About Hair Gels

There is nothing new about hair gels. It was 20 years ago when they soared up in popularity, but even today, they are the most common hair styling product. Among men, at least. The reason for this is their affordability and ease of use.

Hair gels are popular because they are convenient. For a person who doesn’t have a lot of time for hairstyling, there is nothing better than a hair setting product for quick and effective hair care. Once you are out of the shower, you don’t have to wait for the hair to dry before using the gel. That’s not true for most other hairstyling products. Not only that, applying gel on damp hair, in fact, gives you better results. Also, it doesn’t matter if you have long, short, or medium hair, if you are all for that sleek look, you can use a hair setting product. But before you shop, knowing more about the products available online will help. This article will give you basic know-how of them and also gives you the tips on choosing the right one.

A basic guide to hair gels

The main purpose of using a hair gel is to tame down the hair and to make it more appealing. They have the hold that helps you to style your hair the way you want without much effort. But is that all about it? No by a long shot. There are so many different products online, and the different strengths and weaknesses all of them have. Some make hair rock hard, while others leave it soft and wavy. Some give a wet look to the hair, while some others leave a dry look. Regardless, you should choose the one that is most suitable for you. But here are a few things that you should know about gels before using them.

Benefits of hair gel

The most important selling point of any hair setting product is their hold. They give you infinite control over how you can style your hair regardless of your hair type. Although there are harmful elements in certain hard gels. But that’s a discussion for the next section. Natural hair gels have nutrients in them that can rejuvenate the health and beauty of hair follicles. Because you leave the product on your hair for many hours, all these nutrients get enough time to soak into the hair strands and scalp. There are even products you can use instead of temporary colours. This means you do not have to search for another hair product or spend extra time to use it.

Drawbacks of hair gels

Yes, there are a lot of benefits of hair gels. Still, it’s not all roses. The main deal-breaker for many people is the alcohol content in many products. While alcohol makes the gel easy to spread on the hair and dry faster, it also takes away the moisture content in the hair. Another issue is how it messes up the sebum production in the scalp. Lack of enough sebum can leave the hair even dryer. This is an easy recipe for dandruff and scalp irritation. And, unlike other hair products, gels do not allow much restyling once it dries.

Hair gel vs hair wax

This is an age-old debate. The line between wax and gels are quite blurry, to say the least. According to some, a gel is more helpful in holding the hair while a wax gives the final shine on top of it. But some also say that wax is the same as the gel sans all the extra chemicals and alcohol. To make matters even more confusing, waxes come in different names such as pomade, putty, hair styling paste, moulding gum, etc. But one thing is clear. Wax is greasier than gel and is more often made of natural substances like shea butter, jojoba oil and beeswax.

Hair gels for curly hair

Getting curly hair to behave as you want is not easy. They seem to have an opinion of their own on how to be. But with the right type of product, you really can mellow them out and make them manageable. But there are a few things that you should look out for. Usually, the gels that are meant for curly hairs come loaded with strong chemicals and alcohol. To make the curly hair workable, you need a product with medium or strong hold. If you have a hair that is deficient in moisture, look for those gels that can add moisture to the hair.

Tips on how to buy Hair Gels Online

Not all hair gels look the same or work the same. Similarly, the hair gel that one should use also changes depending on the style he is going for and also the type of hair. However, it is not easy to find the right type of hair gel out of hundreds of different brands out there. That being said, it is still possible to figure out what will work for you if you know what factors to consider in them. Here are a few tips that you can follow while shopping for gels online.

  • Hold strength – This determines how well the hair gel will keep the hair in place. As a general rule, the hold of the gel should depend on the type of your hair. Thick hair requires a stronger hold as it might frizz up more often. On the other hand, if your hair is light, a gel with a light hold would suffice.
  • The shine – You can choose to have a shiny finish to the hair or to go matte. Some products focus on the shine part more and promise to deliver extra shine. So, there is that if you prefer. But the overall shine you will get out of the gel will depend on your hair colour. People with deep black hair will shine in the shine department.
  • Flexibility – It’s hard to keep your hair sleek throughout the day, especially if you happen to ride motorcycles. The wind will cause your hair to fall out of style. But if you use a reworkable gel, getting the hair back to the position is not any difficult. Just run your fingers through the hair, and you are good to go.
  • Look at the ingredients – You don’t want to damage your hair by putting harsh chemicals on it. You should be extra careful if you are buying super hard gels. They might contain too many chemicals, including alcohol, which can dry out your hair and scalp.

Apart from that, don’t forget to wash the gel off the hair at the end of the day. This is really important as cleaning the gel can severely damage your hair. You can find all kinds of hair styling products using our shopping search engine , including hair oils, hair wax, hairspray, and styling mousse. It will also let you compare the prices and features of different products and pick the best one among them. So, don’t forget to check out all the other amazing products from the Health and Beauty category.

Question & Answer

Are hair gels bad for hair?

There are a few side effects of using hair gels. But more precisely, using it the wrong way. If you do not wash off the gel from the hair, it can lead to gel build up in the hair and scalp. This is a serious problem. If you are not careful gel buildup can lead to a dry scalp, and itching and dandruff. Even if you are careful to wash it off every day, applying too much gel on the hair can cause it to flake off, making it look like dandruff. This becomes more evident if you restyle your hair after letting the gel dry. Another problem that can happen because of gel buildup is the increased greasiness on the hair.

What is a hair gel made of?

The main content of artificial styling gels is polymers. The type and composition of the polymer, or polymers, in the hair gel decides the hold and strength of the gel. Apart from that, there will be water, glycerine, stabiliser, thickener, fragrance, and preservative. To balance the pH of the product, manufacturers also add neutraliser to the mix. The water and glycerine help the gel to hold moisture and make it easier to handle. Depending on hold, consistency and the finish that the gel provides, the chemical composition of the gel also changes.

Can you use Vaseline as hair gel?

Some people might wonder why they cannot use Vaseline instead of hair gels. Vaseline does feel kind of similar to hair gels on the hand and is also cheaper. But there are a few things that can go wrong if you use Vaseline on your hair. The immediate effect is that it makes your hair hard and greasy. Also, it is a petroleum jelly, which is a byproduct of the forms while refining crude oil. There are no nutrients in it that can nourish your hair. But one unexpected benefit of using Vaseline on the hair is that it can hold moisture better than most of the hair gels out there. So, if your hair is prone to split ends due to dryness, Vaseline might help you.
