What kind of hair looks good with gel wax? Recommended hairstyles & hair setting techniques.

Gel wax is a versatile styling product that combines the shine and quick-drying properties of gel with the hold and control of wax. It is an item that is gaining popularity among men because it can be used for both on- and off-duty hair styling, without being too casual or too formal. In this issue, we will introduce suitable hairstyles and recommended gel waxes based on the theme of gel wax.

What are the advantages of using gel wax?

Gel wax is characterized by having the merits of both hair gel and wax. The advantages of gel are shine and ease of styling, plus it is water-soluble and easy to wash out. And the advantage of wax is its overwhelming maneuverability to the ends of the hair. The appeal of wax is that it can easily reproduce fine detailing that cannot be created with hair gel, simply by combining the elements of wax. Among gel waxes, there are two types: hard types, which are similar to hair gel, and soft types, which are similar to wax.

10 hairstyles that gel wax is perfect for! Recommended styling products and tips on how to set them.

Here are some hairstyles using gel wax. Because it produces a glossy look, it is easy to create formal hairstyles similar to those using hair gel, but the merits of wax also make it possible to combine it with an “immaculate” permed style. Why not try the gel wax style, which offers more possibilities than hair gel, as a candidate for your next hairstyle?

Men’s Hair with Gel Wax (1) “A two-block style that combines freshness and maturity.”

This two-block belly-short style is impressive for its bundled look and the dynamic feel created by the up-bang. The crisply cropped black hair makes it look manly, but the gel wax adds shine and movement to the hair, making it look even more manly. The fine, wispy texture of the hair makes it perfect not only for formal occasions but also for sporty-casual outfits. The hair can be styled with the bangs down or over the ears, so it is relatively easy to match any face shape.

▶︎Styling tips

After thoroughly drying the hair with a towel, simply apply gel wax to create a silhouette. Since this hairstyle creates a bunchy look, gel wax’s maneuverability is the best match. However, be careful with the amount of water-soluble styling product, as applying too much will result in a sticky texture and weight.

Men’s hair with gel wax (2) “For a luxurious adult style with hair flow and just the right amount of volume.

A permed hair style with a slight volume and movement. The bangs and top part of the hair are left long enough to be softly textured by perms. Conversely, the length of the back is adjusted and permed to add a lot of movement. While it is cool to finish the up-bang style with some length left tight with hair gel, it is also good to finish it voluminously while adding shine as in this hair style. Since the sides are tight and the top is voluminous, the trick to make it look good is to adjust the position of the beard and trim if you are concerned about vertical lines.

▶︎Styling Tips

While wet, determine the position of the hair parting to some extent, then dry it with a hair dryer. The key is not to dry the entire hair thoroughly, but rather to dry only the root of the hair. Once the hair is dry to a certain degree, rub gel wax into the ends of the hair to create the perfect silhouette.

Men’s hair with gel wax (3) “Medium center part with wet hair for a wild texture.

Medium length hair with volume is loosely curled with a large rod to create a natural look. The key point is that the center part, which could easily be finished elegantly, has been given a wild look by creating a wet texture. The silhouette of the parted hair is also masculine, with the parting of the hair not being firmly parted, but instead being roughly brushed up. The silhouette with volume on the sides suits those with long faces or tight beards, while the mature finish is perfect for those with round faces that tend to look younger.

▶︎Styling tips

Towel-dry hair thoroughly and rub gel wax into damp hair thoroughly. The key to a successful finish is to blend the styling product into the hair before drying it because of the large volume of hair. Use a crumpling and grabbing hand to avoid pulling and stretching the hair to give it a permanent texture.

Men’s hair with gel wax ④ “The fade cut and side parted ironic style is taken up a notch with gel wax.

A fade cut starting at 3mm around the face, with the top part left long and side-parted. The secret to the popularity of this combination is the combination of the side parting’s sophisticated atmosphere and the fade cut’s masculinity. The key is to add gel wax to add shine and a sharp bunched-up look to accentuate the look of a more sophisticated man. This man is wearing it with a beard, but it would also look good without a beard for a clean-cut look.

▶︎Styling Tips

Apply gel wax to semi-dried hair and finish by letting it flow to one side. If there is too much styling product at this point, the top part of the hair will not look voluminous, so use a small amount. However, remember to finish the hair speedily to some extent because it will harden if you add a little at a time as you set it.

Men’s hair with gel wax ⑤ “Adult holiday style Mohawk with shine and playful hair ends.

The two-block width is slightly shortened for a natural look. The warm brown color also creates a relaxed atmosphere. The understated two-block style and the low height of the top part create a soft Mohawk that is easy to match even for those with long faces.

▶︎Styling tips

Apply gel wax to towel-dried hair and gather in the center to create a Mohawk silhouette. The beak part should be lightly voluminized and the hair ends should be scattered in the direction of the hair ends. We recommend having curly or lightly permed hair for a more cozy look.
