Oh no so the cocomidopropyl betaine was 10% not 20% right? I tried making it yesterday at 20% with 4% sci and it became very thick 😃 will try it at 10%. Thank you ,if it's so then water in your description box should be more than 70%. Thank you so much Yaya😍
@@HerwrittenReview Oh thank you for that catch! It is 20% Cocamidopropyl Betaine. It will be way too thick with less. Sorry about that typo! The measurements in the video are correct, but the description was wrong. I corrected this. For this batch size of 8oz, 20% would be 45.36 grams. I just typed the percentage wrong. I am so sorry. 💜
@@HerwrittenReview Sorry I may have misunderstood. I used 20% cocamidopropyl betaine to 4.25% of SCI. 74% distilled water. If it is coming out thick, make sure you are checking your ph, the preservative you are using, and or fragrance you are using. These ingredients can change the consistency. I hope this helps. 💜
I was used to making solid shampoo bars, just made this and added 5 gr of honey, 1gr jojoba oil instead of the fragrance and a few drops of essential oils... this recipe is the bomb, thank you very much!!
Hi, when you work with SCI the final pH of your formulacion should be 6-8 cause SCI might hydrolysed. Also you don't have to dilute your solution to check your pH if it's water base. I hope this helps you, I am cosmetic chemist.
My grand pa used to use Bourbon for most of his inventions and it gave amazing results especially when you keep it away from the sun light for a period of time. You can keep on the roof of your house in that room on the corner with heatproof layers, because it might be flammable. And avoid water, if you have seawater that would be better to fill up 3 or 4 gallons and put them in the corners, to take all the humidity and keep the product as Dry as possible. Till the time you use it . Thanks guys 😍😘
WOW! You make me want to make my own everything! I'm going to school for pharmacy and your videos make chemistry seem so much easier to understand and make it seem so fun! I need to find these ingredients and start making my own stuff! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this base recipe…I’ve been wanting to try something like this instead of getting a pre-made base and adding to it. There’s just something that makes you feel better about a recipe when you start from scratch…. And the fact that you make it easy to understand doesn’t hurt either for someone of my age!😄💕
@@YayaDIYCreations I really really need ur help ! I want to make some alternatives : Instead of citric acid powder , can I use few drops of lemon or orange juice ,to lower the ph level ?
@@YayaDIYCreations can I add wheat protein and D pathenol ? Is it really necessary? I have thin and damaged hair. Does ur shampoo only clean hair or does it nourish a little ? Or do I have to add a nourisher to protect my hair or follow ur shampoo and put a conditioner to protect my hair
Thank you Yaya!!! This is literally what I wanted to make and I have these ingredients but just haven't used them yet!! You have encouraged me to have a go - you've made it so simple to follow
Thank you so much! I enjoy what I do, but I wouldn’t consider myself a master. There is still so much to learn. I am just happy I can help you all along the way. 😊💜
@@YayaDIYCreations GIRL STOP! You ARE! We appreciate your vulnerability to share with us, we're all on the journey together sis! You are SO appreciated! Thank you for EVERY video!
Thank you so so much for this basic recipe. I was seriously looking for Hope you will take us to the next step like adding oils and hydrosols etc . Stay blessed
YAYA...I AM SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU ! I HAVE SOME CATCHING UP TO DO WITH YOUR CHANNEL; IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I HAVE BEEN HERE DUE TO HEALTH ISSUES. BUT NOW I'M READY TO GET BUSY🥰 I HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH FROM YOU; YOU HAVE INSPIRED ME TO DO SO MUCH...I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS AND WISDOM.

