A Japanese styling wax for shaping and holding everyday looks.
Why Asian Stylists Recommend It

Best for
Everyday shaping and hold on thick, straight Asian hair.
Avoid if
You want a truly matte, oil-free finish, as waxes tend to leave some sheen.
Why we recommend it
Nakano's Tanto line is a long-running Japanese drugstore styling wax used for defining and holding hair through the day. Its firm, workable texture suits the thick, straight strands common to Asian hair, letting you carve separation and movement that would otherwise fall flat.
