your steps are dead on...always run your recipes through alye calculator though. Magestic Mountain Sage has a good one here: http://www.thesage.com/calcs/lyecalc2.php I always use wooden molds lined with parchment paper, which double as displays if I need them for sales.
ooooh, i had to add that site to my favs...those sounds just put my mind at ease!

Yeah, I looked at that, it's good stuff...coconut oil is great in hard water too. Plus I'd bet the kaolin clay in some 'flavors' would help tighten locs up nicely. If I wasn't supplying myself, I'd be buying from there...
that would likely be about half of your forum...;)
and it's a castille...that's olive oil...very heavy, actually...one of the most conditioning of the 'base' oils used in soap and cosmetic production.
Dr. Bronner's probably has way too much oil in it for your fine hair...have you tried the baking soda/acv for cleansing yet? (sorry faithful users, but dr bronner's is superfatted, and tends to undo lots of dreads, especially newer locs)

I have corse curly hair, I can use a shea-butter soap every other wash and soften a bit. I've used cocoa butter soap too. I have used walnut oil on my ends, never at my roots.
