Easy DIY tallow shampoo bars we use for EVERYTHING! 

Rosemary oil would be a great addition to your homemade shampoo bar as it stimulates hair growth. Thank you for sharing your recipe, I will try it.

I believe there is nothing better for our skin and hair than tallow. Just love it and I have a complete line of beef and bison tallow products from lip balms to shampoo shaving soaps and creams. It’s just sad that many people don’t know how similar tallow is to our natural skin sebum and how easy the body absorbs it. Thank you for the video. Love your baby.

Thanks for the soap recipe. I taught my lady friend how to make lye soap. We tried so many recipes, colors, and fragrances. It was such fun. Unfortunately, we lost her in the pandemic. I had no motivation to make soap. All my supplies are just sitting around gathering dust. Your video was encouragement to me. Thank yiu.

When making soap, I use ice cubes for half the weight of my water when weighing it out. That way the lye solution doesn't get nearly as hot and is ready to use quicker. Good tutorial!

I watch a lady in New Zealand, Dr Sam Bailey, and she went from using shampoos etc, to just washing her hair in Baking Soda (bicarbonate of soda). She said her hair now feels so soft and silky and she will never go back to using commercial shampoos ever again.

I am 67 years old and have always used Kirk's coco- hardwater castile soap ( made from coconut oil.) Kirk's has been around since 1829. Long time!

This is about the third CP soap recipe I have tried, I have pretty dry hair and I'm PICKY when it comes to shampoo. I want it clean but not stripped, but still soft😆 THIS WAS IT. I am blown away how in love I am with this! My daughters have greasier hair and sensitive skin and it worked phenomenally for them as well❤️✨🎉

In Turkey, they add almond oil for the scarp and for the hair

I have been making soap for almost 20 years, but I love to watch others for recipe ideas. You did a fantastic job explaining the process and safety measures. I have yet to find a good shampoo bar, but admittedly haven't tried more than a few. I'll have to give this a try. Thank you!!

Hey tallow is what my grandparents used to make soaps 😮😮😮 i always thought it was disgusting but now i know it's good.

Some Native American tribes used bear grease on their hair, and the English in Tudor England used tallow and a really high quality comb to keep their hair super clean…without water!

Hi I live in Greece and use my 3 or 4 year old olive oil. The left over oil to make soap. Fresh edible oil has low oxides and you need more, the soap will be soft and won't harden the same as old olive oil Hope this is helpfull

I'm currently only half-way through this video and you are doing an exceptional job. However, it is so hard to concentrate with your adorable baby in the frame. Don't change a thing, this is the most enjoyable video because of the unexpected surprise of seeing such a beautiful little person while I am learning how to make shampoo ☺

I made this soap a little over 6 weeks ago. I've been using it for 2 weeks. I absolutely love the soap! We use it for hand soap, body soap and also for our hair. It's really an all-purpose soap. I do love it especially for my hair! No need for conditioner 💯🤩 The only thing I tweaked was.... I cut the amount of olive oil in half and use shea butter for the other half. I really wanted a shea butter in my soap. And it's still turned out perfectly 😊

I’m really anxious to use this recipe! Thank you for sharing your recipe, experience and encouraging us newbies! Super helpful to have the tallow video too!

What an adorable baby. Love her calmness.

My experience mirrors yours and like you, I've tried all the natural shampooing methods. It's either gross and itchy dirty feeling scalp or dry, brittle breaking hair. For the sake of sanity and my hair, I eventually gave up and went back to store bought shampoo. Thank you for walking me through this process, I feel totally empowered now to try soap making and I will start with this shampoo bar. ❤️❤️

I'm only 1:58 into this video so far. The baby is so precious! How sweet! You are such a good momma.

I can’t wait to make this recipe! Thank you!

This soap making video popped up on my feed. I’m so pleased with your content, love your kind gentle voice and how informative you are. Thank you. New subscriber

I have been looking for one that works well. I tried some and was not happy. So I will give this a go. Thank you very much for your great help.😊

What a great video! Very informative for us DIY newbies. Thank you!

Fantastic! Love this tutorial. You’ve made it easy to make soap. Thank you 🦋

So proud of you for going ahead and doing your video,after your gorgeous bub woke up.🎉 Thank you for sharing this. It will be life changing for me.🐃🐂🐄

Thank you so much! This is such an easy recipe to follow. Your voice is so soft and friendly , and it is a pleasure to listen to your instructions . I'm definitely going to try this, bought some grass fed tallow a while ago and had not decided to use it yet. Well this is the tight time!!

