Instructions
Bring the water to the boil. Reduce heat to a very low setting.
Add the soap flakes and let sit, stirring occasionally, until dissolved.
Remove from heat and stir in a 1/4 cup of vegetable glycerin.
Let cool.
Add the few drops of essential oils or lemon juice. Use just enough to give the shampoo a slight aroma.
Pour into the squeeze bottle or container.
The shampoo will be watery.
For a thicker or thinner shampoo, adjust the amount of soap flakes. Don't use too much soap or the shampoo will turn into solid soap.
