It’s the go-to for stylishly groomed men’s hairstyles — what with the fact that it doesn’t stiffen the hair, which allows for all-day styling. Hair wax for men can also be referred to as hair clay or hair putty. It’s on the opposite end of the men’s hair product spectrum as hair gel, which dries hard.

Shampoo your hair and dry it up with a towel. Apply some hair wax or hair mousse to damp hair. Make sure that no locks without hair product coverage left. Style the crown using your fingers or a brush/comb. Spike the hair up and also mess it up a little bit. Point a hair dryer towards the strands you lift with fingers.