I just absolutely love this video! I have a skin care background, and I’m just in love with the idea of making my own products! Forget all the toxic ingredients! Let’s go! Holistic health!! New follower here :-)

Thank you so.much for sharing. You have convinced me of the value of buying soap from local farms. I will support them in the 8 bars curing for a month

@From Scratch Homestead: thank you for keeping this video up, as I’ve finally received all of my ingredients for tallow shampoo bars. I’m so excited to make them. I hope all is well with you and yours.

What a good sweet baby you have there, she was enjoying her thumb and looking around and being so very sweet.

I love how you make the process seem so simple. I’m fairly new to the idea of using tallow but I’m definitely using some and love it. I’ve always been a “crunchy mom” years before crunchy was popular. But never had made my own shampoo or body soap. Thank you for breaking it down and creating a step by step video. 💗

Love your recipe and tutorial. Thank you for sharing! Your daughter is too adorable, she reminds me of my daughter when she was that age. Happy, easy going little soul!

I can’t wait to try this! Thank you!

Hi from Israel❤ Five weeks ago I made the shampoo bar by your recipe. It makes my hair clean, soft, shine and flexible. 🎉But I used an apple vinegar rinse. Next time I want to wash my hair just by shampoo. Thank you so much! ❤

9:18 minutes in and I'm just goosey and happy that I found you! You, Jim and the baby are such awesome craftspersons and chemists. Sincerely, your new subbie. ❤

I like the way you did this video tutorial. ❤thank you for sharing

Thank you so much! I've been looking for something like this!!!!

Ooh what a great recipe, I’ll have to try it! I’ve never been so careful with lye, I understand the danger and respect it, I always wear PPE, I’ve always used a Pyrex jug, and always poured half, stir then half and stir, then set aside to cool! Your baby is precious!! I was distracted by her every time she was on screen 😊❤

Love this, I have been wanting to make my own and now, thanks to your channel, I will be making my own tallow soap/shampoo bars, I actually purchased a grass fed grass finished tallow shampoo bar and never detoxed my hair, I just started using the shampoo bar and the very first usage, I was amazed and will never go back to shampoo again! Maybe I just got lucky? I have mid back length, long hair and natural wavy/curly hair, the tallow shampoo bar made my hair feel thicker and much much more healthy! I have been using the shampoo bar for about a month now and I love how my hair feels and looks! Thank you again for sharing your recipe for amazing tallow shampoo bars!

Great video, thank you! Tallow has recently caught my attention so I am glad you talked about it. I am hoping to start making our own soap as well on our channel, particularly laundry detergent

Good to see baby comes too. Makes for a secure adult. Thank you from a member of society.

thanks for this recipe! at 9:01 I also would not use metal spoon because it reacts with the metal wich I prefer not to. although it might seem harmless for the process itself. Its just an extra ingredient I don't want there. I only use wooden spoons for that.

I have used lye based soap most of my life as I am allergic to most of the additives in the "store bought" soap. Mom always made her soap and grated it into wash water for clothes. Dad and I both were allergic, I could not even swim in the river as it had to many chemicals in it. Thank you for sharing, I will have to try this with the different oils. Thank you again.

What a cute baby! ^_^ So nice to see a baby getting so much mama time. I'm really enjoying all of your videos. Thank you for making them!

Thank you for this great video. I have been making soap for my family and friends for over 20 years and have been wanting to try a shampoo bar and you have given me the motivation to give it a try… and thank you for the information on detoxing my hair first. Your hair looks beautiful and your baby is adorable.

The Wife (capital T, capital W) and I were on the North Shore of Oahu about 10 years ago. Took a trip to the North Shore Soap Factory in Waialua. That visit stuck in my mind and shortly after getting home I started wondering what it would take to make my own soap. Turns out there is a soap supply company a few miles away in Chandler AZ, run by wonderful people. Been making my own soap for years now and couldn't imagine not using it. Your list of oils is what I use for my standard recipe but my ratios are a little different. A relative asked about a shampoo bar so if you don't mind, I'll try to match your ratios to fit my mold. Thanks and take care of that little cutie in the back-pack.

As far as dish soap goes, I find a pure one oil soap with zero super fat works great. I have made using coconut oil works pretty good for me. One and done

I love shampoo bars. I haven’t tried soap making yet but your explanation was excellent and I feel like I could do this.

Glad to see the safety goggles on during the lye/ (TO) water segment.

