Shampoo is basically used world wide to clean and protect the hair from damages. The African black shampoo is mostly used especially by the blacks folks who avoid relaxers. It is believed to keep the African string natural hair.

DUDU-OSUN black soap
The African black soap is actually the product of Africa (West and East Africa mostly) and produced by old women mostly in local villages. They would make this soap using all natural ingredients such as cocoa pod ash, plantain peel ash, cam-wood, palm oil, shea butter and a couple of ingredients. It is soapy and cleans very well.

The locally made black soap

I made an African black shampoo yesterday and I appreciated the outcome . For the first time my natural hair became very soft and dark. I'm also using it as face wash.

The result

The idea of the DIY African black shampoo is to get a different result from other products I’ve used and I find it amazing. There are many chemically Nigerian made shampoos which the damages hair, however trying this DIY shampoo is an absolute solution. Okay let's try my formula.

Vegetable glycerine

The Ingredients.

  1. 1 litter of purified or boiled water
  2. One Africa black soap ( I used Tropical natural “Dudu-Osun”, black soap)
  3. Half piece of locally made black soap
  4. 2 tablespoon of natural honey
  5. 2 tablespoon of vegetable glycerine
  6. 2 tablespoon of coconut oil or any oil of your choice
  7. Any essential oil of your choice ( I used my perfume to add fragrance) optional.

PREPARATION PROCESS

Pour purified boiled water into an estimated container, add the chopped African “Dudu Osun” black soap and the other locally made back soup into the container of hot water until they mix properly as you stir continually.

When it has broken up, add the 2 tablespoon of vegetable glycerine, natural honey and coconut oil or any oil of your choice into the melter mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until the ingredients is well combined. Allow the mixture to settle and get cold then sieve to avoid little particles.

Finally add your essential oil drop by drop to the sieved mixture of Africa black shampoo and mix.

Hurray!!!!

Your DIY African black shampoo is ready! Empty it into your shampoo storage container or an old shampoo bottle and enjoy. Store in a cool dry place. It will sustain you for a period of one month or two depending the usage. Try not to get tap water/any contaminants into your shampoo.

I would consider doing a short video on this write ups during the next preparation.

Thanks for your informative article. I don't have black hair, but I do have a very sensitive scalp (as in, can't even use castille soap) - do you think this would be a gentle solution for me? (I do have naturally dark hair, thick in texture, just not as thick as yours.) Thanks for your thoughts.
(Oh, you may have a typo in your ingredient list, it says in #2, "soup" which I'm guessing should be "soap"...)
 

@viking-ventures... So sorry for the late response... I will need to repost this. I will get to you on it. Thanks
