I thought I'd created the perfect recipe and used it all winter, but when summer came around--yuck! I think the change in humidity had something to do with it.Amy@10th Ave.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13287774801580108749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219510642613816473.post-50088953251877124332011-08-16T00:28:18.494-07:002011-08-16T00:28:18.494-07:00Amy, I LOOOOVE the scent in this soap.

I made another shampoo yesterday...<br /><br />Anne-Marie, Thanks Anne Marie!!<br /><br />Between Friends, Maybe in our testing... we will get to the bottom of the mystery? Or maybe, as for all of my alkanet experiments, it still remains a mystery? Would love to try your shampoo one day.<br /><br />Donna, Thank you for contributing yet another possible factor - wash frequency!! You are right. I wash my hair every other day... but the results could be different if I washed at a different frequency. xoxo JenJennifer Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12759161260648931612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219510642613816473.post-40632487554422120222011-08-12T21:02:38.008-07:002011-08-12T21:02:38.008-07:00Great review!

I also found I only need to wash every three days. Are all of you washing your hair with the same frequency ? Another variable to consider.Donna OShaughnessyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266654110280149719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219510642613816473.post-56941919237840230062011-08-12T12:53:28.348-07:002011-08-12T12:53:28.348-07:00This shampoo bar mystery is very interesting, and ...This shampoo bar mystery is very interesting, and it seems to puzzle soap lovers everywhere. I share some of my shampoo bars with friends here in Toronto, and some of them encounter the greasy problem while the other don't feel anything at all. Intriguing....Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03800748957962884713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219510642613816473.post-44054540870411495242011-08-12T11:39:04.281-07:002011-08-12T11:39:04.281-07:00Super interesting!

That,...That's what we'll need to find out! That, plus something to deal with the hard water...borax, perhaps? I have soft water, so this hasn't been an issue for me. When I took this bar to Arizona on vacation, the water was so hard there I couldn't continue to use it either. My bet is on the water hardness factor!Amy Wardenhttp://www.greatcakessoapworks.com/handmade-soap-blognoreply@blogger.com
