Joyfully Home

Monday

First of all thank you Busymumof3boys and Trixi for your prayers. I am doing better today Praise The Lord.

We are painting the floors and they look so nice. I will be glad when they are done.

Trixi here is my shampoo bar recipe, i got it off the net years ago and do not remember where so am unable to give credit for it.

Pure Soap Shampoo

16 oz weight coconut oil

1/2 cup mink oil or (4 T. Castor oil (this is what i use) )

2.9 oz lye

1 cup water (8 fluid oz)

Oil room temperature. Mix and use lye when the water turns clear. Put all ingredients in a  glass bowl, annd mix well until all streaks of oil are gone, but do not trace. (at this time i add Tea Tree oil ) Pour into mold and leave for 2 days. Freeze soap 3 hours to release from molds. Age 3 weeks.

That is it, very easy. i use a plastic cheese container as a mold and i get 7 large bars. This is a very good lathering shampoo and we do not use conditioner with it. I have hair to my waist that is thin fine but very curly, and this does wonders for my hair.

Have a great day

Jeri

I like the sound of your shampoo recipe. Hopefully I can get those ingredients here easily. I'm sure the homemade stuff is better for your skin than shop bought.
