What is Xflex Glowing Orange?

Xflex Glowing Orange by Edelstein, from the Xflex line, is a water-based hair wax that gives blonde, golden brown and copper hair a medium hold, a shiny finish and an orange tint, in a 100 ml format. Applied to damp or dry hair, it shapes and defines the style; the orange colourant Cl 15985 (Yellow 6) and Carica Papaya Fruit Extract sit in the same type of base as Xflex Glowing Hair Wax, and the wax washes out with shampoo.

Key ingredients

• Cl 15985 (Yellow 6): the orange-yellow colourant of the formula.
• Carica Papaya Fruit Extract: a fruit extract from papaya.
• 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, a shiny finish and an orange tint whose intensity follows the starting colour: on very light, bleached, grey or porous hair it shows more, so a test on a hidden strand comes first. A small amount is enough to shape and define the style.

How to use Xflex Glowing Orange

1. On very light, bleached, grey or porous hair, test first on a hidden strand.

3. Apply to damp or dry hair, shaping strand by strand.
