in spite of all the negative comments I've read about CP shampoo, as I already discussed I simply love it, so I've been trying to make different recipes to feel the difference and choose which one is best for my hair.
The one I present today is taken from this amazing book, and modified as usual to suit my needs and the ingredients I had at hand. I haven't tried it yet, so I don't know if it's going to be any good (even though I've read many people who use it and love it), but so far it's still curing but it smells wonderful, plus it is becoming nice and hard, so I have high expectations for it. ;)
Here we go:
EGGCELLENT
 |
| egg yolk solid shampoo |
13,6% creamed coconut 100g (of which 68g of fats and 32g of water)
7% shea butter 35g
5% wheatgerm oil 25g (at trace)
67g lye (5% discount)
118g water
at trace I added: one egg yolk mixed well and whisked with the wheat germ oil (I made it into some kind of creamy mixture), lemon, tea tree and rosemary EOs.
It took about 12 hours to become solid, but it needed a little freezer to come out of the mould. It went through gel, and it become kind of greenish after 24 hours, but in a couple of days it turned back to while-yellowish as you can see it in the picture above.
I will keep you posted on the result as soon as I try it.
A quick update: this soap turned out to be FANTASTIC both as a shampoo and as a body soap. It still smells great after months and leaves my hair and skin silky smooth. I greatly recommend it!
