelating agent, but for the most part they are just mild soaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRosie Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I just found a recipe for a solid shampoo bar that got raves at the Dish. Excellent was used by a couple of folks to describe this soap.Edited by Bunny - Sorry Red Rosie, we can't post recipes from other forums, only link to them unless we have the owner of the recipie's permission. Thanks for understanding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 note that if you have hard water you will likely end up with a sticky residue (soap scum, really) on your hair. I recommend a (diluted) vinegar rinse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gloworm Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Does anyone on here use a bar shampoo? I did make one that got rave reviews (I believe it may have been from the Whisk) and it made my scalp flakey. Ended up just using it as a bath soap. Even scented it "Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific" for those of you old enough to remember that great old shampoo!! I loved that stuff.Glo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I now only use shampoo bars on my hair and have been for months now. I was skeptical when I first started to make them since I had used Burts Bees shampoo bar and it left my hair feeling like straw. Plus, I have always been a salon shampoo girl. All of my testers just loved them and feedback was positive. I love my shampoo bars too and now have trouble keeping them in stock. I make mine with lots of castor, co, jojoba oil and OO. I made a batch the other week and put Neem oil in it since I read it is very good for the skin and hair. Stinks to high heaven though. I am testing it now and even with only about a week and half cure time, it is very mild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all I've used for about a year now. I rarely need to use a rinse, but we have a pretty good water treatment system in our house so our water is really soft. I use an apple cider vinegar rinse about once every 10 days or so. I also use my own conditioner also. In fact I think the only real "cosmetic" type of product I BUY is my lipstick and mascara.. Everything else is something I make myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainmadness Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I make a shampoo bar and use it also. IMO- what makes them shampoo bars are the oils, essential oils and castor oil to change the lather properties from bubbly soap to a thick lather.There is a very apparent difference in my regular bars compared to my shampoo bars when it comes to the thickness of the lather.
