Hair wax is a styling product used to create and hold various hairstyles. It typically has a thick, creamy texture and is made from natural or synthetic waxes, oils, and other ingredients. Hair wax provides a strong hold while allowing for flexibility, making it ideal for both structured and messy looks. To use hair wax, a small amount is warmed between the fingers and then applied to dry or slightly damp hair. It can be used to define curls, add texture, or tame flyaways. Unlike gels, hair wax does not leave a stiff finish, allowing for a more natural appearance.
