Liquefying your Black Soap

In my opinion, Black soap is the ultimate cleanser. You can use it to wash your hair, face, body ((which are my uses)), and also items like your dishes at home or other places around your house! Now I've personally never used it to clean things in my house (actually I have used it to wash some dishes back at school now that I think about it) but I've seen others use it for these purposes and have had great results from it. Plus, its all natural, you can't beat that!!!

Being that I have been using Miss Jessies Curly Meringue, which has a water soluble silicon in it, I've been washing my hair with my black soap instead of Co-washing when I use Miss Jessies. Not that Co-washing won't get the silicone out, I'd just prefer to use my black soap. When I use my black soap I like to liquify it. I believe it lasts a lot longer, and its more useful. Here is how:

1. Boil atleast 4 cups of water.
2. While that water is coming to a boil, I like to take the chunks of black soap that I have and break it down to very small pieces. Make about 3/4 of a cup. ((I eye all my measurements, but I wanted to measure for the purposes of the blog))... Some people also choose to grate their soap, mine isn't that tough or hard so I just use my hands to break it down.
3. Next after finished with the black soap, pour the boiling water in a bowl and add the soap. Put a top over the bowl and let it sit over night or whenever the soap has dissolved. If you do not have a top for the bowl, you can also use plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
4. After the soap has dissolved, your done!!! I pour my black soap into two old suave bottles. You can also add essential oil for smell. I used peppermint eo and geesh does it smell good. I love the smell of peppermints.

Side Notes: I get my black soap from the flea market in my town. You can also cut the ingredients in half if your not making that much!!!

Hope you enjoy!!
