How to Make Your Own Hair Pomade

Afraid of All the Chemicals in Your Hair Pomade? Make Your Own

With the summer the humidity can really do damage to your hair. If you have curly hair or thick course hair the humidity tends to make the hair very frizzy and become uncontrollable. That's where the hair pomade comes in. When you use a hair pomade it not only gives your hair shine, it makes it soft, manageable, and takes out the frizz. Some hair pomade contains chemicals like perfumes, coloring agents, minerals, and beeswax. If you are trying to avoid chemicals and go green I suggest you make your own. By making your own hair pomade you know exactly what's going on your head. Then you can make the pomade as thick or thin as you need. How can you make your own hair pomade?

There are many ways to make your own pomade you can use a mixture of olive oil mixed with coconut oil, beeswax, and citrus oil. The olive oil will help for the shine, coconut will help with moisture, beeswax will help for hold, and the citrus oil will add a nice scent to your hair and scalp. Another great home remedy for making hair pomade is using beeswax with jojoba oil, and a touch of lavender oil. Then you will have hold, moisture, and stimulation. Not only will the lavender help stimulate your hair and scalp it will also help sooth you, relax you, and works as an antibacterial as well.

How to make a natural hair pomade

First step- Fill up a medium-sized pot with water, halfway. Then add ½ cup of beeswax to the pot of water. Bring this to a complete boil making sure that all of the beeswax is completely liquefied. Then add your ¼ cup jojoba oil and 8-9 drops of lavender oil to the pot. Mix this up and let it get hot for 3 minutes. Turn off the stove remove pot. Allow this to cool off for a few minutes. Place into a bottle or jar that has a lid. This can be stored up to 2 ½ months. When it's time to use this pomade on your hair take your finger dip into the jar and scoop some out. Make sure you rub this together with your other fingers before applying to your hair. If not you will end up with a clump of product all in one spot. This is great for texturizing, smoothing, getting rid of frizzy hair, and even spiking hair.

To make the first hair pomade with coconut oil you will need ½ cup of olive oil, ½ cup of coconut oil, ½ cup of beeswax, and 9 drop of citrus oil. Repeat the same procedure as mentioned above.

If you're not too sure about making your own you can buy organic hair pomade. Some of the brands are John masters organic hair pomade, Rock Star organic style hair pomade, Simply organic hair pomade, MOP organic spray pomade, Giovanni Definition pomade, and Nature's Blessing hair pomade.

    petroleum is terrible for your hair

    Good article, but if you are in the market for a GREAT pomade at the $3 mark and has three ingredients try Murray's. They are petroleum, beeswax, fragrance. I am trying to get away from the petroleum, so I will be making my own subbing coconut oil but if you don't have a problem with the petroleum, its a great simple product. Same formula for a century.

    Thanks for the awesome recipe.
    I have some questions and would appreciate your advice and experience.
    For clarification - to melt the bees wax am I using a double boiler or putting the bees wax directly into the water? Bees wax is sold by the pound. Is a half pound a half cup?

    Thank you,
    Stephen

    You're good....I'm curious! Do you make enough monthly on PV's to live off of? Your info is great and I know you get an enormous nuber of PV's. I'm thinking about retiring and writing.
