'''Hair wax''' is a thick hairstyling product containing [[wax]], used to assist with holding the hair. It does not harden like products such as [[hair gel]], but remains pliable. Hair wax has been used for many years. In fact, a waxy soap-like substance was invented by the ancient [[Gaul]]s as a hair styling agent, and was not used as a cleaning agent until many years later. Hair wax is currently experiencing an increase in popularity, with many manufacturers releasing versions, referred to as [[pomade]], putty, glue, whip, and styling paste.
