How to Make Your Own Hair Pomade

Ingredients

• 2 tbs. beeswax pastilles
• 3 tbs. coconut oil
• 2 tbs. arrowroot powder
• 10 drops sandalwood essential oil (or scent of your choice)

Directions

1. Melt the beeswax in a double boiler (or in a Pyrex glass mixing bowl set atop a saucepan with water).
2. Add the coconut oil and stir until melted.
3. Remove from heat and add arrowroot powder; stir well and add essential oil.
4. Allow the pomade to cool slightly and pour into a small glass jar to store. Pomade will keep well for four-to-six months.

Tip: If you find yourself needing extra hold, add an extra tablespoon of beeswax pastilles.
