I didn't have time to make liquid soap.  We were  desperate for a new shampoo.  My younger daughter and I have hair loss problem.  It was a good time to try this new recipe.    After a long pause not making liquid soaps.  I forgot that the best temperature to mix oil and Koh was 80℃.   The  starting mixing temperature was only 60℃.  I then put the soap pot on stove under low heat to heat the mixture up till 80℃.   I then turned off the stove .


The total  mixing time was 40 minutes.  At the end of mixing, the temperature reached 102℃ as shown in the above  photo

I got my kola nut from Monterey Bay Spice Co.

Kola nut, powder  per pound(≒ 454g) USD 3.85  plus shipping cost.


11/27/11    We had been using the kola nut shampoo for few weeks now.  I do feel hair being healthier.  I cannot say if the regrowth of hair is noticeable.  I will update in the future if I do see great difference.
