Omg, you read my mind Marie! Thanks a bunch. Have been working on loads of diy shampoo recipes that dint work , at last here it is !

You have a beautiful smile with each video I've watched, I like this recipe, thank you

Hi Marie! I found your blog a couple months ago, and have loved everything I've made so far of yours. Thank you so much for all the time and energy you put into each recipe. This shampoo is just luscious!!! I have really thick shoulder length hair and wondered if I would need a conditioner, but I found I did not! It dried soft without frizzies, and most importantly, it took the heat from the curling iron very well, still soft afterwards. I had none of these ingredients, so I had to buy everything, but I did all the calculations for each ingredient, and found that each 4oz bottle cost me $2.51, which I think is incredible for a high-end product. Although that does not include shipping (which right now was A LOT, but I won't have to reorder for a long time), I also figured how many 4 oz bottles of this shampoo I could make with each ingredient. The SLeS I may have to reorder after I make it 11 times, but every other ingredient will last many times. (If you really want to know on each ingred, just ask, 😃) Possibly my sizes of ingredients could be different from others, but I tended to stay with the size you recommended. Yes, I will have Guar Gum til I die 😃. FYI, the CCG was MUCH cheaper from Voyageur in the US. (Plus the Herbarie wanted $30 for shipping that one thing! )Silk peptides were much less at Essential Wholesale Labs and not sure if they were exactly the same as Mystic Moments, but they worked perfectly. I just had to make a few choices to not spend $200 for one new recipe 😃Shipping ran about $50 for everything, but I bit the bullet this one time and it was so worth it!!! Sorry this is so long, but I was so excited with the outcome, that I wanted to share it with you!!!

Your hair is lovely, and so is your makeup. Thanks for your awesome blog!!!!!! I bought your book, love! Love! Love! It. I made the creamy face cleanser for my 21yr &18yr old sons. They are quite happy with it. I also hosted a make your own party (before covid) with your book as inspiration.

Amazing Marie, thank you so much for sharing with us! I have also tried to develop some shampoo formulations, and none of them performed satisfactually... maybe I'll have better results next time, your content is always, besides amazing, quite informative and fun to watch, greatly inspirating!

Hi Marie ......I love all ur videos. I am a beginner in formulation......ur videos are so helpful to build courage for formulation.....I just saw ur silk and shine shampoo .....I have doubt , is that "hydrolised silk protein" is safe to our hair ?? and do i suggest shampoo twice a week,which includes hydrolised silk protein?? How often we can use silk protein involved product??

Hey Marie :) Thanks so much for this. I am trying to create a really good liquid soap and stuck to the principles of your video. What I'm struggling with is the Guar Gum part. It doesn't seem to thicken just as thick as I would like? Is more the answer?

Can’t wait to try this! Thanks for sharing. Can you recommend where to purchase the ingredients?

Hey Marie! Love this formula. I was wondering if you can help me because my surfactant is SCI and im not sure if I use the same amount as you since you are using a liquid and Im using powder. Thank you so much!

Hello, How are you Madam! GOD bless you for this kind work. I facing a problem that when I mix all ingredients the foam appear on the top and it stay till tow to three days. After this when it sit down, If you shake it foam would rise again. Please Guide me to solve.

I am so happy you shared this recipe. Quick question I have super thick hair and I wanted to know at what phase can I add marshmallow root and slippery elm bark to condition my type of hair. Thank you

This looks great, but my hair is thick and I wanted to add something creamy to support my thick hair. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you

Nice u are always rock please tell me can I add dye in this for instant dye guide me or tell us instant hair dye shampoo recipe

Thanks for these valuable content..how to incorporate EGMS (as pearlizer) into a cold process shampoo that contains non sulphate surfactants..can i heat EGMS along with surfactants phase??

Wow ur looking gorgeous. I would love to try ur every recipes but sigh ingredients not available 😑

Can tell about the measurement, how much polysorbate 80 and polysorbate 20 i need to make this shampoo. Thanks for the reply. I really appreciate it.. God bless!!

Hi can you tell me which of these ingredients adds shine to the hair???

Looks very inviting

Hi Marie, greetings from Malaysia. I love watching your videos and this one especially caught my interest. I’ve got all the ingredients ready for this shampoos and can’t wait to try the recipe. I have a question though regarding the SLeS ASM. The one I have is a thick gel consistency - bottle states 70% active. Please advice if I should get the SLeS with a lower ASM or if there’s a way I can dilute the one I have. Thanks so much. Looking forward.

What’s the difference between germall plus and optiphen plus ?

Hey Marie, Can u Show us how to make skin tanner, please🙏🏻

Also my vote is for shampoo bars;)

Very beautiful your hair

One more thing, can I make this more thick, like the shampoo in the market, or better yet you can make please a shampoo including a polysorbate 20 and polysorbate 80 and more thick

Can I use Coco betaine in place of Cocomidopropyl betain? Will there be difference in the result?

