I want to make an oil-based pomade with extra hold. I am considering using the following ingredients: * Beeswax * Petroleum Jelly * Jojoba Oil * Almond Oil * sweet tree oil * honey * Peppermint Oil * Coconut Oil * Fragrance However, I want to add a custom fragrance using a fragrance oil and avoid the natural scents from the ingredients. I have previously made a batch where the Beeswax scent was quite strong and the added fragrance did not last long. Based on my ingredient list and goals: 1. Which ingredients should I remove because they have strong scents that interfere with the added fragrance? 2. What should I use to make the added fragrance last longer? 3. What ratio should I use for each ingredient to achieve extra hold?

I am making a hair dye cream (in the form of hair conditioner) that includes herbal powder and the hair dye SemiColor - Red Brown. I purchased this product before the new year. Before the new year, I saw information on the website stating that "this dye should be used at pH 8.0-9.0 or higher for good color adherence to hair," but now when I check again, it says "should use pH around 6.0". * Could you please clarify what the correct pH for this product is to ensure good color adherence to hair? Additionally, I have tried making a cream with a pH of approximately 8-9. I tried adding 2 grams (2%) of the dye to a 100 gram (100%) cream formula. The resulting cream gave a medium color intensity at pH 8-9, not very dark. I would like a darker color. * How can I achieve a darker color?

How often should I calibrate a pH Meter with buffer solution before use? Should it be done every time, or just occasionally? I am currently using the yellow model, and the digital numbers are faint and overlapping, making them unreadable. Is the device broken, or does it just need a battery replacement? If it needs a battery replacement, is the battery available for sale, and what type should I use?
