Hairstyling Wax Tips from the #HairBossSa
Hairstyling wax can give your hair great texture and a low shine hold. Our #HairBoss, Chaz, has some advice on the best way to use wax when styling your hair.
Step 1: Always add hairstyling wax to pre-styled or dry hair.
Step 2: Less is always the best way to start. Use the tip of your fingers, pick up a nail tip-sized amount of wax, and rub it between your hands to warm the product very well. This will allow the product to move through your hair and spread well without weighing the hair down or making your hair feel product-heavy.
Step 3: Use your thumb and index finger to spread the hair where necessary to achieve the best finished look, especially around your fringe area.
