What Is Dollfie Water Wax?
Dollfie Water Wax is a water base wax used to smooth & style doll’s hair/wig.
I have dolls with wavy textured hair & others with straight hair and while I love all my dolls dearly their hair drives me crazy, at times.
Because within minutes of combing their hair & playing with them, the hair becomes unruly.
And it’s a challenge to photograph the dolls & get the cute dolly scene because there’s flyaway strands all over the place ruining the shot!
Professional doll photographer & photographer for Azone International,
五十嵐 椛 (Momiji), uses Azone Doll Styling Wax to style her dolls’ hair.
Unfortunately, Azone hasn’t offered the wax for sale in a very long time.
VOLKS Water Wax came highly recommended as an alternative to Azone’s wax.
So I decided to give it a try . . . my model is the precious Lil’ Fairy Illumie.
You may remember Illumie from Let’s Meet Lil’ Fairy Illumie review we did recently.
She has wavy texture hair that doesn’t like to lay flat or in place.
What I Like About the Water Wax
Tames the Unruly Hair – The wax does a good job at smoothing down the hair including the pesky flyaways.
What was once wavy & wild is now smooth & manageable.
It makes the hair relax and flowy-like.
It’s Water Soluble – the wax dissolves in water so it’s safe to use on doll wigs. So, if at anytime, I don’t like the wax in the hair I can easily wash it out with water.
What I Dislike Surprised Me About the Wax
It’s a cream. I was expecting the water wax to be hard and waxy but it’s smooth and creamy.
It has a smell. It smells like a face cream or sunscreen.
The smell isn’t too overwhelming or too unbearable . . . but if you have a sensitivity to smells, like I do, then it may irritate your sinuses a little.
Luckily, the smell dissipates over time.
Harmia’s Likes & Dislikes
I need to try the water wax first before giving my opinion.
I look gorgeous . . . I like the water wax!
Final Thoughts
My main concern with my dollies’ hair, were the flyaways and how the hair wouldn’t lay flat after brushing/combing it.
It didn’t take a lot of Dollife Water Wax to eliminate these issues.
As VOLKS says on their website: “A little bit of wax will go a long way.”
I’m happy with the results I got from applying the Dollfie Water Wax to my girls hair and I can’t wait to apply it to the rest of my dolly crew.
I don’t know much about styling dolly hair but with this wax and a few styling techniques, I’ll have the tools needed to create some stunning & amazing dolly hairstyles in the future.

Apologies for commenting on an older post.
I just wanted to say that – thanks in part to this post – I finally purchased some water wax to help tame some of my dolls’ hair. It has worked fantastically in taming Mary Knight’s bangs – she finally has the style shown in all the pretty promotional pictures.
I will admit to being a little taken aback by how small the tub was, but you weren’t kidding about a little going a long way!
I’d like to try some of the oil mist stuff as well, but I haven’t been able to find any. But, yes, importantly, I just want to say thanks for showing off this stuff. It’s been in my head since I first read this post, and I am glad I finally got hold of some.
Thanks!
Hi Z,
No worries. You can comment on any post at anytime 😀
I’m thrilled to hear you found the article helpful 😊
And that’s awesome to hear that it worked in taming Mary’s hair.
It is challenging now, to get a hold of the oil mist by Azone.
I haven’t seen it in hobby shops for quite a while but it may popup some day on sites like Hobby Search.
Thank you for letting me know how the Water Wax worked for you
Thanks for the review! I just got my first Lil Fairy last month and have been considering extra products like these. How does the wax compare to the mist product? What is the purpose of the mist product in comparison to the wax? Thanks
Hello Nessie,
Congratulations on your first Lil’ Fairy!
Azone’s oil mist adds shine, removes static from the doll’s wig and it’s good for taming flyaways.
The oil mist is also great for maintaining the doll’s hair.
To me, the VOLKS water wax is like Azone’s oil mist but in a cream form, leaving the hair slightly stiff.
I used the oil mist in Let’s Meet Lil’ Fairy Illumie photos.
It gave her hair some shine and kept the strands from spreading.
In this post, the water wax made her hair look sleek.
The Azone oil mist is good for light maintenance and styling.
For sleek doll hair, the water wax is a good product to use.
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks for chatting with me, Harmia and Illumie,
Tatyana 🙂
