Best hair wax for men: A product for every style
For a groomed look
For those of you who like to flaunt a highly groomed and polished hairstyle – like a slick comb-over – the VO5 Extreme Style Groomed Gel Wax (£3.99*) will be your new best friend. It combines the power of a hair gel, without leaving an unwanted crispiness or greasy finish. So essentially, you can really slick, mould and shape your style to perfection!
For a defined look
When styling a hairstyle that require a lot of definition, such as a pompadour, quiff or fauxhawk, you’ll need a hair wax that’s able to craft structured styles and hold them all day. Cue the Lynx Signature Clean Cut Look Definition Wax (£4.29). This product is a firm styling wax that helps to create sculptured styles what will defy gravity! Time to wave goodbye to flat-looking locks.
For on-the-go application
Although you may go through the majority of your day with your hairstyle intact, it’s inevitable that at some point, your ‘do may start to look a little flat and lifeless. To ensure that your style remains pumped up for any after-office antics, pop to the bathroom before you leave work and apply some Toni&Guy Mens Styling Wax Stick (£7.49*). This handy hair wax comes in a stick form, meaning you can literally apply it straight to your hair!
For a matte look
If you prefer more of a matte finish, then the TIGI Bed Head Matte Separation Workable Wax (£13.95*) is exactly what you need to get the job done. Infused with beeswax, this formula will help to give structure, fullness, and loads of texture to your hair, making it the ideal choice for those of you with a thin – or thinning – mane.
