Cut up the beeswax and melt in a double boiler (you can create a makeshift double boiler by placing a heatproof dish into a large pan of water and placing onto a hot hob)
Add the coconut oil and the essential oil (I used ‘Chinese Musk’, but more common scents such as peppermint or lavender work well too). Stir the mixture with a metal spoon, until it’s all fully melted and well dispersed.
Carefully pour the mixture into a clean, dry container and leave to cool for at least 3 hours at room temperature.
To use the hair pomade, just rub a pea sized amount between your fingers to soften it, then apply to your hair as normal.
