Directions for application and use depends by the product.
A good general rule of thumb for waxes and pomades though, is to work into palms until product warms and apply to hair.Then *slowly* use a coarse, bristle brush comb or brush to pull the product from roots along hairs. Comb slowly. This will keep hairs in contact longer. Apply pressure with your free hand to tack it down. You may have to hold it for a couple of seconds. Don’t overwork it. The more you comb, and the finer comb you use, the more stuck hairs will be separated and rejoined, and less adhesive power will be left. Learn when to stop playing with it.If you find you use too much, a small amount of water on your comb will help thin it out. However, some products wash out very easily with water.
