styling gel

Sculpting hair product

Styling gel is a thick, often translucent substance applied to hair to hold it in place or create particular looks.

Gels typically dry stiff, making them useful for sculpted styles, spikes, or slicked-back hair: He used too much styling gel and his hair looked wet all day.

Lighter-hold gels offer flexibility without the crunch.
