Strong hold you can still touch.
Most waxes make a decision and stick to it. This one stays workable, so a slicked pony can be adjusted at 4pm without going near a tap.
Holds
High hold with a natural finish — no shine-free crust, no helmet.
Reworks
Stays pliable through the day, so you can adjust a style instead of redoing it.
Softens
Shea butter keeps it from going sticky or greasy the way wax usually does.
What it is
It works on wet or dry hair, and a little goes a very long way — warm it between your fingers first and build from there. Shea butter is what keeps the texture soft instead of tacky.
How to use it
One
Piecey waves: warm a dime-sized amount in your palms and finger-comb it through.
Two
Braids: a small amount on the fingertips smooths flyaways and keeps sections clean.
Three
Slick ponytails: work it through the hairline with a dense brush, then smooth the rest over any strays.
A little goes a long way — warm it between your fingers before it goes anywhere near your hair. Start small on fine hair and build.
What's in it
Shea butter
Keeps the wax soft and workable, and stops the hold turning into stiffness.

Questions about Amika On Lock
Will it leave my hair greasy or sticky?
No. It's built for a high hold with a soft, natural finish — no stickiness, no greasy residue.
Can you use it on long hair?
Yes. It's excellent for taming edges, controlling braids and finishing sleek ponytails on longer hair.
Is it suitable for fine hair?
Yes — start with a small amount and build, so you don't weigh fine strands down.
Wet hair or dry hair?
Either. On damp hair it enhances natural waves; on dry hair it's for detail and control.
