Our DIY hair wax and conditioning balm was developed by Nancy in her kitchen at home after her son ran out of hair product… again! With nourishing shea butter and cocoa butter, a little caster oil for shine, and lavender and rosemary essential oils for hair health, this nourishing balm can be used to style and control modern hairstyles, or to condition dry and damaged hair.
When used as a styling hair wax, it provides a flexible hold, a semi matte sheen, and won’t flake.
When used as a conditioning balm, it will help to nourish dry hair and tame fly-aways.
