What is hair gel?

Hair gel, hair cream, styling gel and just gel - dear child has many names. Although gel for the hair has several different names, the purpose is the same. It is used to give the hair hold, so you can style it just as you dream. Hair gel can be used by both men and women, and you don't necessarily need curls to get the maximum benefit from a styling gel.

You can use both a hair gel to define a hairstyle and to emphasize big and small curls even more, so they stand great all day. A hair gel simply holds the hair in place and allows you to be creative with your hairstyle. Last but not least, a nice gel for the hair can also be the icing on the eye as it can add shine or a matte finish, as needed.

A really good hair gel helps your hairstyle and curls to last the day - and sometimes even several days in a row. This means you don't have to style your hair with a wealth of hair products on a daily basis. By using a hair gel you get a stronger hold than by using e.g. hair spray and hair wax.

What types of hair gel are there?

At CurlsForYou we offer a wealth of different types of hair gel from a variety of brands such as. Bounce Curl, Innersense and Eco Styler, and which version to choose depends on your hair type and what you personally prefer. You will find both gel for the hair which has the well known and more powerful gel texture, but also the more creamy versions such as. hair cream.

With a light hair cream, you get a styling gel that does not weigh your hair, but which effectively goes in and defines and highlights the natural shape of your curls. Although it has a thinner and softer texture, it can easily add the desired volume to your curls. Do you instead have nice curls that either tend to curl or hide?

In that case, a curl enhancing gel for the hair will be the preferred choice. Not only does a curl enhancing gel make your curls more defined, it also curbs frizz and extends the curls' durability. If you have very thin hair and fine curls, be careful not to use too much gel, as it can easily weigh thin and fine hair.

How do I use gel in my hair?

It is really difficult to say how to use a gel or hair cream as it simply depends on the product. All our products state how to use it to get the maximum effect. That being said, you will find both gel that can be used in dry hair and gel that cuddles into towel-dried hair after a hair wash.

If you have curls, you can advantageously apply a hair cream to curls while the hair is moisturized. Because it can really get the curls going! Simply distribute the gel between your palms and then apply it to your hair with a flat hand to separate the curls.

Next, you squeeze the product well into the hair by starting from the tips of the hair and working your way up to the scalp so that the hair gel forms a "crystal layer" around all the curls. You can either let it air dry or use a hair dryer or diffuser, but it is just important that you make sure to crush the scrunch of the products out of the hair afterwards.

You definitely get the most out of your hair gel by following the instructions from the specific manufacturer. In general, if you want to add a little extra love to your hair before and after a styling, you may want to combine your gel-styling routine with a delicious nourishing hair cure and leave-in conditioner between the hair washes to help keep your hair healthy and beautiful.
