Someone asked if you would use wax in your hair? Well, if you use jojoba oil in your hair, you are in fact, using a wax. Same thing with lanolin. People need to research things before jumping to conclusions. Beeswax and parafin wax ARE NOT the same thing. Someone asked if you would use wax in your hair?

Beeswax is a natural product made by bees while paraffin is, if I'm not mistaken, a petroleum product. I don't know what benefits beeswax would have in a hair care product (though I know it was traditionally used in pomades), but I've made salves and used hand lotions that had it in them and there were no adverse effects to my skin. Beeswax smells really nice, whereas paraffin doesn't really have a smell. I think paraffin would be harder to get out of the hair than beeswax.
