Nishman Hair Styling Aqua Wax 05 — Keratin 150ml is the water-based keratin-enhanced styling wax from Nishman that delivers the high shine and firm hold of a traditional wax with the added benefits of keratin protein strengthening — making it one of the most versatile and client-friendly pomades in the professional barbershop range.
Nishman has built its reputation on a wide range of styling waxes that address the full spectrum of hair types and styling preferences, and the Aqua Wax 05 Keratin is one of the most popular products in the entire lineup. The water-based formula is a significant advantage over oil-based alternatives: it rinses clean with a single shampoo wash, meaning clients can maintain their style daily without product buildup or the heavy feeling that oil-based waxes can leave over time. The keratin infusion serves a dual purpose — it adds protein to the hair shaft to improve strength, resilience, and smoothness while also enhancing the wax's ability to tame and control even the most unruly or coarse hair types. The finish is a rich, glossy shine that makes this Nishman product the go-to choice for classic slick-back styles, pompadours, and any look where a high-shine, polished appearance is the goal. The hold is firm and long-lasting without becoming crunchy, dry, or difficult to rework during the day.

How to Use
Scoop a hazelnut-sized amount of Nishman Aqua Wax 05 Keratin into the palm of your hand. Rub both palms together to soften and warm the product, distributing it evenly across both hands. Apply to dry or slightly damp hair, working from the front hairline back or distributing through the full length of the hair depending on the style. Use a comb to refine the shape, part line, or slick-back direction. Apply the Nishman wax in layers if additional hold or shine is needed — start with a small amount and build gradually. The wax washes out easily at the end of the day with warm water and shampoo.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is Nishman Aqua Wax 05 Keratin suitable for daily use?
A: Yes. The water-based formula is designed for daily application and rinses out cleanly with standard shampoo, making it one of the most scalp-friendly professional waxes for everyday grooming routines.
Q: What does the keratin in this Nishman wax actually do for the hair?
A: Keratin is the primary protein that naturally comprises the structure of human hair.
