DIY Hair Stuff For Men

Sometimes I feel that we get so distracted making things that smell yummy and are safe and natural for ourselves and our kids, and leave our men right out of the picture! They deserve great stuff too! Today, I’m going to give you some great DIY hair stuff for men, utilizing essential oils and other natural ingredients – beard balm and hair wax.

Beard Balm

• 2 teaspoons beeswax
• 1 teaspoon shea butter
• 3 teaspoons fractionated coconut oil
• 1/2 teaspoon vitamin E oil
• 2 drops Cedarwood essential oil
• 2 drops Melaleuca essential oil
• 2 drops Rosemary essential oil

Combine all ingredients, except essential oils, in glass container. Place jar in saucepan with 1-2 inches of boiling water. Stir ingredients until melted and thoroughly combined. Remove from heat and let rest 3 minutes. Add essential oils and stir. Pour mixture into empty tin or glass jar with lid. Let balm rest 1-2 hours.

Hair Wax

• 3/4 ounces beeswax
• 1/2 ounce shea butter
• 3/4 ounces fractionated coconut oil
• 10 drops Peppermint essential oil
• 10 drops Rosemary essential oil

Combine all ingredients, except essential oils, in glass container. Place jar in saucepan with 1-2 inches boiling water. Stir ingredients until melted and thoroughly combined. Remove from heat and let rest 3 minutes. Add essential oils and stir. Pour mixture in empty tin or glass jar with lid. Let hair wax rest for 1-2 hours before using. For a stiffer hold wax, add 1 ounce beeswax and 1/2 ounce fractionated coconut oil.

Peppermint is so stimulating for the scalp and can support healthy circulation. Rosemary promotes hair growth. Melaleuca is great to prevent scaling and rashes on the scalp. These oils combine so nicely together. Cedarwood adds that strong, masculine scent but it is also very calming for the nervous system. These DIY hair recipes are more than great cosmetics, they’re actually health-promoting too!!
