Beauty Tried And Tested: The Best Hair Shaping Waxes
Want to know what the best beauty products are before you buy? LOOK is here to help... today our very own Beauty Editor Sophie Beresiner and LOOK reader Polly Corden have put hair shaping wax to the test...
Beauty Editor: A styling wax that also moisturises is always worth a try and this one held styles easily and completely zapped any frizz. Polly:This worked wonders on my too-silky-to-style hair and I only needed a small amount. I also liked that I could still play with my hair without feeling the product in it. Beauty Score: 5/5
- Aveda Light Elements Shaping Wax, £20
Beauty Editor: This smelt so amazing I didn’t know whether it was for hair or to slather on my body! Gives locks a lovely shine but you only need a small amount. Polly: I found this felt very sticky on my hands and it wasn’t easy to apply because it was so creamy. My hair looked shinier but without much hold. Beauty Score: 2/5
- Wella Shockwaves Shaping Wax, £2.99
Beauty Editor: I used this on my friend’s super-short pixie crop and it looked really funky. It was easy to mould and you can just use it again to restyle for the evening. Polly:I really liked the consistency of this. It’s a proper wax that’s easy to apply and gave my hair a lovely sheen. I needed to use a lot for a good effect but my style lasted all day. Beauty Score: 3/5
- Shu Uemura Art of Hair Shape Paste Sculpting Putty, £21.50
Beauty Editor: With enough memory to rival an elephant’s, this keeps any style for as long as you want, without making your hair stiff. Short hair’s NBF. Polly:This was easy to work into my hair and it held my style right through to the evening. I really liked the matt, textured finish too. Beauty Score: 4/5
