What is hair gel used for?

To style and hold your hair in place.

Hair gel is a hairstyling product that helps to shape, control, and hold hair in place. While there are many different hair gel types, most work by coating your hair strands with a thin layer of polymer, which helps to style your hair and control frizz.

Many people with curly or wavy hair use gel to shape their curls and control frizz, as gel helps to enhance and define curls. However, gel can be used to create many other hairstyles and styles, such as spikes, slick backs, and more.
