Sure! Here’s the full translation of your blog post into English:
Hello everyone!
It’s been a very long time since I last wrote on the blog, but here I am again to share interesting and useful things. This is my latest discovery and, even though it’s a small thing, I’m really excited about it because I had never thought of it before.
I’ve been using solid shampoo for quite a while now because it’s more eco-friendly, practical for travel, and supposedly cheaper, since you’re not paying for a bottle filled with water and a bit of product (as you do with liquid shampoo). You’re paying only for the raw material — the shampoo itself. I say supposedly cheaper because the problem I was having is that when the bar was quite worn down, it was hard to use — not enough lather came out, it would slip from my hands…
I did some research online and found recipes where people cut up the leftover bits of shampoo (or soap), dissolve them in hot water, and make a liquid shampoo. There are also videos where people turn soap flakes into a new bar. I tried the first idea, but it didn’t work — the pieces didn’t dissolve well. Besides, if you do that, it would only be for one-time use, since you’re mixing the product with water and not adding any preservatives like commercial liquid shampoos do. I didn’t try making a new bar, but to do that you need to have enough leftover bits.
Anyway, the other day I came across a video where a woman said they used to wrap the soap bar (for body use, in this case) in one of those fabric sponges. And that’s when the lightbulb went on! I remembered other videos explaining how you could use an old mesh or stocking to strain nuts for making plant-based milk. And I thought — what if I put the solid shampoo in a stocking to “squeeze” every last bit out of it? Said and done! I cut up an old stocking, put the solid shampoo pieces inside, and tied a knot. When I washed my hair, it worked perfectly — not a single bit of shampoo slipped away, and once mixed with water and rubbed onto the scalp, plenty of lather came out. That way you can use up every last flake. Then you just leave it to dry, and that’s it. When the stocking wears out, you can just wash it normally and use it again. I’m adding a photo of my shampoo-in-a-stocking, already used.
Hope this helps you all! 🙂
