You can add aloe vera extract if you like. You can add it at 2-15% in the recipe to help moisturize the hair. However, our extract has not been tested by the FDA to prove that it helps grow the hair. We just use it for extra moisture.
I hope this helps! Keep us updated on your progress and if you get any pictures of your soapy creations, we’d love to see them. You can share them with us on Bramble Berry’s Facebook page.
Can I add aloe vera extract for hair growth? If so, how much should I add. Thanks

I was just wondering if I could cook this up and do a hot-process soap with it instead of the cold process? Have you tried that?
Hi Stephanie!
We’ve never made a hot-process shampoo bar before, but it can definitely be done. Here are a few hot process-type recipes you can check out:
