Hair wax is one of the most common hair styling products used by men. It offers enough holding power for medium and short hairstyles for men, without the greasiness of pomade or flakiness of gel. Hair wax also allows you to restyle your hair throughout the day with ease.
However, it lacks holding power for long hair or more extreme hairstyles. Thus, it is most suitable if you have short to medium hair. For those with oily hair, hair wax can be perfect as most give a matte finish with little shine.
How to use: Hair wax works best on dry hair. If you want extra volume, you can blowdry your hair before applying the wax. Take a small amount of wax (size of a coin), place it on your palm and rub your hands to spread the wax evenly and warm it up. Then, rub the product thoroughly through your hair (from the tips down to the roots) and style your hair using your fingers.
Our Recommendations: An affordable and reliable choice is the Gatsby Moving Rubber line, which has a whole range of hair waxes for different hair lengths and styles. Hanz De Fuko produces innovative hair waxes that are paraben-free and made from natural ingredients. Our favourite is their Quicksand, which is part styling wax with high hold and part dry shampoo.

Hair Gel
Next up, we have hair gels. Many of you have probably used hair gels in the past, and you may not have enjoyed the experience previously. However, hair gel can be a powerful hair product in your arsenal! It offers rock-solid holding power that lasts throughout the day and is well-suited for those with thicker hair. Just be careful not to put too much product in one go. When overapplied, hair gels cause flakiness in your hair and the effect can look like dandruff. Take note that once you have applied your hair gel, it’ll be very stiff and difficult for you to restyle. How to use: Use a small of hair gel and thoroughly rub the gel on slightly damp hair. Then, use a comb to style your hair and leave the gel to dry. Be careful not to apply too much hair gel as it can cause flakiness in your hair.Hair Comb
