[darkchild16]

you dont have issues with his hair with just water?

[Greenmagick]

I stopped because I made them from total scratch (well, using oils and lye to saponify) With the kids I just didnt have chunks of time to safely do it (and was too tired at night). I am hoping to start again soon....liquid soap is harder and I never made it.

[Greenmagick]

It was a different chemical to use to make it...not lye like you use to make bar soap from what I remember so i just never really looked into it

Just. Nuts.

So kudos to the rest of you brave enough to face all of that. Lol.

Agreed! The whole hospital/doctor thing Scares me too!!!

We used california baby but then they changed the formula. I got Episencial this time, haven't opened it this time though.

I have to admit I only wash my kids' hair every 3 days anyway... it's never dirty. I'm jealous.
