Step by step instruction: Utena Matomage Hair Styling Stick 13g Stronghold

  • How to use Utena Matomage Hair Styling Stick 13g Stronghold

    1. Start with Your Hair Styled: This product is a finishing styler, not a primary one. Begin with your hair already styled in your desired look (e.g., in a ponytail, bun, braids, or with your hair down but parted).
    2. Open the Stick: Remove the cap. The wax stick has a unique flat, oval shape which is designed to cover a good surface area for smoothing or allow for precise application using its edge.
    3. To Tame Flyaways and Frizz: Hold the stick and lightly glide the flat surface directly over any frizzy areas or flyaways, typically on the top of your head or along your parting. The wax will instantly smooth them down for a polished look without making your hair look greasy.
    4. To Create a Super Sleek Updo: After tying your hair back into a ponytail or bun, glide the stick along your hairline—forehead, sides, and the nape of your neck. This will smooth down all the short, wispy baby hairs, giving you a sharp, flawless, and professional-looking updo that lasts.
    5. To Control Unruly Layers or Fringes: To tame stubborn short layers or a fringe that won't stay put, you can apply the edge of the stick directly to the hairs you want to control and then smooth them back into your main hairstyle.
    6. Control is Key: Always apply with light pressure. A little goes a very long way, and you can always add another light layer if needed. The best part is the direct, hands-free application—no more sticky fingers!

FAQs about Utena Matomage Hair Styling Stick 13g Stronghold

  • Utena Matomage Hair Styling Stick 13g Stronghold

    Most common questions about Utena Matomage Hair Styling Stick 13g Stronghold

    Will this styling stick make my hair look greasy or oily?
    No, and that is its most magical quality! The formula is masterfully designed to provide a strong hold and tame frizz without leaving a greasy, wet, or oily look. When used with a light hand as intended, it is virtually invisible in the hair, leaving only a smooth, sleek finish and a healthy-looking shine.

    What is the difference between the 'Stronghold' (pink) version and the 'Regular' (green) version?
    The 'Stronghold' (pink) version, which is this one, provides a more powerful, longer-lasting hold. It is ideal for creating very sleek styles, controlling thick or particularly stubborn hair, and for formal updos that need to stay in place. The 'Regular' (green) version offers a softer, more natural hold, which is perfect for taming fine flyaways in hair that is worn down and for more casual styles where you want a little more movement.

    How do I wash it out of my hair?
    It washes out easily and completely with your regular shampoo. There is no special removal process required. Unlike some heavy-duty pomades or waxes, it will not leave a stubborn, waxy residue in your hair after washing.

    Can I use this product on my whole head of hair to create texture?
    This product is designed as a finishing styler for specific areas, not as an all-over wax for creating texture or volume throughout your hair. It is best used to smooth the surface of your hair, tame flyaways along your parting, and create sleekness around the hairline for updos and ponytails.

    My hair is very fine. Will this 'Stronghold' version weigh it down?
    The key to using this product on any hair type is to apply it with a very light hand. For very fine hair, we would generally recommend starting with the 'Regular' (green) version. However, even with this 'Stronghold' version, if you apply just a light glide over the surface flyaways on top of your head, it should not weigh your hair down. Avoid applying it to the roots or in large quantities.
