How interesting, I would never have thought that anything could be done to change a finished shampoo bar.

HI Leva - I know! I was so inspired by Nikas question I just had to try. :)

I haven't done any cosmetics for a while, and haven't read about other's try outs either, so this is the first time I ever heard about this kind shampoo bars. I've been using soap shampoo bars (also called just shampoo bars) for years now, and I am never changing back to "regular" liquid shampoo. What is the differerence compared to soap with these shampoo bars?

@Myrlande — thank you!

@Signe — hello and so good to hear from you! The difference between these and a soap-based shampoo bar is in both the ingredients and process. These are ‘syndet’ bars and use synthetic detergents - they are cold-mixed. They are also pH balanced to be as hair and scalp friendly as possible. A cold processed soap has a naturally higher pH and uses a different process. 😊

It's nice to be back, I've missed you all and this cosmetic commununity. :) I've just been too tired and busy to make any cosmetic of my own or even follow what others have made.

Actually I have never understood the fuss about pH balance - I have very dry atopic skin and itchy dry scalp, and they have never been better than after I changed all my shampoos and shower gels to home made soap.

My words exactly 🤗. And if one day the situation changes somehow I just need to find another solution then.

I'd love to know if remelting a hot or cold process shampoo bar is possible and what the method would be if you were to add liquid, extracts etc? Thanks, Mary

Hi Mary -- I've never tried this and am not sure it is even doable. If I were reworking a cold or hot process bar I would probably shave or grate it and add it to another batch.
