Collection: Hair Styling Wax

Hair Styling Wax

Hair wax gives hold, texture and shine, and is used for slick-backs, defined partings, braids and short textured styles. We stock waxes, wax sticks and aqua gel waxes from Gummy, Red One, Edge Booster, KeraCare, Cantu and more.

Which type do you need?

  • Tub wax: the classic styling wax, in holds from flexible to ultra hold.
  • Aqua or gel wax: water-based, with shine, and easier to wash out.
  • Wax stick: swipe on to smooth flyaways, sharpen partings and tidy braids.
  • Styling powder: a dry, matte option for volume.

Common questions

How do I use hair wax? Warm a small amount between your fingers and work it through dry or slightly damp hair. Add more only if you need it.

Is hair wax good for afro hair? Yes. It is widely used on afro and textured hair to smooth edges, define partings and hold braided styles.

Wax or gel? Wax stays flexible and can be restyled. Gel usually dries firmer.

How do I wash wax out? Shampoo thoroughly, and repeat if hair still feels coated. Water-based waxes rinse out most easily.
