i think people dont know to much about this as they would rather spend big money on crap shampoo and conditioner rather than using great organic products wish they would catch up to us all on this i havent made shampoo or condtioners bars yet as i dont know how but im would like to learn on this .I make organic soap bath salts bath bombs kids soap alsoI have put out an APB on my social media asking people why they don't seem to warm to shampoo bars. I have a bucket load of foaming apple here (all the way from the USA) that needs using up, but I don't want want to throw good money after bad making shampoo bars that are, quite frankly, very expensive to make. I have myself and my hubby and sister in law that use them regularly and that's it. And i only need to make circa 5-6 bars per year to service just us three.
Excuses people use not to try them are:
1) My hair is long and thick ( and I guess there's an implication that it won't do the job?)
2) They go gooey in the shower ( mine don't - but I remember the Lush ones used to when we bought those)
3) It will ruin my coloured hair
4) I have sensitivities
5) I have grey hair and need special shampoo ( is this a thing?)
6) I don't want to buy a (big) bar only to find out that I don't like it, so if I could get a little sample I might try it (my cost price is just over $3 for a 40g bar, so I don't fancy giving a truckload of those away!)
7) I'm fussy with shampoo and i like my salon-bought brand (even though it costs them nearly $40 per bottle)
8) I only spend $3 per bottle on shampoo so i don't want to spend $12 on a shampoo bar
9) How do you store the bar between washes? ( genuine question, but one wonders what they are imagining...taking it out of the shower each time and putting it back in again next time you need it? I mean - where do you usually store your shampoo?)
Can anyone help me out here with responses to some of these questions? Thoughts? Ideas? Anything?
i need to find a simple organic recipe for the shampoo and condtioning bars in a pinch i have even used my own soap bath bars on my hair and i dont even need condtioner as i have really good ingredients in my bars also my hair is half way down my backsidei think people dont know to much about this as they would rather spend big money on crap shampoo and conditioner rather than using great organic products wish they would catch up to us all on this i havent made shampoo or condtioners bars yet as i dont know how but im would like to learn on this .I make organic soap bath salts bath bombs kids soap also

What are you waiting fot? I think you have all the necessary tools and experience to formulate the perfect bar! As for a "conditioning bar", I would forgo that. I use a drop or two of argan oil between my palms and smooth it over my hair, paying special attention to the ends, for conditioning, shine and to control flyaways.i need to find a simple organic recipe for the shampoo and condtioning bars in a pinch

@scmorgans FYI: I just happened to see this. It's best to put an @ in front of the name to be sure the member gets a notification.Question for Zany - you put Argan Oil on your hair while it's wet or dry??
My hair is down to my butt and I use a shampoo bar and some conditioner bar on the ends (my own mix). I made a beard soap that had men buying me out in 1 week! I can't keep that in stock, it is so popular!

Wet or dry, it doesn't matter. Usually I towel dry and put it on before styling but I also do it again the next day on dry hair if it needs it.
I should also mention, that castor oil is also good for hair (and scalp) and less expensive. I rub a bit of castor on my brush before brushing, wet or dry.
Could I ask what you add to your shampoo bar to make it a beard soap? Is your shampoo bar a soap base or syndet base?
Interesting Mrs. Bluing for whiter white clothes’ makes perfect since. awesome tip .Bluing or Purple coloring in shampoo whitens gray or white hair. It does Not work as a colorant it just whitens yellow cast the same as bluing in your wash water will do for whites. In fact, after WW11 when hair products were hard for salons to acquire they would use Mrs. Stewart's Bluing for hair rinses on their gray and white hair customers. I still buy and use it in my wash. This is why they make blue rinses but I always hated using leave on blue rinses such as White Minx because they would stain customers' hair if they had snow-white hair, so I preferred to dilute the rinse or use Mrs. Stewart's Bluing.
When I made shampoo bars I colored the ones for my use with purple colorant to help brighten and ward of yellow tinge in my white hair. I quit making them for sale because I simply could not sell them no matter how I tried to promote them. I had a few customers that loved them so I told them to just special order them from me when they need shampoo bars.
Thanks for bringing up argan oil. I was thinking of ordering it for my hair as well. Do you use refined or unrefined?I use a drop or two of argan oil between my palms and smooth it over my hair, paying special attention to the ends, for conditioning, shine and to control flyaways.
I just happened to add this to my cart while shopping at The Emu Oil Shop. Not sure if it's refined or unrefined.Do you use refined or unrefined?
I have the same problem. I have testers that try my products before I put them up for sale. The people who test my products are reluctant on the shampoo bars. I myself use them. They are phenomenal. My hair is baby fine, it's colored and the grey is coarse and dry. Since using this shampoo bar, my hair has bounce and it is a little curly now. I also don't have to use conditioner where before I had to, especially after coloring my hair and we know what a nightmare that is to comb out freshly colored hair without really good conditioner. I dont need it with this shampoo bar. I am hooked. My friend who tried it said it was good but she still used conditioner because her hair is long and fine also. I asked her to please try it without conditioner because with all the oils and butters in this bar, I feel it wieghs the hair down when you add conditioner. So far the reluctance is there to try them. and use them the way they are supposed to be used. Without conditioner. I only made one batch and I have 20 bars so I will use these myself and continue to make them for myself from now on if I can't sell them, at least I found something that works on my dry baby fine hair.I have put out an APB on my social media asking people why they don't seem to warm to shampoo bars. I have a bucket load of foaming apple here (all the way from the USA) that needs using up, but I don't want want to throw good money after bad making shampoo bars that are, quite frankly, very expensive to make.

I don’t have super kinky Afro hair, but I have been told by more than one Black woman, “You have Black people hair!”... Yeah, I would need to know if anyone with any type of Afro hair has ever tried a shampoo bar.
Show them these pics….she pays $150 for a haircut!!! (She’s nuts) She uses them when she has color as well.I have put out an APB on my social media asking people why they don't seem to warm to shampoo bars.

I was never really able to sell shampoo bars in any of my markets, no matter how I advertised them, so I would just make them for us.I have put out an APB on my social media asking people why they don't seem to warm to shampoo bars.

Interesting. I have hair that’s the length of my shoulder blades. It’s thick and wavy. I haven’t had issues with shampoo bars yet. What I was having issues with was a salon brand that went “mainstream”, and that now causes a reaction in my scalp. It also made a lot of my hair fall out. So I gave Royalty Soaps shampoo and conditioner bars a try.I have put out an APB on my social media asking people why they don't seem to warm to shampoo bars.
