Proshave's guide to hair gel - and the magic of hair gel!
If I say hair gel, maybe you think of slimy candy hairstyles, or crunchy curls that break when you look at them for too long? It may also be that you are one of the many who have already embraced all the fantastic things a hair gel can do. It is one of the best straighteners on the hair product shelf, which can be used by many different hair types, lengths and styles, and which at the same time can be better for the hair than many other products.
In this article, we here at Proshave will tell you everything our experience with, and research on, has taught us about this versatile product! Just sit back and read along!
What is hair gel?
Hair gel is, in our opinion, the ultimate styling product for both men and women. It is especially popular among men for its versatility and effectiveness. A hair gel allows you to style your hair exactly the way you want and offers a hold that lasts all day. At the same time, the gel's water-based formula is easy to wash out, which makes it ideal for daily use, and a healthier product for your hair.
At Proshave, we know how important it is to choose the right styling product. A good hair gel should not only provide hold, but also care for your hair and add shine and texture. That's why we've carefully selected products to suit every hair type and style, whether you're into the classic, slick-back look or want to define your curls. Later in this article, we will come up with our offer for the best products on the market
Hair gel for you, hair gel for you, hair gel for everyone!
Hair gel can be used for many different types of hair! Here's our overview of uses for curly hair, short hair and longer hair.
Hair gel for curls:
Curls require special attention to keep their shape without losing elasticity or becoming frizzy. A hair gel can be your best friend when it comes to styling and defining curls. To achieve the best result, we recommend the following routine:
- Start with clean and damp hair.
- Apply an appropriate amount of gel – remember, a little goes a long way, especially if you have fine hair.
- Squeeze the jelly in from roots to ends to lock in moisture and shape.
- Allow the hair to air dry or use a diffuser to emphasize the curls even more.
- Finish by slathering a light curling cream or hair oil into the hair for added shine and protection.
At Proshave you will find gels specially developed to support your curls and reduce frizz. We recommend products with ingredients such as Aloe Vera and glycerin, which moisturize and care for the hair while providing a light and natural finish.
Hair gel for short hair:
Short hair and hair gel are a perfect combination. Gel allows you to create structure, hold and control, whether you're going for a polished look or a more relaxed style.
One of the biggest benefits of hair gel for short hair is its ability to create a strong hold that lasts all day. This makes it ideal for slick-back hairstyles, spikes or textured looks. To get the best result:
- Apply gel to damp or dry hair, depending on the desired finish.
- Use your fingers or a comb to style the hair exactly how you want it.
- Let it dry naturally or use a hairdryer for extra hold and volume.
At Proshave we recommend gels that not only provide hold, but also care for the hair. Try a gel with nourishing ingredients such as panthenol, which strengthens the hair and protects it from drying out.
Hair gel for longer hair:
If you have longer hair, hair gel is still a great solution for creating volume, texture and hold. Gel works perfectly as a styling base, preparing the hair for further styling with a brush or hair dryer.
For maximum volume:
- Work the gel into damp hair from the roots to the lengths.
- Use a round brush and a hairdryer to lift the hair and create volume.
- Finish with a light hair spray or serum to maintain the look.
At Proshave, we offer gels that are specially formulated for longer hair, so you can achieve the perfect balance between hold and flexibility.
Hair gel and healthy hair
A concern many have is whether hair gel can damage the hair. The truth is that modern hair gels are far more gentle than the products of yesteryear. Most gels today are water-based and easy to wash out so they don't build up in the hair. At Proshave we choose products that care for your hair while providing hold. Many of our gels contain caring ingredients such as Aloe Vera, which soothes the scalp, and natural oils, which provide extra shine and nourishment.
Additional tips for healthy hair: Do you use a lot of products in your hair? A good idea is to always wash your hair with shampoo two to three times to ensure that all residues come out!
