Hi, all. I'm so excited because I concocted my 1st homemade hair pomade!! I'm tickled pink! /images/graemlins/grin.gif
Anyway, in my search for a Rosemary/Sage/Sulfur product to apply to my scalp/new growth I found the Genuine African Formula Hair Tonic which contains all three plus TONS of other goodies. This stuff is a liquid though. Even though it doesn't seem to FRIZZ my hair, it makes my scalp smell a little "funny". So, I decided to make a 'creamier' product to apply to my scalp and new growth to stimulate growth and moisturize that I could alternate with the tonic.
I had about 1- 1 1/2 oz. of natural shea butter left in a 2 oz. container so I melted it in the microwave and added:
<ul type="square">
[*]1 Tablespoon of the Hair Tonic mentioned above.
[*]1 Tablespoon of Rosemary & Sage water (homemade)
[*]Approx. 1/2 Tablespoon of Jojoba Oil
[*]The last of my Wildgrowth Oil (about 6 drops)
[*]A couple "squirts" of Carol's Daughter Hair Milk
[/list]
I only added the Hair Milk because after adding in the Rosemary & Sage water the mixture was separating. The Hair Milk contains an emulsifier and when I added a little to the mixture it helped the oil and water mix.
I put it in the fridge last night and today it was back to a solid consistency! Just like it was before I added the extra stuff!
