Whether you prefer sporting an unruly, mountain-man mane; a hard part and sideburns; or a ‘fro for days, we’ve got the products that provide a natural pick-me-up—for your hair, that is.
Just like skin care, skip store-bought products full of ingredients like formaldehyde and isopropyl alcohol. Try this down-to-earth DIY pomade to naturally keep your style in place.
Ingredients:
💧3 tablespoons shea butter
💧2 tablespoons beeswax pellets
💧2 tablespoons jojoba oil
💧1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
💧5 drops of Rosemary essential oil
💧3 drops Cedarwood essential oil
💧3 drops Thyme essential oil
Instructions:
1. Melt the shea butter and beeswax pellets in a double boiler. Stir the mixture frequently.
2. Combine the jojoba oil and arrowroot powder in a separate bowl. Mix well so there are no clumps and the mixture is smooth.
3. Add the shea butter and beeswax to the jojoba mixture. Mix thoroughly with a hand mixer until the texture is thick, about 5 minutes.
4. Add essential oils and mix to incorporate.
5. Pour the mixture into a small, lidded container (e.g., wide-mouth glass jar, clean mint tin).
6. Store in a cool, dark place.
To use: Put a small amount of hair pomade on your fingertips and rub them together. Once fingertips are evenly coated with pomade, run them through hair and style as desired. Start with a small amount of pomade and add more as needed.✨
