If you’ve ever tried to tame frizz or smooth flyaways and ended up with hair that felt sticky, heavy, or just…not like your hair anymore, you’re not alone. Most styling products are packed in plastic, loaded with synthetic ingredients, and leave behind residue that builds up over time.
I wanted something different. Something that fits with the Janni Bars philosophy: effective, low-waste, and kind to both your hair and the planet. That’s how the Hair Wax Stick was born.
Why a Hair Wax Stick?
For years, I’ve been helping people switch from bottles to bars for their shampoo and conditioner. The next logical step was styling—but there was a gap. Most styling products come in plastic tubs, aerosol cans, or tubes full of silicones and synthetic polymers.
I kept hearing the same questions from customers:
- “What can I use for flyaways that isn’t full of chemicals?”
- “Is there a plastic-free option for styling?”
- “I love the bars, but I still rely on a conventional wax or spray.”
So I set out to create a solid, plastic-free styling product that would:
- Smooth frizz and baby hairs
- Add soft, flexible hold (not crunchy or stiff)
- Give a natural, healthy-looking shine
- Be easy to use, easy to travel with, and easy to love
And, of course, it had to be palm oil free, cruelty free, and made with natural ingredients.
What Makes the Hair Wax Stick Different?
This isn’t your typical hair wax. There’s no harsh alcohol, no synthetic fragrance, and no plastic packaging. Instead, the Hair Wax Stick is packed with nourishing butters and oils that care for your hair while you style.
Think of it as a cross between a styling product and a treatment: it helps your hair look good in the moment, but it also supports its health over time.

Who Is It For?
Short answer: almost everyone.
The Hair Wax Stick is designed to work across different hair types and styles:
- Curly and wavy hair: Great for smoothing frizz around the hairline without weighing curls down.
- Straight hair: Perfect for sleek ponytails, buns, and polished styles.
- Short hair: Adds light texture and control without that stiff “helmet” feeling.
- Kids’ hair: Handy for taming little flyaways for school photos or special occasions, without harsh styling sprays.
If you already love your Janni Bars shampoo and conditioner, the Hair Wax Stick is the next step to complete your plastic-free hair routine.
How to Use the Hair Wax Stick
You don’t need much—this is one of those “a little goes a long way” products.
For Flyaways and Frizz
- Style your hair as usual (bun, ponytail, braid, or loose).
- Gently swipe the Hair Wax Stick over the areas with flyaways—usually around the hairline or parting.
- Smooth with your fingers or a brush for a sleek finish.
For Texture and Soft Hold
- Warm a little product between your fingertips by rubbing the stick lightly, then your fingers together.
- Work through the ends or mid-lengths of your hair to add definition and light texture.
- Scrunch into curls or twist into waves for a relaxed, lived-in look.
For Short Hair
- Apply directly to the hair, focusing on the areas you want to shape.
- Style with your fingers for a natural, piecey finish.
You can use it on dry hair for best results. If your hair is very fine, start with a tiny amount—you can always add more.
Why Solid and Plastic-Free?
One of the biggest sources of bathroom waste is haircare packaging: bottles, tubs, sprays, and pumps that are used once and thrown away. With shampoo and conditioner bars, we’ve already proven that you don’t need plastic to get great results.
The Hair Wax Stick follows the same logic:
- No plastic bottle or tub
- No aerosol can
- No unnecessary packaging
Just a compact, solid product that does the job and fits into a low-waste lifestyle.
Every time you reach for a solid product instead of a bottled one, you’re cutting down on plastic and choosing something that’s lighter to ship and easier to recycle or compost (depending on your local options).
How It Fits Into Your Routine
If you’re already using Janni Bars shampoo and conditioner, the Hair Wax Stick slots in seamlessly:
- Wash with your favourite shampoo bar (Dagda, Lir, Apollo, etc.).
- Condition with a matching conditioner bar for softness and slip.
- Style with the Hair Wax Stick to finish the look.
It’s also a great “final touch” on days when you’re not washing your hair but want to look put-together in seconds.
Early Reactions
Since giving email subscribers first access, the response has been incredible—almost every order has included a Hair Wax Stick. That tells me two things:
- You’ve been waiting for a natural, plastic-free styling option.
- Once people try it, it quickly becomes a staple in their routine.
As more feedback comes in, I’ll be sharing tips, tricks, and favourite ways to use it—from slick buns to soft, textured waves.
Why I’m Excited About This Launch
This product has been on my mind for a long time. It’s not just “another product”—it’s a piece of a bigger puzzle: helping you build a complete, low-waste haircare routine that doesn’t feel like a compromise.
No trade-off in results. No trade-off in ingredients. And no trade-off in how you feel when you look in the mirror.
Just Wax on. Waste off.
