Black African magic wax prints, also known as African wax prints, Holland wax prints, or Ankara prints, are vibrant and colorful fabrics that have gained popularity both within Africa and around the world. These fabrics are often associated with African fashion and are commonly used to create traditional clothing such as dresses, skirts, and head wraps. The history of black African magic wax prints can be traced back to the 19th century when Dutch merchants first introduced them to West Africa. Initially, these fabrics were produced in the Netherlands and were intended to mimic Indonesian batik fabrics. However, over time, the West African market transformed these fabrics into something unique and distinctly African. What sets African wax prints apart from other fabrics is their vibrant and bold designs.

Magec (not "Magic" Glow in the Dark Wax) is the first wax released in our new Experimental Series. Different from our other "Series" Experimental Series or X Series waxes are completely unique formulations. Magec is not just the World's First Glow in The Dark Hard Wax , but also a serious hair removal system! That's right, don't be fooled by the gimmicky glow when the lights go out because this wax is so much more. Based on our Best in Class Signature Series, Magec is hyper elastic, hypoallergenic, vegan, cruelty free, and for the first time ever a MICA-Free Wax from Mermaid. You asked for it and now you have a mica-less hard wax with a nearly colorless strip. Apply this baby super thin and use HALF the wax you would with other polymer blend "film" waxes. IS there really anything to compare this to? No. Let's see you wax when the lights go out with literally ANY other wax! Don't actually do this, but you can ;) Glowing in the dark is better with a Blacklight or UV light (pro-tip), but not at all required. Remember it's not Magic Wax, it's "Magec" Glow in the Dark wax! ;)

**Adding glitter is NOT RECOMMENDED for Magec!
StoryMagec means one who Possesses Radiance. “They” (fluid gender or gender unknown) are a God(ess) from the ancient Berber Mythology of Africa. The Berber mythology, although largely developed independently, has traces and overlaps of other ancient African & Northern African mythologies as well as ancient Egyptian religion. Magec was also known as the Mother of Brightness and was considered the Goddess of the Sun. The God Guayota held Magec prisoner inside the mountain Teide on the Canary Islands (an active volcano at the time). Magec will brighten any darkness with the radiance it possesses. Watch as this Glow in the Dark Wax glows inside your wax warmer and on any surface it touches!
- Pour wax beads into a professional wax warmer.
- Heat up the wax until the consistency is creamy such as honey or molasses (normally takes about 20-30 minutes depending on the size of warmer).
- Test temperature of wax on the inside of your wrist.
- Always use a new spatula for each application -NO DOUBLE DIPPING! Using the edge of a wax spatula, apply a thin layer of wax in the direction of the hair growth using smooth and firm pressure.
- Wait a couple of seconds for the wax to cool. Stretch the skin tight during removal. Remove wax in one quick, swift motion parallel to the surface of the skin in the opposite direction of the hair growth.
- Repeat as needed.
Note: Normally only one application is needed for each area. If necessary, a cleanup strip should remove any "stragglers" left behind. Rarely will you need to use a third application over the same area if you're using the wax properly. We have a variety of online training or email [email protected] for more help.
IngredientsThe combination of vibrant colors and symbolic motifs creates a visually striking fabric that is instantly recognizable. In addition to their aesthetic appeal, African wax prints have become symbols of African identity and pride. The fabrics are often worn during special occasions such as weddings, festivals, and ceremonies. They are also used to showcase cultural heritage at events and celebrations. In recent years, African wax prints have gained global recognition and are now being incorporated into mainstream fashion and design. The manufacturing process of African wax prints involves using wax-resistant techniques to create intricate designs on the fabric. The process begins with a design being drawn on a roller, which is then carved into a pattern. Hot wax is then applied to the fabric using the carved roller, creating a barrier that prevents the dye from penetrating the waxed areas. The fabric is then submerged in dye, typically in a series of vibrant colors. After dying, the fabric is boiled to remove the wax, revealing the intricate and colorful design. Today, African wax prints are not only used for clothing but also for a variety of other purposes such as home decor, accessories, and even upholstery. The popularity of these fabrics has led to the growth of an industry that produces African-inspired designs on a global scale. In conclusion, black African magic wax prints are vibrant and culturally significant fabrics that have become an essential part of African fashion and culture. With their bold designs, rich colors, and symbolism, these fabrics represent the beauty and diversity of African heritage. They continue to captivate people around the world and serve as a testament to the creativity and artistic expression of African cultures..
Reviews for "The artistry of black African magic wax fabric: highlighting the work of African designers"
1. Jennifer - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "Black African Magic Waxd". The story was confusing and hard to follow, and the characters were flat and uninteresting. The pacing was also off, with long stretches of nothing happening followed by rushed and underdeveloped plot points. Overall, it felt like a poorly executed attempt at creating a magical world. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a captivating read.
2. Mike - 1 star - "Black African Magic Waxd" was a complete letdown. The writing was amateurish, with grammatical errors and awkward sentence structures throughout the book. The dialogue was unrealistic and cringeworthy, making it difficult to connect with any of the characters. The plot itself was predictable and lacked originality. I found myself skimming through pages just to get to the end and be done with it. Save your money and skip this one.
