What does dipping the head in wax do

dark-souls-3

So I'm in the Grand Archives, and I came across a pool of wax I can dunk my head into. When I do so, I get a nice fancy looking head covered in wax.

So, that looks pretty fancy and all, but what exactly does this do?

The waxed head will make you immune to the damage and curses those Ghost Hands inflict, as seen below. The buff only lasts for a few minutes, but there's a couple pools spread throughout the grand archives, so you don't need to always run back to that one to reapply the buff.
