Natural Cleanser
The purpose of a shampoo is to cleanse your scalp from excess oils, product build up and dead skin cells. So you do need to have a cleansing agent!
African Black Soap is an all natural soap made from locally harvested plants native to Africa such as plantain, cocoa pods & palm tree leaves. They’re sun-dried and roasted which gives the soap its rich colour. Water & oils like shea butter and coconut oil are added and the soap is left to cure. And that’s all that’s in it!

Pure Black Soap is made mostly in West Africa. It’s has a deep brown colour, with a marbling effect – and is soft and crumbly, not like regular commercial soap.
It’s known for having healing benefits and has been used to relieve many skin conditions including eczema, psoriasis & acne. Traditional black soap doesn’t contain any chemicals and is usually made from only a couple ingredients.

Try to buy authentic black soap from sites that source from local communities and are fair trade! It’s a natural produce of West African countries and it’s important to support the communities where possible!

pH Balance
The pH level of your shampoo is very important when it comes to the health of your hair.
pH is a scale of how acidic something is. When it comes to skin care, products that are too acidic or too alkaline can be extremely irritating to the skin and can even cause a burning sensation. Whilst your skin is a living organ so it can balance itself back to a healthier pH over time – your hair cannot. Hair can’t repair itself or heal from damage resulting from products that are too acidic or too alkaline. So it is extremely important to make sure the pH is correct in the products you use.

Your scalp’s pH is around 5.5 (acidic), so using products with a pH between 5 – 7 is best for most people.

Where possible I like to substitute my beauty routine with more natural, cruelty free products. You can watch some of my tried and tested DIYs here:

  6. ritika das

    Hi Elise, I have been following you for some time now.
    Does this shampoo lather well? Do you have a video on that?

    PS. I love your products.

  8. Neil Brow

    Thank you. Not sure if I'm doing it right but I poured lots apple cider vinegar in my shampoo mix and the color barely change. I poured to where there wasn't anymore suds! 😂.

  9. Z TV 101

    Can you make a "My hair care routine" Because your curls are defined and I need to know how to get my hair just like yours!😆

  11. Donna Grace

    Elise do you have a recepies for massage bars there are others that do, but I like your recepies the best

  14. SolDeFili

    My whole family ONLY uses African Black Soap (bars) for hair, face and body. It’s the best thing ever… seriously. We’re a mixed. family from Philippines, Brazil and Greece – residing in Australia. My small business actually sells authentic African Black Soap – it’s that good that I had to sell it myself lol.

    Love your videos! Can’t stop watching.

  18. Joy Davey

    Does it lather? Also, can you just use the bar directly without making it. Into liquid?

  20. Alicia Barrientos

    I’m adding an African black soap shampoo to my haircare line. But I dont want it to separate, at what point would I add the emulsifier and about how much would you suggest?

  21. Irenic Cryogenic

    Wait, I thought black soap couldn't be pH balanced because making a soap (which is alkaline by definition) acidic remove the soap properties and just turns it into a non cleansing fatty acid. Can you show a video of you actually using this shampoo to show that it works?

  25. EMPRESS KOFOWOROLA TV

    Watch out and enriched this soap with rose water and rich oils if not you get early grey hair my mum warn me but I said in my mind this village woman does not know what she is talking about because black soap is trending on youtube but now I am having grey hair when I stop washing my hair with it my hair went back black but I used it like 3 times again and my front grey hair is back.

  26. Edith Coy

    Thank you for sharing this information with me what did you put in the soap to make the shampoo please let me know thank you

  29. Diana

    Could you just put in cubes to freeze and use shampoo as needed instead of preservative?

  30. Rachel Bundles

    Hey do you have to dilute product to measure ph? Or dilute critic acid to lower ph before adding to product?

  31. B B

    Hey, is this a clarifying shampoo or moisturising one? Asking as you've put apple cider vinegar in.

  32. Kimberly Shy

    Hello!! I just found your channel and am in love ❤️
    I just wanted to ask if your recipes can be used by Caucasian people.. I apologize if that's an ignorant question but some of the products orgins made me wonder.

  43. Brenda Tan

    Hi Elise, thank you for your generosity in sharing the hair shampoo recipe. You mentioned adding Aloe Vera juice , is it the type we can buy from the supermart which can also be consumed?
