Beeswax for Hair
Oct
Since ancient times, beeswax has been a staple cosmetic ingredient.
It has numerous skin uses, but can also be beneficial for your hair.
From moisturizing to keeping flyaways in place, the natural formula can work wonders for both head and facial hair.
Strangely enough, it can also simultaneously encourage hair growth and help with hair removal.
Here’s everything you need to know about using beeswax on your hair and beard.
What is beeswax?
Beeswax is produced by worker bees who form a honeycomb to store honey for the colony.
Moisturizing vitamin A is found in beeswax along with small amounts of antibacterial agents.
This natural product has a long medicinal history. In ancient Egypt, it was used to treat burns, wounds, and joint pain.
Unlike some natural ingredients, beeswax has little chance of irritating or clogging the skin, making it a safe choice for most people.
Beeswax can help hair in a number of ways
Moisturize
One of the biggest benefits is moisture, the vitamin A content in beeswax helps to moisturize hair, while its overall formula locks in that moisture.
Smooth and straighten
People who find their hair difficult to manage also use beeswax to smooth flyaway strands, keep styles intact, and straighten their hair.
It’s particularly useful for natural hair as well as twisted and braided styles.
Seal strands
Its ability to seal strands makes beeswax a good way to hide split ends — although the only way to permanently get rid of split ends is to cut them off.
Promote hair growth
Beeswax can also be used to promote hair growth.
A 2016 study Source found that a hair wax containing beeswax significantly increased hair length after daily use for 30 days.
However, the formula did include other ingredients, so it’s hard to say if beeswax was the cause.
Soothe scalp conditions
Beeswax can have a positive effect on the scalp, too. Research has shown it can soothe symptoms of skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and dandruff.
In the end, natural beeswax appears to be one of the ingredients with multiple use, a convincing choice for anyone looking for a product that simultaneously cleans, moisturizes and nourishes. We, in turn, invite you to use Tulip products that contain pure beeswax in their ingredients, especially wax varieties that contain balanced quantities of the finest German beeswax in their formulas, so that when using them, you get healthy, manageable and elegant-looking hair.
