The variety of possible hairstyles is facilitated by the existence of various hair styling products. Each of them has its own purpose, but when we talk about wax, this product is almost universal: it can be used to model both wavy curls and the opposite alternative – straightened hair.
For your convenience, we have prepared an audio version of the article.
The currently popular straightening of hair can be done with the help of a flat iron, but if you take into account the unfavorable thermal effect on the hair, then you can use the second harmless option – wax for straightening.
Advantages of Using Hair Wax
There are several arguments in favor of using hair wax:
- -Firstly, hair styling is characterized by a long-lasting effect, but it remains elastic;
- Second, the hair is protected by a thin film that acts as a barrier against external irritants;
- And thirdly, thanks to its vitamin composition, wax enriches the hair with the necessary elements, giving it strength and radiant shine.
However, laborious attempts to create an extraordinary style with the help of hair wax are not always crowned with success. The reason for this is incorrect application of wax on the hair, most often too much, which leads to sticky and viscous hair.
Hair wax should be applied in the following way: a small amount of wax is preheated in the hands in the process of rubbing, then the wax is distributed with the fingers along the entire length, so that the wax does not settle in lumps, you should distribute it with a comb with long teeth. Then the hair is shaped into the desired style: straightened with a hairdryer or left to dry naturally, curled on rollers or in light curls.
Proper Application for Optimal Results
Wax can be applied to wet hair to create a wet hair effect, or to dry hair to create individual curls that can be twisted with a curler or flat iron. Wax can also be used when styling short hairstyles to emphasize the ends: small amounts of wax are used to smooth, curl, or twist the ends.
Spray wax is even more convenient to use: it is easier to spread over the entire surface of the hair and can be used outside the home. It does not weigh down the hair, but helps to fix it elastically. Hair wax is an indispensable aid, especially in humid weather, when hair tends to return to its natural, unruly form.
Taking into account all the advantages of wax as a means of modeling hair, we can safely say that it will be an indispensable assistant to any fashionista, whether it is a coquette with curly hair, an elegant girl with mermaid hair or a daring informal girl with an unusual haircut.