I can't find olivem300 in the Philippines, so I subtitute it with polysorbate 80 for emulsify all the ingredients and polysorbate 20 emulsify the fragrance, my problem is the measurement, can you enlighten me

Marie when I do my shampoo ,and put in a bottle,the container commence to swallow, and when I open has gas.i am sad

Thank thank you

Hey! Which preservatives are good for this formulation?

How to increase foam in shampoo? Untill I use decyl Glucoside, cocomidopropyl betaine. I tried adding iselux powder but it's not mixing well and liquid is not available in India. Please help any plant based foam booster in liquid foam? Is caprylyl Glucoside is a foam booster? Please reply.

Mam can we add in this EDTA for stability

Hi Marie. I tried making this lovely shampoo, with sles, asm unknown! However the surfactants turned into thick, difficult to stir kind of jelly. What do you suggest would be the issue? BTW I got your amazing book. Can't wait to start off with it

Wonderful tutorial. I read the blog post as I was interested to know what the pH level was for this formulation but I didn't see anything on that. Did you test the pH for this shampoo?

Can i replace capryl glucoside with coco glucoside because dat thing is not available in my country

instead of distilled water can I use Coconut water?

Hi marie thanks for sharing this i want to make this shampoo i have all the ingredients except capryl glucoside so please suggest me a substitute of capryl glucoside in this recipe

Good afternoon! Do you have a diy eyelash serum (preferably without oils)? Thank you in advance!

Hey Marie! Good stuff from you as always. SLS is an irritating surfactant as we see in most of the commercial shampoos. Can we replace it with a natural one but the one that turns out to be foamy

Hi dear can you show how to make Onion gel & Onion shampoo .thanks In advance

How can i extract silk protein??

When you leave the final product to thicken, do you close the beaker or better leave it open? Thank you :)

What other gums can be used?

How would I be able to incorporate sea buckthorn fruit oil in this without compromising the formulation? I prefer not to use dyes

Maybe we can use liquid castille soap instead of the sls?

I finally got the SLeS in gel form. Its so thick and hard to dissolve. Is that what I use for the 33% SLeS or does it need to be diluted? Your SLeS looks to easy to dissolve.

Hi! I wanted to ask if this shampoo is suitable for very oily hair. I do an oil treatment before washing my hair. Wouldn’t want to waste making this if it won’t remove all the oil. And also using normal guar gum, will it affect the end product? Thank you so much!

☺♥

Thank you so much can I cancel the gum from the formula

So we don't always need to heat our formulations that contain powder ingredients?

Can anyone help me to solve my problem? I made a natural shampoo with coco-glucoside and coco betanin. as you know coco-glucoside is a high PH surfactant. its PH is around 12. Therefore, to reduce the pH of the final product, I had to add some lactic acid to it until it was stabilized at 5.5. But unfortunately, when the pH of the solution decreases, its foaming rate also decreases, so that it almost does not foam at a pH of 5.5. How should I solve this problem?

Hi what ingredients do i need to make my liquid shampoo become shiny liquid.

To make more can this recipe be double or tripped?

Hi Can we use preservative eco in this formulation

Wait... I admit I still have a LOT to learn about surfactants and understanding charges.... but I'm confused here.... I thought you weren't supposed to mix certain charges (yes I have read what you wrote on them) and this formulation has Cationic Guar Gum, Anionic SLeS, and non-ionic carprylyl/capryl Glucoside.... Im confused. 😕 This is making my attempt at Subbing surfactants extremely overwhelming 😢 My current struggle is my need to make a shampoo asap because I refuse to buy one for my family when I have told them I will make them now and have spent more than I care to on ingredients... and I am still struggling HARD to make my own formulation, so I am trying make one of yours (but you only have 2) this one I don't have SLeS and don't want to mix the wrong charges yet there are many different charges in this one. Amd the rose and silk most recent one I don't have siligel and don't want to sub with hydroxyethylcellulose because I want to use a fragrance. And I'm not experienced or knowledgeable enough to mix my own gums.... so in thinking of trying Sepimax Zen but it can't be mixed with anything cationic, so I'm currently looking into every ingredient to make sure it won't interact.... and hope my fragrance doesn't react with anything negatively.

Today.. I was going thru my self use. Products.. Hit stop.. No shampoo

Can I use xanthan gum instead of Cationic guar gum.

is there something that i can use in place of sls?

👍🌹🌷💕

Can we make this shampoo sulphate free?

all surfactant are synthetic?

no heating was required?

Can I add fragrance to this one?

Hello

What about ph?

Marie Can i use HEC instead of Gaur gum ?
