Question: what is the difference between hair wax and hair gel?
Answer: Unlike a hair gel, you should apply a wax on dry hair. It gives you a warm, matte finish that's perfect for formal hairstyles. Hair wax is water and oil based and can be slightly harder to wash off with just water. If you want to go for a smart hairstyle like a slicked back hairdo, using a hair wax is your best bet.
