Smooth Stick™ • Hair Taming Wand

The bun is pinned, the ponytail is smooth, and a few little hairs still have other plans. The Smooth Company Smooth Stick™ Hair Taming Wand is made for those final details, helping bring flyaways, baby hairs and shorter strands into a neat, polished finish.

This Dance World bestseller combines a clear styling serum with a specially designed bristle wand, so you can apply product directly where it is needed. From the hairline before ballet class to a quick ponytail check before dinner, it makes small finishing touches feel wonderfully straightforward.

The Smooth Company Smooth Stick – Why You'll Love It

Smooth Stick Hair Taming Wand – Design & Everyday Use

Despite its name, Smooth Stick isn't a solid wax stick. It uses a clear serum and a brush applicator, giving you a different way to control individual strands and smaller areas around the hairstyle.

The custom zigzag bristles bring application and smoothing together. Rather than putting product into your hands first, lightly guide the wand over the surface in the direction you want the hair to sit. Think of it as detail work, not combing through the full length.

The formula contains aloe vera, vitamin E and biotin, and can be used with hair worn up or down. That makes it useful beyond slick-back styling: you can tidy the parting of loose hair or smooth shorter pieces around a half-up look without changing the whole style.

For the best results, start with clean, dry hair. The Smooth Company advises against applying it over hairspray, gel or other styling products, as layering can affect how it performs.

What The Smooth Company Customers Notice

Positive customer feedback often focuses on three practical things: tidier baby hairs, easier slick-back finishing and the convenience of keeping the wand in a bag. Reviews also mention smoothing flyaways without the hard, crusty feel associated with some styling products.

How to Use Smooth Stick for Ballet Buns & Sleek Ponytails

Smooth Stick tidies the surface; elastics and pins secure the hairstyle. Before class or a performance, check that your bun feels comfortable and holds during movement rather than relying on the finishing serum for structural support.

Dance World Beauty Advice – The Smooth Company Smooth Stick

Why We Love It

Not every hair problem needs another full styling routine. Sometimes the ponytail is exactly where you want it, the bun feels secure and you simply need those last few hairs to join in. That's where a small, precise finishing wand makes sense.

For dancers, we particularly like separating the two jobs: build a comfortable, secure hairstyle first, then polish the details. A smoother-looking surface shouldn't mean pulling the hair tighter.

Styling Tip

Use the wand lightly along the surface rather than pushing the bristles deeply into the hairstyle. Follow the direction in which the hair is already lying, and pause to check the result before adding more.

Keep it for targeted finishing rather than repeatedly coating the same area. For a small number of flyaways, a small amount of product is the sensible starting point.
