How to style your hair with wax?(male)

I’ve been really a curious person behind all those tricks that you can do to make yourself look better. This is not to showoff but to at least boost little bit of self-confidence in you. Here is not a professional guide but rather more of a sharing from what i’ve learnt from the salon/hair dresser. Hope you’ll like it.
First off, we’ll have to clean our hair with a round of shampoo washing on it. But it’s optional of course, if you choose want to rinse it with water to make sure there’s moisture then it’ll still be alright. Of course, you’ll have to make sure that your hair is equivalent to the length of what I have to have the same effect, short-medium length. I don’t think it’ll look nice if it’s too long.

Before proceeding with styling the hair, we’ll have to use the hairdyer to blow dry our hair. Set it up on the highest speed to speed up the proceed.

We’ll just have to make sure it’s blowing onto our hair to create a fluffy hairstyle. Use your hand to style the way how you want the hair to be. Just some setup. Blow drying about 10-20 second is sufficient, just to make sure it has moisture but not too dry.

Now to the next stage, waxing!

You can get almost any brand on the market that suits your need, I personally started off with using Lucido and it worked pretty fine for me, not much of a smell and holds firmly. But then I’ve switched to Gatsby for a trial, and well so far the smell of it is pretty strong, and might be unbearable to some of you but it really depends on your choice. I’d suggest to get a small one before proceeding with the big one.

Open it up, and make sure your hand is clean.

Apply some of the wax onto your hand (both of it because I was taking picture, so i couldn’t do it lol)

Spread it evenly across your palm.

This is roughly how it looks like before it’s being wax but after the hairdrying session.

Now slowly, brush your palm across your head, from front to back, with both of your hand. Instead of using finger, spread it evenly using your palm.

And after 1-2 rounds of wax spreading, reapply some wax again onto your hand/palm and style the tip of your hair slowly.

Like this.

Repeat the process and you’ll soon to get the desired effect you want.

Allow yourself to have around 5-10 minutes for this process depending on how complex you want it to be. Usually would take around 5 minutes for me.

And after you’re satisfied, do make sure you clean your hand properly with soap. So you do not get food poisoning. Enjoy!
