I'm trying to develop a line of shampoo bars and I need your input. I have a great basic recipe to play with, and I am trying to decide on what herbs & essential oils, etc I should add. What are your favourite smells for your locks? eg: lavender, peppermint, patchouli...any essential oil you like Do you have issues with any of the following: dandruff dry scalp and/or itchy scalp oily dreads/hair dry and/or brittle dreads/hair damaged dreads/hair from dying/bleaching smelly dreads from work, cigarettes, etc mould/fungus from wet dreads All my soaps will be vegetarian friendly, but who would prefer a vegan friendly shampoo bar? Thanks for your feedback!
I always liked scentless soaps myself but if i had to choose a scent it would have to be lavender, nothing more stimulating to the senses then lavender for me, as for vegan soap, never tried it but if there was some around i probably would, id say for me im one of the ones who jumps between oily scalp and dry scalp, winters i get dry scalp for some reason (maybe from the electric heat) and summer i get oily as heck. I often wonder if sage could be used as a scent, but from what ive heard the oils are rough on skin, what do you think?? Not to get off topic but i noticed your screen name is bcmama, you ever been to nelson or the shambhala music festival??
Hi there! I think what your doing is great! I would prefer a vegan bar with lavendar scent. Actually...would lavendar/peppermint work? I bet that would smell nice. I like real earthy smells. AS far as my dread issues, I have real bad dandruff and itchiness. My partner has mold issues when his dreads are wet....they smell like wet dog. Its pretty gross. What would work for that? tea tree oil? Maybe a tea tree oil based vegan bar would work on his dreads. Anywhoo.....lemme know when youve perfected the art and I'll def try some!
dry n flakety when i blow dry which i gottas in winter my dreads get dreally dry and stiff almost hard teatree and rosemary i like patchouli too almond are they hemp based? id preffer hemp based
Rose scents always do it for me. As does Lavendar. Some shampoo to make dreads less dry would be cool I'm getting rid of the bleach and need soft locks
tea tree and lavender have been shown to have estrogenic properties and thus as a bloke I try to avoid them. I like melon scented things but i don't think there's a melon oil.
i havent smelled many of those things, and i have trouble describing smell, but i will post when i know what it is. i get annoyed by mild dandruff or mild itchy scalp at times, but a wash fixes it. you might as well go vegen with your soap so you dont cut out a group of potential buyers
i have bad dandruff, and i have some soap now that smells like pecan pie or something of the sort. its amazing. but basically anything thats all natural. tea tree oil, and various oils. hemp stuff is good.
I like the smell of green tea. VO5 has a green tea shampoo and I buy it becuase it smells so orgasmic.
Ohh sounds awesome I'll give those a try ^^ I'd prefer a vegan one And rose or lavender would be awesome... Or something orangey?! xD I wish I could smell all the oils in Holland and Barrett!! I occasionaly have a problem with dandruff but I dont know whether thats because of my dreadheadHQ shampoo... I think I have a little mold in a few, but I'm not sure... It doesn't smell, but something that could get rid of it/ prevent it would be perfect
I like different scents for different seasons because I'm lame like that ^-^ I'm just finishing a christmasst cinnamon shampoo bar-yummy! you could put some myrhh (i love that smell) for summer, I like light and zesty scents like sweet orange or lemon. Autumn; sandalwood and tea-tree. spring; rose <333 haah this will be fun! I suggest cocoa butter to moisturise them
I have really dry dreads from where i bleached my hair late 2007 from red to white I would love to buy some when your done with it. it sounds awesome. Please keep me posted. Good luck
