To style and sculpt a hairstyle, consumers have access to a panoply of sculpting products. Two of the most popular styling products are hair wax and hair gel. While you can alternatively use both products to sculpt your hair, each product have unique characteristics, and some people my prefer one over the other.
Texture
The texture of wax is more thick, gummier and malleable than that of gel. Wax often has a white color, and many manufacturers release the product under pomade or paste. Hair gel has a very different texture. It is clear, goopy and feel much more heavier.
Composition
Unlike hair gel which contains alcohol, hair wax does not dry hard and therefore and can be more easy to use and sculpt with overall.
The look
Both sculpting products work best on a short haircut. While the wax will give the hair a softer more natural look, the gel gives a more solid hold. However, too much of the gel can give your hair a hard stiffed or "frozen" look while when too much of the wax is used, the hair can look greasy.
Application
Both products are applied onto the hair using the fingers and fingertips. Gel, however, is preferably applied to dry hair while the wax can be used on both damp and dry hair. Gels are good if you want to add some weight to your frizz and wax is best if you want to sculpt some spikes or create a faux hawk.
What people like
Many people prefer wax over gel because it does not give the hair that crunchy or crusty look. Moreover, because wax doesn't dry, it doesn't cracks into flakes and doesn't leave residues like hair gel. But, because hair gel gives a better hold, some people still prefer the use of gel.
Most manufacturers offer you the option between the two sculpting products, but the ultimate decision on what product, hair wax or gel, works best for you will come by trying them.
