Shampoo Bar, Day 1<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After I cut the shampoo bars<\/a> yesterday, they were actually pretty firm by evening. I fixed myself a diluted bottle of apple cider vinegar with a yorker cap (which Michele<\/a> recommended), and grabbed up one of the end pieces of soap on my way to the shower last night. I had visions of loads of creamy lather, leaving my hair feeling oh, so clean, and I wasn’t too far off. The lather was ok, but not as abundant as I was dreaming. Of course, what do you expect from one-day-old soap? I’m sure that part will get better with time. I did feel some tingling on my lips from the essential oils as some of the soap came down my face. (It’s possible I added a bit too much for a hot-processed formula.)<\/p>\n

The vinegar rinse was definitely needed at the end. I felt like I had to use a LOT to get my hair de-tangled. But then, my hair is getting rather long and unruly anyway! I can’t smell the vinegar at all now that my hair is dry, nor the rosemary. My scalp has been a bit itchy today, and my hair is sort of lack-luster – but CLEAN. I’ve already decided I’m in this for the long haul! Tomorrow will be better, right?<\/p>\n

Thanks for all the wonderful comments yesterday – they were great! I’m still open to tips on ingredients and such, as I’m sure I’ll be tweaking my recipe soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
