    Can I mix baking soda to make oil based pomade?

  • Question
    How do I control the hold and shine for my pomade?
    Community Answer
    For the shine, arrowroot power will cut the shine for the hair. For the hold, increase or decrease beeswax as desired (but error on the side of less is more).

  • Question
    Can I make the first method without using essential oils?
    Community Answer
    Yes, that is perfectly fine. The essential oils are mostly for scent, so if you would like a more neutral smelling pomade, then you can forgo the oils.
