Castile Soap

Okay, silly question but can castile soap be used as a CG friendly shampoo?

I love Jessicurl HCC, Jessicurl Too Shea, KCKT, KCCC, CK and HESMU...but it took a LOT of trial error to get to these products that consistently work for ME.

Low porosity, medium texture.

If it smells good put it in your hair, if it tastes good spit it out!
Got a sample of this castile soap shampoo today - it's made by a small company
http://www.17thcenturysuds.com/index.html
has olive oil, jojoba, and sodium hydroxide (lye)
was wondering what people think of it for washing hair - curious if I should still dilute it..... since it doesn't have additives/is not dr bonner's
the woman who makes it was very nice but not so helpful w- hair routines..... she says you don't need conditioner w- this this soap b/c it's not drying and doesn't strip hair....... i don't think she takes into account that her hair is straight
any thoughts, suggestions?

I do like to use castille soap on my body though.
Hi
the one I was referring to is not a hard soap..... it's a liquid shampoo
does the pH rule still apply??
thanks!

Possibly. The process of turning oil into castille also creates a high PH. Some sort of acid must be added to bring down the PH. You'd have to test it, or ask the manufacturer what the PH is.
the only time it won't do well is with tons of heavy stuff but then maybe i should have used it full strength that time
i feel that using this, alog with my medicated shampoo (which i hardly use anymore) i don't need any other shampoo..... in august i was rotating several..... now i shampoo only every 2-3 weeks....
