For short, straight hair:
Apply a fingernail-sized amount between palms and warm wax by rubbing hands together. Add a small amount at a time until desired hold is achieved.
For elegant ponytails:
Apply a fingernail-sized amount to hairline. Work through with a dense brush. Secure with an elastic and tame flyaways by smoothing them with your fingertips.
For uneven waves with a braid:
Rub a fingernail-sized amount between palms and apply to hair before braiding. Tame flyaways by smoothing them with your fingertips.
