This recipe is Liz Ardlady's shampoo bar recipe that I adjusted to make liquid. I used 0% SF since KOH is 90% which means I'm already starting out with 10% SF which is way more than the 3% she uses in her recipe In this variation I've added NaOH to the mixture making a hybrid shampoo I substituted the water for apple cider vinegar as in her recipe but I used a 1:2 ratio instead of 1:3 and adjusted to add after the cook. My dilution is 1:2
