Did you use emulsifying wax or alter/sub any of the ingredients? It may have been because you put it in a loaf mold and sliced instead of in smaller molds. Mine are definitely solid so I’m not sure what happened here.

I refrigerated my batch for nine hours. It popped out of my silicone mold nicely and easily sliced into bars. I then let it sit out on my counter on a cookie rack overnight. This morning, it has the consistency of an emollient, looser than Vaseline. If you have any suggestions to make it an actual hard bar, please let me know. Otherwise, if it doesn’t solidify in the span of a week or two, I will reheat it to liquid form and pour it into containers and use it as a foot balm because, if left in the shower at this point, it will just make a mushy mess.

You could add some Leucidal plus if you want to add a natural preservative.

It is a hard bar (like a lotion bar) and very little should be used to avoid making hair feel greasy or waxy. Everyone’s hair is different though so it may just not work well with your hair type.

You could add something like Leucidal plus to preserve it for longer, but regardless it should be stored in a dry place in between uses to better preserve the shelf life.
