Prepare to feel like you're sudsing up in a lagoon in Neverland with the mermaids; these seriously beautiful Mermaid Silk Shampoo Bars are just the sort of thing I imagine mermaids would use (do mermaids wash their hair? A question for another day, perhaps.). Super...

Coconut Aloe Shampoo Bars

These pretty, citrussy Coconut Aloe Shampoo Bars are utterly lovely—between the fresh, summery colours and the bright, citrussy scent I'm quite smitten. It occurred to me a few weeks ago that it'd been ages since I'd made a straight-up shampoo bar. I tend to use my...

Citrus Chamomile Liquid Shampoo

This request came to me from Kylee, who uses a similar one by Avalon Organics for her dreads. She says "this shampoo has the ability to clarify, which is what I need, and the aloe and citrus work wonders on cleaning/tightening dreads." The ingredient list for the...

If you're going to wake up and smell the coffee, you might as well go all out and incorporate the coffee into every aspect of your morning. I know you've got the drinkable coffee bit handled (and if you don't I'm afraid I can't be of much help), so I'm going to...

Shea Butter & Citrus Shampoo Bar

Shea Butter & Citrus Shampoo Bar

This is the second batch of soap I ever made, and it's become one of my favourites over time. The long curing time is definitely beneficial because I used as my hard oil (and as far as hard oils go, it's not very hard). I also used avocado oil,...

DIY Shampoo Bars

DIY Shampoo Bars

I've been making my own shampoo bars for about a year, and I love them. There's really very little difference between a shampoo bar and a bar of plain 'ol cold processed soap. Shampoo bars tend to be a bit more gentle and more lathery. That's achieved by using more...
