    if I mix grease based pomade with clay, will it increase the hold strength of the pomade to the hair ?

    any suggestion of ingredient to maximize the hold strength of the pomade.
    please help thank you.

    Simple experiment, make 2 large batches, 1 at 10% and the other at 0%. Mix portions of each batch together so that you get 10 samples, from 1-10% concentration. Test pomade hold for each sample, then pick the best one.

    @shahimanshair, are you a chemist?

    To be honest I’m not a chemist sir, but I have a chemist friend that can assist me in this production.
