Here are the steps to follow to make it:
1. To set up the double boiler, pour about 1 inch of water into the bottom pot
and about 1 inch of water into the upper pot. Turn the heat on medium to
begin warming up the water in both the lower and upper pots.
2. Once the water begins to steam a bit, add the beeswax pastilles and shea
butter to the first glass measuring pitcher and place it gently into the upper
pot with an inch of water. Keep watch as the ingredients begin to melt. Stir
frequently
3. Add the jojoba oil to the second glass measuring pitcher and slowly sprinkle
in the tapioca starch. Whisk together slowly, making sure the tapioca starch
fully dissolves.
4. Once the jojoba and tapioca mixture is fully blended, carefully pour it into the
melted beeswax and shea butter, and mix well.
5. Gently lift the warm measuring pitcher out of the top pot of the double boiler,
and carefully dry the outside of the pitcher with a paper towel.
6. Pour the melted mixture into the glass or metal bowl you use with your stand
or handheld mixer, and let the bowl cool for about 10 minutes.
7. Touch the side of the bowl to test the temperature. When it is no longer too
hot to touch but still feels comfortably warm, whip the mixture on high for 3
minutes using a stand or handheld mixer.
8. Pause the mixer and use a silicone spatula to scrape the mixture down from
the sides of the bowl. Whip for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the butter starts
to look very thick and creamy.
9. Scrape off as much pomade as possible from the whisk attachment. If you are
using a stand mixer, remove the bowl from the mixer.
10. Add the essential oils and combine well using the spatula.
11. Portion the pomade into the glass jars and cap tightly.
The pomade will last for 3 months.
How to Use Hair Pomade:
1. Scoop out about 1 teaspoon of the pomade and rub lightly between your
Hands.
2. Gently glide your hands over your hair, paying extra attention to the ends. At
At this point you can sculpt some waves, smooth out frizzies, and add shine. The
pomade can stay in all day and can easily be washed out in your next Shampoo.
Quick tip for men: This pomade also works very well for beards and
mustaches. Simply rub a small amount of pomade between your hands and glide
your hands over your facial hair to smooth and add shape and shine. And if you wish to try your hand at customization, try adjusting the synergy to create an especially pleasing aroma.
