There is truly no hairstyle more effortlessly chic and versatile than the beloved slicked-back bun. It’s the answer to a humid, rainy weather, any occasion you want to appear extra polished and even just on regular days that you’re too lazy to think of a hairstyle. After all, a super-sleek bun is the bedrock of the model off-duty beauty uniform for a reason.
Convinced you to sport the look this season? Allow us to recommend the workhorse product you absolutely can’t go without: a hair wax stick. Some who are devoted to this hairstyle will say you need a trio of stylers–leave-in conditioner, gel, hairspray–to get a snatched vibe, but for the minimalist among us, I swear, a wax stick will do the trick.
Ahead, find some of the best wax sticks for an ultra-smooth updo, these tiny-but-mighty sticks will serve you well.
KISSME Heavy Rotation Full Hair Keep Lock Mascara
The newest player on the hair-control team, this mascara keeps flyaways and baby hairs in place without flattening your hair, ensuring a natural and non-greasy finish.
KRACIE Ichikami Hair Styling Stick
What I love about this product is that it doesn’t leave a shiny, sticky finish. So if you decide to let your hair down, it won’t feel clumpy. The lightweight formula also doesn’t tug on the roots of your hair, which is great news for anyone with fine, thin strands.
FRESH Hairlab Hya Keratin Super Sleek Styling Stick
It’s in the name; FRESH’s styling stick is ideal for girls who pull their hair into ponytails and buns on the daily. It relies on hero ingredients like carnauba wax, microcrystalline wax, beeswax, hydrolyzed keratin and hyaluronic acid to give your style a strong hold and enviable shine.
