Homemade pomade recipe?
I'm looking to make a firm hold pomade that acts like a Murray's Superior for my hair. I'm finding that most things I give a try end up looking way too greasy, don't hold, or don't really have a scent that I'm overly fond of (And since pomade is designed to stay in the hair for so long, scent is important).
I want to make a pomade that's got a bay rum/clove scent and a firm hold for curly hair. Unfortunately I don't know exactly how to approach this. I know that pomade is easily made at home, but I'm not sure exactly how. Does anyone have any kind of recipe for how to make the stuff?
Thanks a ton!

Homemade Pomade
There is a pomade/butch wax a recipe in the book Here's Egg on Your Face" that uses petroleum jelly, paraffin(candle wax) and whatever scent a guy wishes to add. I don't have access to the book at the moment and can't remember the recommended proportions; can be adjusted to make a stiffer wax.
Another recipe for a pomade/butch wax using more natural ingredients- beeswax and coconut oil- is available below which also can be adjusted to make a stiffer wax, might attract bees...

Good Luck!
I do not know how many people are in the party. i assume however, that everyone is bringing something, so its safe to buy about 2 lbs of chopped meat. Ok go to the meat department of your supermarket. They have prepared chopped meat in packages. Buy packages of chopped meat not pork but beef. Put it into a bowl when you get home. Add some salt, chopped onions, (those in the jar are fine), about a fistful of cold water, 1 tbspoon of ketchup, about 3 tablesoons of breadcrumbs and mix. You can mix with a wooden spoon but the best way is to wash your hands well, and then mix with one hand until blended completely mixed. Wash your hand again, as it will be sticky from the meat. Now you are going to make the meatballs. with a spoon or your hand, (I use my hand its faster) put your hand under the running cold water, grab some meat, and roll it very very lightly. there is one meatball. Do the same thing until all the balls are done. Do not make them too small, and do not make them too tight or they will be like rocks. Just lightly form them, pat them Thats your meatballs. The Meat dept at most supermarkets have already made meatballs, you might want to buy them, as they are seasoned already. To cook them for appetizers, you would want to make them on the small size. Place them in a saucepan, and pour any choice of spagetti sauce over them and cook. Thats all there is to do...it takes maybe 1/2 hour to cook if they are small. Do not overcook or they will be like little golf balls. Ok? thats it! If you need anymore information just let me know. I gave you the easiest and fastest way to make what you asked for. Actually its the way I would have done it.....fast and then get to the party and have fun. Again I stress, do not roll the chopped meat in your hands. Also by putting your hand first in the cold water it will add the water to the meatballs and keep them soft. Do not roll them instead kinda move them from one hand to the other shapping them but not packing them..........got it? I hope so, its difficult to explain. Good luck, let me know how it turned out. And get the already prepared meatballs at the meat department. IF they do not have any, ask them if they will make them for you....
