Hair Wax

Hair Wax

A thick hair styling product that contains wax. Different brands use different kinds of wax and other ingredients to create various kinds of finishes. This form of hair styling products has been in use for a very long time, centuries before gel was part of the hairstyling product segment.

In comparison to gel hair wax also remains pliable for longer and has fewer harmful chemicals, though the latter bit does depend on the specific type of course. Due to these two reasons it has grown in popularity over the past few years and is sold under various names such as pomade, putty, moulding gum or styling paste. 

Brands also spend time to develop subtle scents for their hair wax so the product has more than just a look, adding more nice smells to your person.

More about hair wax

Hair wax needs to be applied in moderation as it can make hair look greasy. It is also usually insoluble in water which means it can be harder to wash out, one needs to properly wash their hair to get it out. Washing it out with warm water would help some as that would make wax less viscous.

Gel is generally used for more spiky or hard set hair, hair wax on the other hand has a more natural feel to it. One can also find wax with different finishes, meaning there are options for some more matt options as well. Another advantage of hair wax is that it can be used for more varied lengths of hair.

For a more funky look, you can also find hair wax that has colour or shimmer added into it, this allows you to change the colour of your hair for the night out.

Summer and winter hair wax application varies, so one may need to adjust based on how the temperature is affecting their hairstyle.
