HOW THEY WORK

Most styling gels work in a similar fashion. Each uses a specific polymers/copolymer that when dry forms a film that that bonds individual hair strands together and provides hold. Polymers are formed by the chaining together (cross-linking) of like molecules. Ideally the best polymers when dry, allow some flexibility, are transparent, do not absorb moisture (become sticky) from the air, and do not flake when brushed. Hair gels provide differing levels of hold depending on the intended use.

 THE KEY IN USING GEL’s
The key in using a gel is to use it in moderation. Most manufactures recommend using a “dime or nickel size” amount in the palm of your hand. Rub your hands together to spread the gel on your palms evenly, and then apply to the hair. Start with a small amount, apply, and add more if needed. The mistake many people make is using too much gel, which causes the hair to become heavy, and makes the hair difficult to style. If your goal is to create lift and or volume, apply the gel to the roots first and work it towards the ends.
