I haven't had luck with wax or any sticky / tacky products. For me it tends to stick to my finger and pull hairs out of my thin skin unit. I style with leave-in or water and then I hit it with a light UV protecting Hairspray....lightly... to protect the color. Elnette
Depends on the product; "wax" encompasses a broad range of products. I'm sure the water-soluble products are fine - but I couldn't imagine using classic, petroleum-based (Murray's, Dax) products without causing the adhesive to not work.