I also use a recipe for hair with these 4 fats/oils - inspired by the bumblebee apothecary. I add nana mint (moroccan spear mint) and lemon balm essential oil, and also 2 TBS of ghassoul powder and 2 TBS of efficcient microorganisms to 1,5 kg of soap. I heard that some people put EM in their soap and thought I'd experiment with that too. My husband and I both love our hair soap. By the way, the castor oil also increases the foam in soaps that's why it's found in many recipes. Usually only 5%, but for shampoo bars 10% is better to create a good amount of lather. By the way, I render my tallow from fat that butchers give me for free, since fat is viewed as junk today. The easiest way is to cook the fat chunks in water and then blend them once they're soft. Afterwards one can keep them on the stove to simmer for a while so all the fat is extracted, then pour the m through a sieve. The first time, I cut 3 kgs of fat into tiny little pieces which took ages, but one can skip that step by boiling the entire cuts right from the start.

I have been using shampo bars for a long time, years my hair is very long and healthy. I've made soap many times too but I have never tried making my own shampoo bars, the recipes I've seen in the past call for so many ingredients that I don't want to use or would be hard to find. I love this simple basic recipe, the soap I have made in the past using tallow lasts a long time too so I think these 8 bars will allow me to give plenty away. Thank you for sharing your recipe.

Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.😊

This is great. You did a wonderful job explaining everything. I will try this recipe. I do have a few questions. How long would you say one bar lasts? Do you shampoo daily? Did you use a specific hair detox recipe when you first started? About how many times does it take to detox your hair before using the shampoo bar? Thank you for making this video! I use tallow to make a face moisturizer.

Definitely would want to see more diy bars: dishes, laundry, body :)

Thank you for this great video. Going to give these a try.

They really make your skin feel better.

Thank you!

That is an enormous amount of lye. It only takes 117 grams of lye for a block that size. I have made tons of soap. Also the lye is chemically mixing with that plastic jug you are using, that's why you are supposed to use unbreakable glass like pyrex to mix it in. Your hair looks great. I can't wait to try this.

Very well explained. Great video 😊

Your baby is a little angel! I’m going to try this recipe! New sub too!

Rosemary essential oil is so important to my hair. It is one of the best. I also but a few drops of jojoba with rosemary on my hands after my hair is dry and spread it into the ends. I oil my hair almost every day. I have think long graying hair.

I've been making this exact soap bar for years. The only problem I've encountered is the plumbing bills. It clogs drains after a while and they have to be rotorootered every so often. In the summertime, I've been shampooing outside in the yard and the plumbing bills have gone down a bit with less need to call the plumber.

Thank you for the demo and recipe. I love your Aga , and your baby is so lovely. 😍

Thank u for sharing. Love the idea of cold processed shampoo bars but my hair doesn’t do well with the high PH, and does so much better with synthetic bars. I’m inspired to give this a try tho. Thanks again. Beautiful family. 😊❤

I have read that if you use potassium hydroxide instead of lye, you can grate the bars and dilute them with water to make a liquid soap. (Unsure about exact measurement changes)

Did you know that lye was originally made from wood ash. You would need a very clean fire hearth and very pure and good wood. But, then the ash is put in water and the alkaline lye is created. Good wood must have all kinds of mineral and trace element properties that are good for hair and scalp too? This wood ash solution would work with pig fat too. But, thank you for teaching us that beef fat is so good because previously I had only heard of pig fat and lye for making lovely soap for hair and body.

You’re awesome 😎 Thank you for sharing this presentation 🙏

Omgosh you are speaking my language!! all of this is is great

Learned this process in school , isn't heating required for this process & adding salt ??

Did I miss the recipe? I want to try this with bear tallow. Im in Canada :)

FANTASTIC!! Subscribed!

This was perfect! Thank you 🙏

What's this doing to the drain after it hardens?

Tallow w oils ( thr tallow matters...a girl raises cows and makes her own down the road ans she uses top essentials oils in it) I had ezima on my hands for years that were red and well ugly..it's finally gone.

Thanks for this detailed video! I used to make my own beeswax candles, skincare, etc. I've always wanted to make soap, but definitely intimidated by the lye after I messed up my first trial. Excited to try yours for a while until my 4 kids get more independent! 😅 Then maybe make my own in the future!

Hey there! I’m loving your videos! Thank you, this was very straight forward and helpful. Is there any special aftercare instructions for washing rinsing out lye dishes? Do you keep your soap making stuff separate from things your use for food such as immersion blender and measuring cups?

Love your video and descriptions! Especially the detox for hair. 😊 so easily forgotten. Do have a question is there another alkaline to use other than lye?

Thoroughly enjoying your video. Your precious, beautiful baby is a joy to watch, and you are a great teacher. You have a relaxed, melodic voice, which is easy to listen to. thank you for this great information. I did not know how to make soap with lye

I’ve been making whipped tallow balm for facial moisturizer but yet to venture into soaps making. Thanks for the vid., I’ll give it a try. 👍

Your baby is toooo precious!

