Hair gel
Hair gel is a hairstyle setting in gel form on a water or water / alcohol basis, which is used to shape the hairstyle ( styling ). The main ingredient is film-forming polymers that wrap around the hair (unlike hairspray ).
The earliest detection of a haargelähnlichen product, a mixture of oils and pine - resins , derived from Clonycavan Man , an Irish Moorleiche v from about 392-201. Chr.
Hair gel is sold in different degrees of firmness: Depending on the degree, the hair can become very firm and hard after drying. Depending on the product, a glossy impression remains after drying; especially with so-called “wetlook” products, an effect should be achieved that makes the hair appear wet even after drying.
Hair gel is primarily used for short, but sometimes also for long hair. It is currently very popular, especially with (young) men.
Unless there is any intolerance, such as If , for example, there is an allergy to the styling product, the risk of hair loss through the use of hair gel is virtually eliminated.
Instead of hair gel, fat ( butter , margarine ), beer or sugar water were used for hair styling in the past .
