Hair gel is a traditional hair styling product that gives your hair a shiny or matte look and extreme hold in the desired position. Of course, the name comes from the gel texture and is most often applied to wet hair, hence the association with the classic shiny look. If this is your first time encountering gel and you're not sure how to work with this product, don't worry because we've put together a list that you won't miss.
Choose the right gel for your hair
All hair gels may seem the same, but when it comes to styling your hair, it's important to choose the right one for your hair type. The first things you need to think about are how long you want your hair to stay the way you styled it, what finish you want to achieve, and whether you want to get rid of gray hair. For a three-in-one option, we recommend MNLY ANTI-GREY hair gel which is applied to dry hair, has a refreshing scent and will give you a light "Latino" shine, cover gray hair and lightly fix your hairstyle for that youthful, MNLY look.
Apply gel to clean hair
For best results, we recommend using the gel on clean, towel-dried hair and leaving it in until it dries naturally. Applying the gel to oily, unwashed hair will make it harder for the gel to set, making the final look of your hair greasier and the texture crunchier.
Use a sufficient amount
It's easy to overdo it with the amount of product, but when it comes to gel, it's best to start with small amounts and add more if you need more – rather than putting on too much and having to wash your hair again.
Set up the product correctly
If you want a sleek look, first apply gel to your hair, then run a comb through your hair to better distribute the product throughout your hair and style it the way you want. If you have curly hair, massage the product into your hair with your hands for a natural, messy look.
