I know this from my hairdresser wax and have it be ordered for me at home. All you need is a fingertip, giving his hair a flexible hold - thus the can holds quite a while. The wax forms, if one always closes it right, no lumps and is great to use even after two months yet. The best part of the wax is really the slightly dull look that lasts all day. Will definitely stay for the time being in this wax.