I want to try this, thanks for posting! I recently started making clabber, straining it, and using the whey as hair conditioner (among other things), and it leaves my hair super soft. I just pour the whey straight on, I don't add anything. So now that I've been pouring whey on my head, I am totally excited about trying tallow for shampoo!

Great video, I am making my list of things to buy so I can try it out.

I found a couple of wonderful shampoo bars; boreal folk makes a wonderful horsetail bar and found a wonderful one made with coconut oil and turmeric. I too had been on a long quest for good shampoo bars.

Por fin una receta para el cabello, mis felicitaciones y muchas gracias de corazón desde Uruguay para ustedes

Love this! Thank you! Came here just to say to be a little careful that putting the hot pan isn’t lowering the temp of your fridge too much (ESP since I saw that milk there)

Love it! Thank you!!

Thank you so much for sharing your recipe. I love that you explained everything VERY WELL STEP BY STEP. You are very Professional. 👍🏼♥️👏🏻 I already subscribed to your channel and gave you a like 👍🏼🙋🏻‍♀️.

That was fascinating. Thank you.

Very helpful thank you!

Thank you so much for this. I've been wanting to try a shampoo bar and Inspired to soap make again. Will you be exploring making a separate conditioning bar? Mostly for a 'no poo' days when you just want to condition. Thanks again beautiful work! 🙏😊

Love these tips. I haven’t done beet powder yet. Thank you. So interesting, about sour kraut and vitamin c. I do make that and bone broth. I also make a lemon raw honey ferment, a honey garlic ferment, and elderberry syrup with added wolf berries and essential oils. Val C

I'm rendering some beef tallow at the moment. I don't have castor oil but I'll play around with my recipe and make some tallow soap soon😊

Good video. I can relate about trying to find safe soaps. Ive wanted to make my own but was intimidated by the process. Now I think I can handle that. Thanks

I use egg yolks as shampoo, and I do a rosemary tea rinse, which I leave in. This tutorial was incredibly helpful, thank you!

You wouldn’t believe how easy it is to make Coconut oil!! Should try that.. wonder if we can make each ingred on your own.

Thanks for your recipe

I already make my own soap. Just as a little tip, I keep track of the temperature of the lye water(we also mix it outside!) And the temperature of the melted oils (for my present recipe) and your lovely tallow and oils. When they both are about 120° then I pour in the lye water slowly, not splashing, and mix it with the immersion blender. I have been doing this for over seven years and what it does is helps the soap saponify much quicker. I'm older and it's easier for me. Then I pour it all into silicone soap molds, not the bar mold. But I find most people use your mold. It's just a preference for my husband and myself. I will definitely try your recipe as my own soap is too heavy for hair washing. Live the addition of Castor Oil. I use the exact same Castor Oil on my face and body (even though it is quite sticky) a few times per week. I stay in the bathroom to let it dry a little and absorb into the skin. As I am older, the baking soda for my hair is too caustic on my skin. I do use a small amount of baking soda added to my washing, but too much makes both my husband's and my own skin get itchy. Everyone has to figure this out for themselves. Thank you so much for your lively recipe and video! Will be watching more from you😂❤

Fantastic! Thank you!

Been making my share of pastrami lately, always have lots of trimmed fat to save render down. Thank for posting: I know what to do with my tallow now beside using it for cooking. .

A friend gave me some organic saponified coconut shampoo and that was probably the nicest shampoo I ever used, however I stopped using shampoo entirely about a decade ago and my scalp and hair are both happier for it. It used to stop mid-back whether I trimmed it or not even when I never dyed it, and now I can touch my waistband with it despite regular trims and occasional blue or purple highlights, major reduction in split ends, dandruff and itchiness since I just do a scalp scrub under the shower once a week at the most. In the winter I still sometimes use commercial conditioner on the hair shaft but not the scalp (I still have leftovers from when I quit washing every other day, plus I use the stuff that comes in the box with my hair dye) or sometimes put a bit of cooking oil on the end of my braid when it gets dry in winter. My scalp does not want product, nor does it want natural oils stripped away. I know it's not the solution for everyone, but it seems to be the solution for me right now. I plan to get into soapmaking myself in the not too distant future so thanks for a great video. Only thing I'd be doing differently is putting on gloves and glasses as soon as I open the lye container and a face shield and/or respirator when I mix the lye with the water, stanadard laboratory procedures.

Awesome video!! Thanks !!
