How do you make your own pomade?
It's pretty easy!
All measurements by weight
*1/2 oz carnauba OR 1 oz beeswax (carnauba is a pain in the butt..i am going to try the beeswax for my next batch or see if I can use another wax)
*1 1/2 oz butters (I use shea & avocado or mango)
*2 oz oil (the original recipe called for jojoba but i use grapeseed & evoo)
*few drops of essential oil of your choice (optional)
I melt the wax first then add my butters and heat for at least 20 min in a double boiler (this is important if you use shea butter) then add the oil right before you remove from heat. Pour the mix into a container to cool and stir it a couple of times while it cools.
It works pretty well for me & mine but we use shampoo so if you are a low/no-poo/clay washer, it may build up.
