Best Volumizing Hair Wax and Gel for Thickening Hair

If you’ve used many different types of styling gels and waxes you’ve probably noticed that some products can make your hair look thinner and other products make your hair look thicker and more ‘volumized’. However it seems impossible to tell which ones do which. So, over the last year or so I’ve been personally testing loads of different products to find ones that make your hair look thicker AND have some beneficial ingredients that may help promote hair growth. Here’s what I found.
