This hair wax is suitable for all hair types and lengths. It is ideal for men who want a sleek, sculpted look with high hold and a classic, polished shine (such as slick-backs, side parts, or defined waves and curls) without greasy buildup or helmet-like stiffness.

All-Day High Hold & Clean Shine: Delivers the structured control and wet-look polish of a classic pomade using clean, plant-based chemistry.

Supports Scalp & Hair Health: Infused with Saw Palmetto, Rosemary, and Nettle extracts so your styling product actively conditions your scalp throughout the day.

Zero Petroleum or Pore-Clogging Buildup: Completely water-soluble and free from heavy waxes or silicones, meaning it rinses out effortlessly with warm water and will not trigger forehead breakouts.

Flake-Free Cast: Sets within 5 to 10 minutes into a clean, structured hold that never turns crusty or flakes onto your shoulders.

Unlike matte clays that prefer dry hair, this wet wax performs best when applied to clean, wet or damp hair.

Step 1: Scoop a dime-sized amount of Hair Wax out of the jar and rub it between your palms until it warms up into an even, clear layer.

Step 2: Apply to clean, wet hair, working the product thoroughly from the roots to the ends for uniform coverage.

Step 3: Use a comb for a sharp, classic side part or slick-back, or use your fingers to define natural waves and texture.

Step 4: Allow your hair to sit untouched for 5 to 10 minutes as it dries. This setting window activates the corn-starch polymer and forms a clean, polished cast that locks in your hold and shine for the day.

This product is 100% vegan and free from petroleum, silicones, parabens, and synthetic fragrances. Please note that it contains botanical extracts (including Saw Palmetto, Rosemary, Nettle, Gotu Kola, and Green Tea), Salicylic Acid (used at a gentle trace level as part of the preservative system), and natural Neroli Flower Oil.The 2nd's Recommendation: Always perform a patch test on a small area of skin before first use to ensure no irritation occurs. For external use only.

Two pro-tips will help you master the "wet wax" technique on your very first try. First, pay close attention to that 5-to-10-minute setting window after you style your hair. Because this formula uses a natural corn-derived polymer (MaizeCare) instead of heavy grease, it needs a few minutes to bond as the water in your hair evaporates. Once you comb your hair into place while wet, keep your hands out of it for 10 minutes so that polished cast can lock in. Second, if you ever want a slightly softer, more touchable finish rather than a firm wet-look cast, wait until the wax is 100 percent dry and gently run your fingers or a wide-tooth comb through your hair once to "break the cast." You will keep all the definition and frizz control while softening the hold.

A crisp, subtle botanical citrus-floral profile derived from pure Neroli (Orange Blossom) Flower Oil and Rosemary Leaf Extract.

What is the difference between this Hair Wax and Jack Henry's Hair Clay?

It comes down to finish and hair texture. Hair Clay is a water-free, 4-ingredient formula made with Bentonite Clay and Beeswax that gives you a zero-shine, gritty matte finish and fluffy volume. Hair Wax is a water-based clear gel-wax designed to be applied to wet hair for a sleek, high-shine, neatly combed finish with zero grit.

Will this clog my pores or cause breakouts along my hairline like traditional pomades?

No. Traditional high-shine waxes and pomades use petrolatum (petroleum jelly) and mineral oil, which trap sweat and bacteria against your forehead. Jack Henry's Hair Wax is 100 percent petroleum-free and silicone-free, using breathable plant extracts and water-soluble corn starch that will not congest your skin.

Do I need a special clarifying shampoo to wash this out at night?

Not at all. Because the base is built on water, Glycerin, and water-soluble MaizeCare rather than heavy beeswax or petroleum, it rinses completely clean with warm water in the shower.
