Download Article Whether you accidentally dipped the ends of your hair in candle wax or you used styling wax to get the perfect ‘do, washing wax out of your hair can be tough.

ReferencesAbout This ArticleArticle SummaryX If you need to get wax out of your hair, start by applying a generous amount of shampoo to your hair while it’s dry. Once you’ve massaged the shampoo into your hair, rinse it out with water as hot as you can stand, which will help soften the wax. If you don’t get all of the wax the first time, you can repeat the process or use conditioner, which also helps break down wax. Alternatively, you can wrap the waxy strands of your hair in a paper towel and use the heat from a hairdryer to melt the wax. After a minute or two, squeeze the paper towel as you pull it down your hair, which should collect the melting wax. If you don’t get all of the wax, jump in the shower and wash it out with shampoo.
