Hair Wax Reviews
First of all let us discuss what hair wax is. This is a styling product which is used for styling hair into different styles. Hair wax is a milky, gum like substance which smooths into a paste. This styling product comes with different holding strength which can be from 2 to 10. It works best on messy hair and is used for achieving flicks or defining layered hairstyle. It is great for smoothing and twisting short locks into place, and separating hair strands.
Hair wax is very thick and contains some wax in it. It is called by many styling products names, which depends upon the distributor. Some names for these products are glue, paste, whip, putty or pomade. All these hair styling products have some amount of wax in them, and even though they are not called hair wax products, they can be still referred as wax-base hair care products.
Here is some more information on hair wax styling products. Given below, is the difference between hair wax and gel based products, tips on using hair wax, and removing it, and the best hair wax products available.
Hair Wax Vs Gel
Wondering about the differences between hair wax, or pomade vs gel? There are two types of hair styling products which are mostly used, which are the water based products and wax based products. Hair styling products like gel and hair mousse are water based, as they dry out and make the hair stiff. However, wax based products don't dry the hair, but still create shine, like gel or mousse. Also, hair don't go stiff so you can go on styling them throughout the day.
How to Use Hair Wax
Hair wax works on both wet and dry hair, and it is advisable to use it on clean hair. However, it works better on dry hair. It is important that you don't use too much of hair wax, or it will give a look of unwashed hair. To use hair wax, rub the wax between your palms to warm it up, this will make working with the wax easier. Avoid using wax on long hairstyles, as it can give a greasy feeling, so go easy. So, hair wax for men's hairstyles work the best, as men's hairstyles are mostly short hairstyles. Then style your hair into the desired look. The result will be different, depending upon the strength of the product. It works best for short medium hair, as it helps to create unkempt messy hairstyle look.
How to Remove Hair Wax
To get rid of wax from hair, wash your hair, first clean with warm water, by using your fingertips to mildly scrub the scalp, and run your fingers in different sections of hair and squeeze out hair wax. Then use a hair clarifying shampoo, and massage it well on the scalp and the hair. Keep it for 2 minutes, and then wash your hair again with warm water thoroughly. If you feel there is still some wax left, then wash your hair again.
Product Reviews
Some of the best hair wax products are FX Molding Wax, Gatsby Moving Rubber Spiky Edge, Paul Mitchell Spray Wax and Schwarzkopf Osis Air Pomade Wax Spray. FX Molding Wax priced around $7 is good for lifting hair or giving a textured look, and has a good hold. Paul Mitchell Spray Wax comes in a convenient to use spray, and is priced around $16 for a 7.4 oz bottle. Gatsby Moving Rubber Spiky Edge comes in a jar, and has a hold of 9, its smells great and easy to use, however difficult to wash. This product comes around $10.
