Guest guest Posted January 20, 2002 Report Share Posted January 20, 2002 I liked the hot oil treatment of warming a little hot olive oil and water up once a week for split ends. The other day I tried to do an avocado moisturizing mask for 5 minutes I wasnt as impressed as I thought I would be. It was difficult to wash out and eventually had to shampoo it out. I love chamomile in my shampoo and am planning to make a chamomile shampoo with castile soap flakes, rosemary and lavendar oil. I cant wait to make a perfume hair oil. Rinsing with AVC is great but smells. A spray bottle with water, honey, and lemon is GREAT for a hair spray, gel set. Erin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It ruins the color and clarity of the shampoo but it's great for the hair. I really like it. Deonia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long does it > keep? Thaks > So far it's done well on mine and a few friends I have given it to. I have Oily hair, so I also add Sage to my infusion along with the Cham and Lav, two of my friends hair is grey, one prematurely, and the other by natural aging and both of their's is extreamly dry. I just gave it to them for Christmas so i'm working with the feed back from them. The one with naturally greying hair likes it as is. But the one with the prematurely grey hair needs something more moisturizing for hers. So I took her some of my Macadamia Nut shampoo ( which is great for my African-American friends hair) which leaves mine so oily I can't use it, to try . She's going to mix it half and half and see what happens. Still waiting for feedback on that experiment. I also gave some to another friend who uses it on her little girl. Although I had to scent it with Angel's Kiss FO for her so she could smell nice . LOL The recipes are from Failor's book, making natural LIQUID SOAPS. The one I use for Caucasion hair is the Marvelous Moisturizing Shampoo on page 63 with a couple of changes. 1. I used Olive as my soft oil of choice. 2 And ,because I am not crazy about Lanolin, I omitted it. and added 2 more ounces of Olive Oil. 3. because I didn't lessen the ammount of lye I used, the paste ( and I always use the paste method) was extreamly thick. I wound up adding about 10 ounces of 91% alcohol to thin it down and cooked it an hour longer than called for. The resulting shampoo was quite thick with a great lather. 4. for the infused water I diluted it with, I made a tea using 1 cup each of Chamomile & Lavender and 64 ounces of just under boiled water. I let it sit all night long and diluted the paste with it the next day. It turned a funny green color, but since I make shampoo for the effect and not the color , I didn't care. I did, however, add some Pearl mica called Cloud White to it. that I bought from Soapberry Lane. I think I'm going to try the Revitalizing Rosin Shampoo recipe on that same page next for the cold cream finish it says it adds to this shampoo. Using Olive as my soft oil of choice or maybe Kukui Nut. Hope this helps you and if you need any more info, don't hesitate to ask.
