- Once completely melted, have it cool down a bit, then add in your essential oils.
- Then, pour into your mold. Wait around 48 hours or longer until they are fully hard.
- To Use: Rub between your fingers until it melts on your hands. Then rub in your hair. Wait a few minutes and then rinse off. For best results, keep bar as dry as possible.
Notes
This makes around 2 soap bars if using the same mold that I used.
You can make an infused oil with the coconut oil for a more beneficial bar. Calendula is great for hair.
• Essential oils are optional. Rosemary, lavender, and tea tree oil are all great for hair care.
• I personally put my bars in the freezer to keep them hard. If you live in a warm area, you might want to keep them cool or they might melt easily. You can also add in some beeswax or a melt and pour soap base to help keep them a bit harder as well.
