Hair Wax

Hair wax for men

Although hair wax is a slightly stronger and drier product, it is usually less dry and easier to use compared to hair clay. In general, hair wax works best for men with normal to thick hair that is straight to wavy in texture. Wax is quite a versatile hair styling product, and there are many options available.

Properties of hair wax

Hair wax is drier and stronger and therefore, in many cases, provides a medium to high hold. This means your hair stays in place well. Nowadays, hair waxes do not provide as much shine, as men prefer a natural or matte finish. That is why most hair waxes in the Moquer shop offer a medium shine to matte finish.

Another important property of hair wax is that it does not dry in your hair, unlike hair gel or pomade. The wax keeps your hair flexible, allowing for restyling. It also makes your hair less dry, as the wax provides some hydration. A hair wax, for example, is not as dry as a hair clay and does not harden like a hair gel or water-based pomade.

Which men's hairstyles work best with hair wax?

The best hairstyles to achieve with hair wax are slightly looser and not too groomed. Messy and tousled styles work well, but also quiffs, faux hawks, comb-overs, and undercuts. You can also opt for a side-part or slick-back, though these will be slightly less groomed than when using a pomade. A wax is particularly good for keeping hair up or adding definition.

In terms of length, hair wax works well for short to medium-length men's hairstyles. It provides the necessary texture and often has a semi-matte to matte finish.

Best hair wax for men

There are, of course, many hair wax options for men, but it is always useful to know which brands are more popular, making it easier to make a choice. The Danish brand By Vilain is well known on YouTube, and their By Vilain Gold Digger is a very powerful wax. The British brand Hairbond also has a popular product with their Hairbond Shaper, partly due to its famous toffee scent.

Another popular hair wax for men is the Blumaan Wax Fiber (formerly Blumaan Styling Meraki). This product can be used as both a pre-styler and a post-styler. Additionally, the Hanz de Fuko Sponge Wax has been a popular choice for over 10 years. A fan of homebrew brands? Then the O'douds Dry Wax is an interesting product.
