Apply to dry or damp hair. For short hair (2-3 inches in length), apply in a circular motion over entire head. Shape to achieve a tufty, spiked look. For mid to long hair lengths, (flick through) from mid-shaft to ends to create a piecey look. To make this product more pliable in longer hair use the heat from the hairdryer to melt the surface of the wax. Rub through hands and then dress through hair.
