Three tips when buying hair wax
The wax that’s right for you depends not only on the look you want but also on your type of hair.
- Short hair is best styled with a matte wax to avoid greasy-looking hair.
- Curly hair looks great styled with a curl-defining wax, preferably with a touch of shine.
- Fine hair needs a good hold. Choose a wax that makes hair look fuller. If you’re having problems with hair loss, there’s also wax to combat that.
- Thick hair needs something to keep it in place.
Some waxes have special properties, so you can kill two birds with one stone and won’t need to invest in more products.
Heat protection: If you use a hair dryer to style your hair, it’s important to use heat protection to avoid damaging your hair. Kill two birds with one stone with a wax with heat protection). Moisturising: Too much styling can dehydrate your hair. Invest in a moisturising wax to keep your style feeling healthy. Colour protection: If you’ve coloured your hair, naturally you want it to last. Look for colour-protective wax. Strengthening: Dry and damaged hair needs strengthening. Check out the range of strengthening hair waxes. SPF: Just like skin, your hair needs protection from the sun’s rays. Here you’ll find wax with sun protection.
Wax comes with different durability. Durability is measured on a scale of 1 to 5 – the higher the number, the better the hold. A soft wax shapes and holds the hair in place without setting. However, if you want a style that will last until you wash your hair again, then look for an extreme wax. And if you want something in between, you should look for a medium-hold wax.
Here's a guide with lots of handy tips for how to use wax to style your hair.
