Hair gel is a styling product used to hold hair in place and create various hairstyles. It typically comes in a tube or jar and has a thick, sticky consistency. Hair gel can provide different levels of hold, from light to strong, allowing users to achieve their desired look, whether it's sleek and smooth or spiky and textured. Most hair gels are made from water, alcohol, and polymers that help to stiffen the hair. They can be applied to damp or dry hair and are often used by both men and women. Some gels also contain ingredients that add shine or moisture to the hair.
