Should We All Convert to Hair Spray Wax?
For many years, women have used wax, whether it was in a pot or as a stick form, to style their hair. However, brands tend to create new innovations to fill a gap in the market or to satisfy a need. Maybe this new way of using a hair wax will be a game changer, but we do wonder if wax in a spray form really necessary?
Editor’s Thoughts on Spray Wax
We asked the All Things Hair editors to explain how they would feel about using a spray wax on their hair. Read on as their answers may help you decide if you want to buy into this new format of a wax hair styling product:
Milena Prinzi, Editor in Chief
“I tend to use hair wax during the summer to tame frizz and flyaways. I love how it offers a bit of hold and control without leaving the hair greasy or sticky. usually, I apply it to my roots or to curl my ends.” To get the same benefits as Milena does, use Bed Head by TIGI Wax Stick. We love this type of wax in a stick form because it’s very easy to apply and isn’t messy at all.
Miriam Herst, Deputy Editor
“I’ve never used wax at all on my hair. However, I feel a spray wax can be helpful for holding braided hairstyles.” Miriam has grown to love wearing spray wax hair on braids for day-to-day activities including work and running errands.
Caitlin Reddington, Associate Editor
“I haven’t used wax on my hair before, but it seems like it would be very useful for adding light hold and making your hair easier to style. I would definitely try out a spray wax.”
