Comb with wax. A bit of history
Wax is one of the most used hair beauty products by the male public over the years. In fact it became one of the most common during the nineteenth century, although the components of this wax were different from the current components. Wax has been a benchmark of good taste and elegance over the centuries. If you like the cinema of the Cohen brothers and have seen for this unique hair care product did not go unnoticed by you. This film chronicled the adventures of prisoners escaping from prison, back in 1937 in rural Mississippi during the Great Depression, with the intention of recovering 1.2 million dollars. Clooney’s character stood out for being squeamish and very elegant. Hence the excessive use of hair wax.
Until wax began to be manufactured as it is today, the products that made up this product were from gelatins made with petroleum, to others made with corn oil or macassar oil.
We would have to wait until 1928 for the British company Chemico Works to launch the first hair gel on the market. This product would be known as Bryl creem. With this wax the men managed to get the hair combed back and fixed for long hours. What was most attractive to buyers was that with a little of the product spread out in their hands and rubbed on their hair, they could place their hair and stay fixed as desired. From England it spread to Europe and from there traveled to North America. The popularity of this product was such that both men and women used it to tie their hair.
The decade of the twenties gave rise to the appearance of this unique product. Then the most popular finish was like wet or shiny. We would have to wait until the sixties for a drier version to become popular. In the eighties wax gave way to hair gel where real styling crazy things were made thanks to it, wax and of course lacquer. Nowadays hair wax has become fashionable again and there are many who opt for this product to get truly spectacular hairstyles. Both men and women.

Instructions for combing your hair with wax
To comb with wax you have to follow the following instructions
- Check the indications of the product well before buying it. Today there is a wide variety of waxes to comb in the market. Each is more advisable for one type of hair. For example for long hair, for short hair, for curling and even for the mustache or eyebrows. You can find waxes that are still made from petroleum while others only use vegetable products.
- Opt for natural wax to take care of the environment. There are some waxes that are produced from berries or from different leaves. If you dare you can use beeswax. Dreadlocks, for example, are fixed with this type of wax. Caranauba wax is also well known. It is extracted from the leaves of the caranauba palm tree.
- Look for wax in large stores, pharmacies or small supermarkets. Nowadays this product for beautifying hair is found in all kinds of places. You can locate it in supermarkets and even pharmacies.
- Dress before applying hair wax. Think that if after applying the wax and finding the hairstyle you were looking for you have to put on a sweater you will probably end up ruining all the effort you have dedicated to it. It is better that you dress as you are going to leave before pouring the wax.
- It is enough to use a little wax. Normally it is usually enough to take a minimum amount of wax. Approximately an amount that corresponds to the size of your little fingernail. This will be enough if you have short hair. Take it with your index, ring and middle fingers and spread it evenly over your hair. Never use a lot of wax at once because then you will not be able to spread it well or adhere properly to your hair. It is better to take more wax if you need to wash your hair to remove the excess and have to start over.
Look for a wax with a good balance. You can find waxes that respect the wet hair style of the twenties, or waxes with a drier style. If you prefer your hairstyle to be more natural, it is advisable that you look for a wax that accumulates little waste and has great molding capacity.
