Dax Wax

...the start, because in appearance Dax very closely resembles Vaseline, and has a sort of sweet, sickly smell that didn’t particularly appeal to me. I was later to discover after looking at the tin that this is most likely coconut, the oil of which is one of the ingredients. ~ ~ Anyways, did Dax cure my bad hair problem, and will I continue to use it? The answer to the first part of the question is a qualified yes, and to the second part an undoubted ...
...~ The company that produces Dax is called “Imperial Dax Inc.” and are based in New Jersey, with a subsidiary company of the same name based in London in the UK. Personally, I think this product is probably the result of some sort of sneaky, underhand deal between President Bush and Prime Minister Blair to get rid of all the waste oil products of both countries. (It’s as good a conspiracy theory as many others that are doing the rounds today about ...

Review of Dax Wax

...your fingers. I recommend dax shampoo to remove it from your hair (I have written a review on this if you would like to take a look). I find that the best way to get it off your fingers is to run them under a warm tap (careful not to burn yourself). The wax turns very soft and you can easily get it off with a towel but it is no good simply trying to use soap. My hair is short and spiky and a little wavy too. I find that this keeps my hair straight ...
...rekindle its wave, it leaves my hair looking good all night and sometimes I do not have to do it in the morning, it is usually looks how it looked when I went to bed. Now instead of placing the wax on your hair everyday, I recommend just blowing a hot hair dryer over your hair, which loosens the wax, this enables you to re-work the wax that is on your hair. You might have to re-apply some to the back our your head as I find it flattens due to sleeping ...

Review of Dax Wax

My first memory of Dax Wax - I had been with my partner for less than a month when I began to notice trails of stickiness on my pillows...greasy marks on my towel's and every surface around by room seemed to have a sweaty wet feel to it... No...it was all innocent - this is the trail that Dax wax leaves in it's wake! I had actually purchased this for my partner as it was cheap in a shop called QLM, only £1.69 for a full sized metal tub. As he's ...
...were not much use, but Dax wax keeps its hold for much longer than most. In fact, it held his hair high all day long and soon became a firm favourite. I personally wasn't so keen on his using it as it left his hair feeling incredibly sticky to touch and running my hand through it was a near impossibility - somewhat like pulling a rake through a hedge! As it was incredibly effective on his long hair I decided that I would give it a go too - my hair ...

Review of Dax Wax

...I have tried the other Dax products, and the red variety is definitely the best for my hair. I use it after I have towel dried my hair thoroughly, rub a small amount onto my fingers and then work it through. It's quite solid wax, but it still allows you to shape it once it's in your hair. Rubbing it through your fingers first softens it up a little and means its easier to work with. As others have mentioned, the hold is tremendous, especially if ...
...hands - it takes the Dax right out. Then I just wash my hand with soap and water as normal. Same thing with hair - I just put a small amount of baby oil over my hands, then just work my hands through my hair, before shampooing as normal. Hair is left feeling like there is nothing in it again. The only times I bother to do this is if I'm going to the hairdressers and they need my hair to be thoroughly clean, or occasionally the build-up of Dax can ...

Review of Dax Wax

...week so when I found Dax Wax it was a total life saver (a bit more cash to go to the night out funds!). Wax Dax seems to be one of those mysterious products that has been around for ages but is a total secret and is VERY hard to find. It has no advertising campaigns that I have ever seen and is a very low-key company. After hearing about it from a friend that had got one through a friend in America! I managed to track it down. My first tin was bought ...
...the way place. So what happened next? Upon opening my first tin I found a wax that was so hard I could even make an indent in it so I left it to heat on a radiator thinking that it was supposed to be like gel. When I came back and tested I found it to be like chewing gum but decided to take my chances and try it out. After applying the amount that I can describe only as around 2 peas size my hair was standing proudly up towards the skies. After ...

Review of Dax Wax

...I tell you). Dax comes in 2 different tins for short hair: ‘Short and Neat’ (The blue tin) and ‘Short and Wavy’(The red tin). ‘Short And Wavy’ is REALLY thick and gloopy. It does straighten your hair and hold a style but you can say goodbye to your hands as you know ‘em, it makes them sticky and takes ages to wash off, a bit like trying to wash the oil off a roasting dish. ‘Short and Wavy’ and ...
...haven’t been able to find Dax in any chemist, I had to go to an Indian shop in town that specialises in products for Afro hair. It costs a quid 39, which is an amazing price as it lasts for ages and is a brilliant wax. The ingredients are Petrolatum, coconut oil, caster oil, mineral oil and parfum. ...

Review of Dax Wax

At aroud £2 per tub this hair wax is extremely good value for money and is also an effective way of keeping flyaway hair looking sleek and shiny. It comes in either an easy to use squeezy tube or the traditional metal tin ( I personally perfer the squeezy tube for ease of use). Only a small amount is required which means that one tin lasts ages for the unbeatable price of around £2. If like me your hair can be very flyaway I would recommend this ...

