Like I’ve said before, I’m on a mission to make all my family’s cleaning and beauty products.  I’m doing one product at a time and a friend introduced me to a recipe for DIY hair pomade by blogger Mommypotamus.  I must say, I LOVE this recipe.  Who knew I could save so much money and eliminate toxins by making my own hair pomade??  When I was married, my x love this recipe-he’d probably still use it if I’d continue to make it for him!  He was spending at least $20 every time he went for a hair cut so this recipe was quite the victory for us!  Plus, this is perfect for using on a baby boy!  It gives just enough hold and spike and is very gentle for a babies sensitive head.  Putting a toxic hair pomade on a soft scalp is just not a good idea!  Interested in the recipe??  Read on!

DIY Hair Pomade

2 TBSP Shea Butter (find it HERE)

3 TBSP Beeswax (find it HERE)

4 TBSP Jojoba Oil (find it HERE)

5 drops Scotch Pine Essential Oil (find it HERE)

5 drops Rosemary Essential Oil (find it HERE)

Directions:

1. Fill a pot half full with water.
2. Place a glass bowl with a spout in the pot.
3. Turn on stove top to medium
4. Melt Shea Butter and Beeswax
5. Mix in Jojoba Oil.
6. Remove from heat and let cool for about a minute
7. Add essential oils
