If you ever needed some inspiration for making homemade shampoo, read this post from a model student :-). She is obviously a meticulous crafts enthusiast, which is important for the kind of shampoo she made. Shampoo bars are a fantastic creation that make wonderful gifts, but they take a bit more skill than some other fool-proof recipes. 

If you think you are up for a challenge, then try making some bars like the "Dolphin Lady" did. Just think how satisfying it will be to see the looks of amazement on your friends' faces...
