Hi, I have been asked to use hair wax to style my hair. Is it healthy to do so? Will applying hair wax affect my hair? If yes, is there any alternative to hair wax or can it be used with precautions so that damage can be minimised?

3 Doctors Answered
Styling products can sometimes damage the hair strands and rarely hair roots. If no heat is involved unlikely it will damage the roots.
To get the hair style you want, it's always advisable to consult your hair stylist. The hair style that suits you best depends on a number of factors, including hair texture, head shape, face shape and size—different styles suit different people
Hair wax does not have any negative effects but excessive use of any hair products can cause hair problems. Weekly oil massage 1-2 hour before bath is must.
