Winter’s Worst Hair Enemy Meets Its Match...

Winter may be great for oversized knits and pumpkin lattes, but maybe it is not so kind to your hair. Between dry indoor heating and chilly winds, even the smoothest strands can turn into a frizzy halo. Lately, though, there’s been one product quietly sitting in every stylist’s kit, and even Khushi Kapoor’s, as revealed in an interview. The actor relies on a hair wax stick to manage her hair on a ‘bad hair day’.
Think of this li’l stick as a quick-fix magic wand for your hair. Just a few swipes can tame flyaways, define your part, and give you that polished, pulled-back look everyone’s been wearing this season. They’re also portable (perfect for tossing into your coat pocket) and easy to use. Although it is important to use formulas which are lightweight and water-soluble so they rinse off easily, otherwise layering too much product may lead to buildup over time. It is advisable to use a clarifying shampoo or do an apple cider vinegar rinse once a week to keep your scalp squeaky clean!
But is hair wax bad for hair? No, as long as you wash your hair regularly and don’t overuse it, a wax stick can actually help your winter hair stay healthier by locking in hydration and reducing friction. So, get your hands on one before winter hits! Here are some hair wax sticks to be on your radar this winter season.