Hi YaYa, glad to see your back after the holiday! Hope you had a great holiday season. I love to make shampoos, love to try new oils and extracts to see the benefits. I hope you'll cover solid shampoo bars as well. Keeping packaging low is important to a lot of people who purchase products from us! Thanks!
Hello! This is super helpful so thank you very much 🥰 Just wondering if the SCI can be replaced with either Decyl Glucoside or Coco Glucoside? Thank you so much!! ❤
Great basic formula! Thanks. I would still like to have the link to the shop to purchase the mini glass plate/saucer used at the end. Love them and asked in a previous post. Thanks again for sharing!
Hi Yaya, I hope you are doing great! I wanted to make a shampoo for cleansing my hair after swimming pool. Well I have tried your recipe, but I added o,45gr of sodium phytate in the water phase, and 27,12gr of cucumber extract in the cool down phase, obviously I do not have the same viscosity than you. So would you help me to correct the end result. I have thought adding some thickener like xanthan gum, but what would you advise me? Thank you Yaya for your help, looking forward to reading your tips.
Really enjoyed this video. Thankyou ! I haven’t made shampoo before so keen to try this one. Looks great. Is there another shampoo tutorial yet please🙏? Unsure about oils etc to add to it and amounts.
I would like to make a seaweed or kelp shampoo I just don’t no what the percentage would be. I also want to let you no how I love your video you are awsome
@@YayaDIYCreations also please warn people about SCI and having a dust mask! Super important! I handled it the first time without one and it was horrible
@@shvonneboudreaux Absolutely! I had every intention to mention this as always. Not sure how I missed that. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. 💜💜
My understanding is that SCI isn’t stable in a liquid medium, which is why it’s mostly used in bars. I make a powdered shampoo using SCI, didn’t add liquid because of the stability issue. I WISH you could use it in a recipe like this, but afaik this formula isn’t stable for long term use, and absolutely not for anyone wanting to make products for sale. Better to use another surfactant like coco betaine in a formula like this. I love the tone of your video, looking forward to watching more!
I think we need to go for it naturally. With the natural ingredients. To protect the Skin and give it more natural minerals, softness and a shiny surface .
Awesome video! Would you be able to do a simple video on beard shampoo and beard conditioner? I know you have a conditioner video currently but it's with CBD. LOVE your videos btw!
Hi Yaya, Thank you so much for this tutorial, you are so awesome!!! I love it, its so simple and easy to use. however, if I use hydrosol, how many grams should i use? and how much water is in the formulation? I hope you can notice me. More power to you Sister!
Thank you for this video! Do you have an recommendation for making a coconut/ nut free shampoo? Some of the ingredients used are coconut derived and I’m allergic.
Thank you. I've always wonder why I wasn't getting my shampoo to get the right ph balance. So you have to 10% dilute the shampoo in distilled water in order to get the right ph reading?
Hi, thank you very much for this recipe. I really enjoy your formulations. One of the trusted channels I look for when making DIY hair & skincare. Maybe in the future, you can help us use this base in making unique shampoos with different herbs & butters. Video suggestions :D
Can you do a video on pH meters, How to use them. I've been stuck using pH strips and I want to start using a meter. Do you always have to dilute all DIY's to a 10% solution to use the pH meter?
Thanks for sharing. Can you make a cleansing shampoo. I have locs and get more into wanting to make my own deep cleansing shampoos and moisturizing shampoos.
This was Awesome!! Yaya I have a question to ask you about a hydrating mist with aloe Vera juice and distilled water. Would I have to use a preservative to sell it? Idk how much to use I can’t find the answer anywhere. It would be 8oz spray bottles
Thank you! Yes! Anything with water absolutely must have a preservative. It is hard to answer this question because I can’t give legal business advice for items that will be sold. However, I can say, check the usage rate of your preservative. With most, you only need 0.5 to 1%. However, there are some that need 2 to 4%. Usually the “natural” ones need more. This is the percentage of your total weight in grams. You have 8 oz, which is usually about ~226 grams. One percentage (1%) would be ~2.26 grams. 2.26 grams equals about ~0.08 oz. However, you must always test your product for stability to see if that particular preservative or amount works for your formulation. It is harder to preserve products that are mostly water. Which mist, especially ones made with aloe Vera, are. I hope this helps. 💜💜
@@YayaDIYCreations Awesome info! Can you suggest the best preservative(preferrably a more naturally derived one that's a broad spectrum preservative) aside from Optiphen that can be used for liquid sprays like this? Also I have purchased rose water hydrosols before and the only ingredient was the hydrosol and no preservative. Why wouldn't a hydrosol liquid need a preservative, but other liquid cosmetics do...just curious? 😊
@@TheTif129 Hi! Hydrosols do not need to be preserved because they are formed from steam and steam is very pure. Also, good preservatives that can be used in your mists are sodium benzoate, germall plus and phenoxyethanol.. You can combine any 2 of these to extend the shelf-life but it most likely can't last beyond 6months in my opinion. Hope this helps. Blessings!
Mam optiphen plus alternative which is cheap and easy available in India ? Also can I be use in water base shower gel which will provide protection from mold yeast bacteria ?
Thanks a lot for sharing this 🙏 ❤.. truly amazing and such an inspiration. I'm trying my homemade shampoo recipe with raw coconut milk+Castile soap but I'm struggling with it ( keeps separating ). I did use a preservative ( germall plus) do you have any suggestions ??? God bless your business
You are welcome! Happy to help. You may need an emulsifier. Coconut milk is filled with oil. Water and oil do not mix. The emulsifier will help them combine. You may have to heat it up to do so. However, I do not know how this would change your ingredients. To be clear, it is hard to preserve food grade ingredients. If it’s for home use, you should be fine with Germall plus. It is a very powerful preservative. I hope this helps. 💜💜
Where I'm from, I can't get Optiphen, but I can get Phenoxyethanol. I did a research, Phenoxyethanol is one of the ingredients of Optiphen, but it apparently doesn't mix well with water, but mix very well with oil. Would this work?
Hi I’m very new at this. How would I be able to add my own herbal infused avocado oil into this? And how can I make a big batch? Can I just literally double, triple, etc the formula you posted? I want to make a formula that’s my own, but have no idea what I’m doing lol
I MISS YOU ALL! 😊💜
Today I formulated a simple, 5 ingredient, natural shampoo base that has:

✨ NO Parabens or formaldehyde

We will build on this base in the next few videos. Later, we will add oils, conditioning agents, opacifiers, and more.

You can keep on the roof of your house in that room on the corner with heatproof layers, because it might be flammable.
And avoid water, if you have seawater that would be better to fill up 3 or 4 gallons and put them in the corners, to take all the humidity and keep the product as Dry as possible.
Till the time you use it .
