Key Benefits

Existing hair gels are styling products that leave a stiff or sticky texture of the hair, which are difficult to be styled further and can only be removed by washing. Moreover, such hair gels do not add extra volume, or create texture to the hair, without compromising softness. The current invention overcomes the limitations of existing hair gels by combining hair gel properties with properties of other hair styling products such as moisturizers and volumizing agents, without leaving hair stiff or sticky. By using the gel of the current invention, the hair may remain soft, yet with added texture and volume, and may have a light hold, ideal for controlling flyaway hairs. Moreover, the invention allows the production of a product from common, natural and environmentally friendly materials.

Applications
