The purpose of making homemade soap is so that you can save some money on soap. When you make your own soap you save money on soap that you buy at the store and when you make your soap you can make it smell like anything you want. You can make it in different shapes. You can even put objects in your soap. And you will have fun making your soap. I would add to this also that home-made soap differs substantially from the industrial one in high content of glycerine (very moisturizing ingredient, used in cosmetics) that remains as a byproduct of saponification in your final product. Glycerin is removed from soap in the industrial process and sold further to cosmetics and food industry. Also, by making soap at home, you can directly influence type of oils you use for production. While industrial soaps are made mainly from non-ecological palm and palm-kernel oils, you can design your soap using any combination of vegetable oils of much higher conditioning quality (olive oil, sunflower oil, shea butter...). Instead of water, that is used to dissolve lye which is necessary in the production of soap, you can use floral or plant infusions with healing characteristics specific for your skin type. By an addition of a number of other goodies you can design a soap that fits you the best. Also home-made soap is a perfect gift for your friends and family!
Of course! Black natural hair has different curl patterns just as black skin had beautiful shades ranging from cafe au lait to obsidian. Our natural hair can be anything from loose curls, coils the size of a pencil diameter, to a z pattern. The key is coaxing out the pattern and ultimately defining the curl by using the right products. Most black hair textures do not respond well to certain chemicals due to our hair's protein content; specifically alcohols (chemicals with -ol) because they are too drying, petroleum (yeah it is a by product of gasoline) and coats rather than penetrates hair shaft, Sodium lauryl sulfate (sulfates) lathering agent in shampoo also drying, and sili(cones). We need products which have MOISTURE! That's why naturals read conditioner and shampoo bottles we are scanning for those agents! Select products you find online or the many natural hair products popping up in Whole Foods and Target! Our hair needs a thick creamy leave in conditioner (key!!!), an agent to help retain moisture, shea butter, mango butter etc., and a few drops of a natural oil(sweet almond, jojoba, olive, grapeseed) or whatever you like for sheen. Also, try 100% Aloe vera gel for definition and hold if your hair needs it. Our hair is so very versatile, wash n go, coil outs, twist outs, braid outs, flat twists corn rows, flat iron( I dont place heat on my hair but it is an option), pony puffs, curls, or waves!! Experiment, find out what products work best for you. Educate yourself about hair care on youtube, join a natural hair group in your city/town, ask naturals you see on the street, we are happy to help you. Enjoy your journey!
