How to get wax out of your hair?


Recommended Posts

Ok now this is really starting to annoy me.

I use wax to style my hair as its the only thing that gets the messy look im after. But when i take a shower and wash my hair later, the s**t dont come out lol. Well half of it does. but it leaves enough residue to weigh my hair down and is really noticible. and washing several times doesnt work, it only comes out after several washes, like once a day so to get it all out takes maybe 3 days.

What am i doing wrong? Ive even tried having the water really hot to try and 'melt' the wax a bit lol. It happens with all brands of wax :(

Any ideas? thanks

did you put a pound of wax in your hair? :no:

:laugh:

lol nah like i said only a bit enough to hold the style but it just doesnt shift lol. the towell thing doesnt seem to get too much out either lol.

Anyone else use wax, how do you get it out?

Last time I used wax was after my haircut and to get it out I just shampoo'ed it.

lol ok in response to all the replies (all of which is in my origional post .... )

I do use shampoo .. and several washes in the shower doesnt work, what does work is like once a day washing and takes maybe 2 - 3 washes (/days) to get my hair completely clean.

Does no one else seem to have the problem of wax staying in hair? lol

I like the waxed messy style, what other products (that can be bought in england) give the same effect?

thanks

Hot water and a lot of scrubbin' will get it out! A normal shampoo will should do the job, it just may take a while :whistle:

As for what I use, I just steal my brothers 'Tony and Guy' stuff. Apparently its quite expensive. Either that, or i'll buy whatever I see first in the shop that doesn't cost as much as a small country. Wax or gel - I am not really bothered.

Dax and Fudge are good too, apparently :)

    • Personally, I’ve found that it’s usually worth investing in the infrastructure you don’t want to replace later, especially cabling. Running Cat6A (or better, depending on your needs) during an upgrade is relatively inexpensive compared to having to re-cable a few years down the road. For switches I try to balance current specs with realistic growth. If my budget allows it Ill choose switches with higher uplink speeds which leaves room for expanding later on, but I don’t necessarily overspend on access ports if the endpoints won’t benefit from them anytime soon. One lesson I’ve learned is that planning for scalability pays off. It’s much easier to add devices, VLANs, or higher-bandwidth workloads when your network infrastructure already supports it than to replace hardware later.  What is your budget like?
    • I hate the term, "future-proof." We saw it back in the 90's / 2000's, if not before. You cannot future-proof anything, since there is no definition of how far into the future you plan on prepping for. Best idea is to tell us what you currently have and what its use is at the moment, and we can then offer ideas about some areas that might need an upgrade and other areas that can be left alone.
    • I can agree that it is being used in a small capacity. I worked for a company where their engineers still used XP, and when asked why it was because their sensor software wasn't compatible with newer operating systems and the software was discontinued so they couldn't upgrade the software. Given that the sensors were still in use by companies, they had to continue using XP to support the sensor, otherwise the price to the company would have gone into the millions or billions. Our response was simple: Ok, you can keep the XP machine. But we're removing it from the network. "But then it can't access the Internet or folder shares!" Yup, kinda the point. If someone wants to continue using an unsecure OS they can do, I have no problem with that. But it should be isolated. Simple. I had a fight with a guy in the engineering department for weeks before he finally relented. But we digress.   What do I plan on doing to commemorate the anniversary? Nothing. I have fond memories of the OS, but at the end of the day it's just an OS. If I had some time I might see if I could install it on my Raspberry Pi for a laugh. But my reflex memory with today's OS ideas would probably get me frustrated and I'd uninstall it after 5 mins.
