Many men and women are afraid of using gels for hair styling, thinking that it makes their hair look too wet or feel sticky. Especially if you tried hair gels many years ago when they were all the rage, you may have been left less than enthusiastic about the results, and so you swore off using them entirely. However, today’s gels have changed and we think you should give them a second look.
Even if you are big gel fan and have been using it for years, you could be stuck in a rut, using the same product you discovered when you were 15. Your hair changes as you age, and so do styles. Maybe it’s time to update your hair gel as well?
Not Your Grandma’s Hair Gel
Not only do many hair gels today have better texture and less stickiness than previous generations of gels, but they often are combined with beneficial ingredients that can actually improve your hair’s overall health, tame frizz, smooth the hair shaft, add color, smell great and more! Whether you want to mold your hair into an impenetrable sculpture, or leave it soft and touchable, there is a gel for you.
