Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance, always start with completely dry, clean hair. Applying the product to damp hair may dilute the matte effect and weaken the hold. Store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the wax's consistency. Because the formula is highly concentrated, start with a minimal amount and add more only if necessary to avoid product buildup. When cleansing, use a quality shampoo to fully remove the wax from the hair follicles.
