What is Xflex Glowing Brown?

Xflex Glowing Brown by Edelstein, from the Xflex line, is a water-based hair wax with a medium hold, a shiny finish and a brown tint, made for brown and dark hair, sold in a 100 ml format and applied to damp or dry hair to shape and define the style. It is built on the same kind of base as Xflex Glowing Hair Wax (water, Ceteareth-30, Glycerin, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil), with Caramel, a brown colourant, and Cinchona Succirubra Bark Extract instead of argan oil. The wax washes out with shampoo.

Key ingredients

• Caramel: the brown colourant of the formula.
• Cinchona Succirubra Bark Extract: a plant extract from cinchona bark.
• Ceteareth-30 and Cetoleth-20: emulsifiers that give the wax its creamy, water-based texture.
• Glycerin: a humectant that keeps the texture soft and workable.

Results

The wax gives a medium hold and a shiny finish, with a brown tint that suits brown and dark hair. A small amount is enough, and more can be added for extra definition. On light, bleached or porous hair the brown tint shows more, so a test on a hidden strand comes first.
