If you know how to use it, wax can be a miracle product for all hair types. You can use wax to create defined ends or strands of hair. Wax has the power to make fine hair look stronger and thicker, tame unruly curls and create spectacular dreads. Read on and learn how to use wax to take your hair to the next level.
Steps
Method 1 of 4: Use Wax to Fix
Step 1. Start with wet hair
Use a little wax on wet hair, this will help maintain the style. After showering or using a spray, dampen your hair before applying the wax.
Step 2. Comb your hair
Use a comb or brush to loosen them and comb them along the entire length.
Step 3. Put a knob of wax on the palm of your hand
Don't work with too much wax in this step or you'll have trouble distributing it properly.
Step 4. Work the wax between your hands
Massage your palms as if you were washing your hands. The wax will heat up and be more malleable.
Step 5. Work with both hands through your hair
Use your palms and fingers to distribute it through your hair to the ends. If you need more wax, take another nut and spread it out.
Step 6. Style your hair
Shape them however you want. The wax will help you maintain the style that will be more natural than using hairspray or mousse.
Method 2 of 4: Create a Tousled Look
Step 1. Start with wet hair
Let the air dry them or use a hair dryer.
Step 2. Work some wax between your palms
Again, even if your hair is long, don't use more than one knob of wax at a time. You don't want lumps of wax in your hair.
Step 3. Comb the hair with your fingers
Start at the roots and lift your hair as you swipe with your fingers to add some volume. The wax will keep the volume in the fold.
Step 4. Run your fingers between individual strands
Take them one at a time and separate it from the rest of the hair, then smear the wax with your fingers. Twist it gently before leaving it behind your head. By separating a few strands and doing this process, the disheveled look will be more complete.
Method 3 of 4: Making Waves
Step 1. Start with wet hair
To make the waves, you will need to let the wax dry on your hair, so start with wet hair.
Step 2. Apply the wax to your hair
Add plenty to the tips.
Step 3. Make a braid while the hair is still wet
The braid will help secure the hair while leaving it wavy when you untie it.
Step 4. Let your hair dry
You can help yourself with a hair dryer if you want.
Step 5. Undo the braid as soon as you have dry hair
Let the waves define themselves and mess them up a bit. Do not comb your hair otherwise it may become straight.
Method 4 of 4: Making Tips
Step 1. Start with dry hair
Let them dry or use a hair dryer.
Step 2. Put the wax on small strands of hair
Lift a section of hair and use your fingers to wax from root to tip. As you apply the wax, pull the strand up to create a tip.
Step 3. Continue to wax your hair and shape some tips
Do one strand at a time, use your fingers to wax as you pull them up. Proceed until all strands are pointed.
Advice
- One of the biggest mistakes when using wax-based products, whether it's a spray or a jar, is that people use too much of it all at once. Remember that the product can be added gradually, but you cannot remove it if you have put in too much from the start.
- If you don't like the feel of the product, such as a spray, try different ones until you find the one that suits your style and hair type. The general rule is that the modeling product should be applied to wet hair, while the finishing products should be applied to dry hair; however you can experiment to find what is best for you.
