Ok i can help you with two of these. Wax is hard and sticky. You would use it if you have short hair and want to give it texture. Wax also allows your hair to move though. Gel is a liquid that drys in your hair and leaves it hard and in one place. I think pomade is like a grease that just slicks your hair down. I'm sorry i have not heard of paste.
