Hair wax tips needed

26 Sep 2009

I've had my hair cut as a layered bob but I've now lost that "hairdressers" look :cry: The hair dresser used wax on my hair to give it that kinda messy look.
I bought some hair wax and tried to do what she did but just isn't the same. I know it's a typical scenario, but Ive never used wax before.
What I've been doing is rubbing a little wax on my fingertips then rubbing my fingertips on my scalp in a "volumising" way. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't sad

I've watched some videos on the V05 website, it has helped a little, but not really much as they're all men and one woman, and the woman has long hair.
Does anyone have this kinda style? How do u apply wax? Can u apply the wax to wet or towel dried hair then blow dry?

Why don't you use the same stuff that Cameron Diaz used in the "something about Mary" film, I'm sure that would work great and I would glady help apply it wink

What I find is that I need FAR less wax than I think. If it looks like it's nowhere near enough and couldn't possibly do that job - that is plenty.
Also starting at the roots if you want a bit of volume.
I use a dabbing motion all over near the scalp (but not actually on the scalp of course) before doing short 'drags' to add wax to the length of the shaft.
Do you have the same kind of wax? Some have more wax and some have more gel and some are duller/shinier than others. Whether your hair is slightly damp or totally dry would make a difference too.

I use DAX i find just a little on my finger-tips and gently worked into my 'tache works just fine.
