Wax

Hair wax is a popular product for hair styling for men and is loved by men all over the world. Hair wax is even one of the most popular products for men! This is partly due to the strong hold that wax gives your hair. A good hair wax can provide both a significant shine and a matte finish to your hair, which is the versatility of this product. A hair wax is especially suitable for men with short to medium-length hair, thin hair or thick hair, and is mainly aimed at straight hair. Curls are a bit more difficult to style with a wax because the wax has a thick texture. For that, a pomade from Reuzel is better.

What does wax do to your hair?

With a hair wax, you can style your hairstyle well. Your hair stays well in shape and you can choose your own finish. The biggest advantages of wax in your hair?

• It is a perfect styling product for many hair types
• The wax does not harden as much as gel, so you can keep restyling it all day
• Not only many possibilities in terms of hair styling, but also by creating a subtle to high gloss or a matte finish
• A hair wax for men often contains natural ingredients, making it less harmful to your hair and your skin
• There are also many different types of hair wax equipped with vitamins that not only style your hair, but also nourish it well

Which hair wax is the best?

The answer to this depends entirely on your hair type and the type of hairstyle you have. Quite a few mistakes are made when it comes to hair care for men. We advocate for artisan-made wax with natural ingredients. This way, you not only style your hair, but also provide your hair with good nutrition. This is important for the health of your hair, your scalp, and promoting your hair growth. So, definitely leave those synthetic supermarket wax alone! It will do little good for your hair.

Is wax bad for your hair?

In principle, no, but make sure you get a good wax. So don't go for the synthetic supermarket version. What will make your hair happy is a nourishing wax. So always check the description of a product.

What is hair wax made of?

The wax for your hair is available in 3 variants. They are produced on oil and water bases. The third version is a mix of both. An oil-based hair wax is a bit more difficult to wash out of the hair than the water-based version. However, you need less of it to achieve a comfortable result. If you use a water-based wax, you will notice that it becomes harder than the oil variant.

It is quite personal which one you prefer, but you can at least choose a perfect wax that suits your requirements! To make it a bit easier for you, we have compiled a top 10 best wax (according to us).

How do you apply wax in your hair?

Before you start styling with wax, we have explained the instructions here in a few simple steps:

1. Start by applying a small amount of wax on your finger. Depending on the amount of hair you have, you can first apply an amount the size of a pea. Using too much hair wax will make your hair look greasy.
2. Wax is a hard product, so you will need to warm it up. Spread the wax over your palms and rub them together until it is completely melted and feels easily spreadable.
3. Apply the hair wax to your hair. Start by applying the wax to the back of your head and brush the wax slowly towards the front of your hair.
4. Start styling your hair!

Ultimately, there is no right or wrong way to style your hair with wax. However, it is important not to use too much of the product, to prevent your hair from looking (too) greasy.

Is wax or gel better for your hair?

There is quite a difference between pomade, clay, paste, wax, gel and more. If it comes to wax and gel, the answer to this question will differ per person. But if you ask us, the wax will really win over the gel. Especially if you choose a nourishing wax, there are many more benefits for your hairstyle. Your hair looks healthier, has more potential to grow, and becomes fuller. Gel makes your hair drier than a wax.

What is stronger, wax or gel?

When you apply a gel, your hairstyle becomes harder than when you apply a wax. This is because a gel is usually produced on a water basis. Water dries up. So you have a dry and harder hairstyle. Of course, there are also more refined versions than the heavy chemical pots with blue & yellow gel as we know them from the past.

A wax, especially one based on oil, is less hard and you can continue to style your hair. That becomes a bit more difficult with a gel. Especially the cheap versions that give you those fine white flakes in your hair.