Review of Dax Wax

...yourself from long-term disaster. Dax hair wax is one of them. Don't get me wrong. In my heady, university days, I suffered from a wide range of ailments: poor hair cut, thick, uncontrollable mat on my head, desperation - all of these contributed to my resorting to Dax. And over the years, as my hairdressers have improved, so has the obvious discomfort on their face whenever I've slapped utter rubbish on my head in a last-minute lunge for a respectable ...
...mean it washed out. Unsurprisingly, once I stopped using this, my skin cleared up dramatically, presumably because I wasn't inadvertently rubbing my face in the remains of Dax in my sleep. Whilst this is a bit of a tangential benefit, it took me bloody ages to figure out. ...

Review of Dax Wax

...I had had enough of Dax wax I tried to wash it out of my hair only to discover you're supposed to buy special shampoo from Dax. I eventually managed to get the product removed from my hair with out buying the ridiculously priced "special" shampoo. This product left me wondering what's the point? Your paying more money then you would for better easier to use hair products and then you can wash it out with out buying more products? Crazy and so are ...
...an extra 20 minutes trying to wash the product out of your hair. My advice to you if your looking for a decent hair product avoid Dax Wax at all costs and stick to gel or Brylcreem. Thank you for reading my review of an absolutely ridiculous product. ...

Review of Dax Wax

There are hundreds of hair products in the market but none of them really say which is good for what hair type. This wax is good all round but red tin is specially designed for short hair. This is a very strong wax and its good for short hair but its even better if you have very strong straight hair. Oriental men will discover their hair are very straight and it makes it a nightmare to style it anyway but this can be a good solution, The only bad ...

Review of Dax Wax

...product produced by the company Dax am appalled at how disgustingly useless it is. For a start the product is just like grease. in fact it would probably be better for you to go dip your hands in a tub of grease and style your hair with it. I am astonished by the idea of anyone wanting to use this product it is plain simply foul. Its basically vaseline for your hair, Note the main ingredient PETROLEUM JELLY. it doesnt even hold your hair properly ...
...shampoo created especially for removing Dax Wax by the company itself. and it comes with one hell of a price. I myself didnt even bother purchasing this but remained in my shower for what seemed like a decade constantly shampooing my hair until i had run out of shampoo and still some wax remained. HANDY TIP FOR DAX WAX USERS--- buying seperate conditoner from head and shoulders can remove dax wax alot easier. the 2 in 1 isnt as effective. Compared ...

Review of Dax Wax

Dax Wax is not your usual hair product. There is no glitz and glam about it. There are no bill boards or football players desperate tp advertise it. But dont be fooled. Dax Wax is the most reliable wax you can buy. It is super strong. It will mould your hair into the most delicate of styles. It will hold for days and i mean days. You could wash your hair and it would be about the same strength as shockwaves. Yet there are disadvantages. It is very ...
...on the hands. Also you dont want anyone feling your hair. It will take alot of hand washes with a lot of soap to remove it. This wax though does have its art to it as well. Never put it o to dry hair unless your hair care is soooo bad that its greasy enough to mould the wax. A bit of water on the hair and i mean a bit will allow you to spread the wax all over your hair. Otherwise you get big clumps stuck in parts of your hair and it looks shocking. ...

Review of Dax Wax

...same mistake I did...Buy the Dax vegetable shampoo at the same time!!. This is a must. I first found out about dax when i was at a friends and decided that it would be a cool Idea to have dreads,as you do when your sixteen and listen to grunge music. So we found this red tub of dax wax,which belonged to my friends grandfather, and thought it would be a good idea to plonk loads of it on my head,which was not a good idea as it made me look like i'd ...
...tub explaing that you need dax vegetable shampoo to get it out so i strongly suggest you buy some,their taking more money off you but its worth it if you want to remain somewhat presentable. It really holds styles fast and you can create any look with it. I bought my tub for around 2 pound and has lasted me for six months and is still 1 third full.so its good value for money. ciao x ...

Review of Dax Wax

...nothing. if it wasnt for dax wax id be more like 'lacklustre tom'. this stuff is hardcore, industrial strength wax. a side effect of this is a rather unsettling smell, but it certainly does the trick. once youve scooped a glob of it onto your hand and worked it into your hair, which takes a while, you are free to do whatever you like with it... big spikes, little spikes, mohawks, or just a sustained wet look. it pays to go easy on the amount of wax ...
...bugger. the major problem of dax is the difficulty of washing it out. ive found that theres still some in my hair even after shampooing it twice, but some shampoos are better than others at removing it and dax claim to sell shampoo that gets it out properly. also, make sure your hair is totally dry before applying it or youll have problems as its water retardant. used sparingly, a tin of this will last a very, very long time so although its quite ...

Review of Dax Wax

...Because of this i use Dax wave and groom, the stronger of the Dax products. I personally feel this wax is great, it is the strongest wax you will find. I think it is great as it moulds your hair just as you want it and does not give you that greasy look like most other products, it puts a really strong hold on your hair keeping it how you want through out the day and as it is wax also alows you to mould it if you want to change it unlike gel which ...
...get it completely out but dax have been good in making a special shampoo that is strong and gets rid of that heavy, sticky feel. But if you want something that holds your hair and don't really mind having a little something left in your hair after a wash, this is the wax to use. It is certainly the best one i have used as it actually allows you to mould your hair the way you want it, with a long lasting hold. ...
