Having naturally curly, coily hair, it’s often a struggle to find a shampoo that does a great job of cleansing, but also doesn’t leave the hair feeling dry and stripped of its natural oils. #curlygirlproblems #amirite? 🤷🏽‍♀️ Enter African black soap ⏤ it does an amazing job at cleansing, AND not leaving your hair squeaky and dry. Make african black soap shampoo and keep your curls and coils healthy and moisturized.

What you need

Black African soap

  • Cleanses without stripping the natural oils, which normally cause dry hair and scalp
  • Rich in vitamins A and E
  • Promotes healthy hair

Olive oil

  • Stimulates hair growth
  • Is a natural hair conditioner
  • Adds shine

Vegetable glycerin

  • Is known as a humectant, and is great at moisturizing
  • Promotes hair growth
  • Strengthens and prevents breakage

Lavender essential oil

  • Has cleansing properties
  • Known for its antibacterial, antimicrobial and antioxidant properties
  • Fresh, calming fragrance

Rosemary essential oil

  • Discourages hair loss
  • Nourishes the scalp and promotes hair growth
  • Increases hair thickness

Distilled water

  • The best option for the cleanest African black soap shampoo possible
  • If you don’t have distilled water, filtered water is a close second
  • It doesn’t contain any of the nasty minerals found in tap water

Air-tight container

  • Nozzle makes for easy application
  • I’ve repurposed a sauce bottle I had laying around the kitchen, but if you don’t have one, you can order something similar (linked above)
  • Repurposing old bottles is an easy way to be more eco-friendly
Make african black soap shampoo

How to make

  1. Boil 1 cup of Distilled water
  2. Meanwhile, chop or grate 2 tbsp (or 1 oz) of Black African soap into small pieces
  3. Add bits of soap to a heat-safe air-tight container (I’ve used a jar)
  4. Shake to combine
  5. Allow to sit for 15 minutes, or until the soap has completely dissolved
  6. Once you no longer see soapy bits floating around, it’s ready
  7. Open up your air-tight container (I’ve used a nozzle applicator bottle) and add a funnel
  8. Next add 10 drops each of Lavender and Rosemary essential oils
  9. Followed by 1 tbsp each of Vegetable glycerin and Olive oil
  10. Finally, add the soap mixture
  11. Add the nozzle to your air-tight container, make sure it’s closed and shake to combine
  12. All done!

Ways to use

  • Give it a good shake before use
  • Apply to wet hair and scalp and work into a lather
  • Repeat as needed
  • Enjoy!
  • Try this deep conditioner once you’re done shampooing
