The primary purpose of the hair gel is to hold the hair in place. But not all of you are fans of hair gels. The good news is there are a few different products you can try as an alternative to hair gels. Unlike many have thought, hair gels and hair waxes are not the same. Hair wax does not dry out as much as gels. The texture that hair wax gives you is also different. Pomade is another product you can try. Pomades are mostly made of natural organic ingredients. So, if you are into nature-based products, go with promenades. Hair serum is the new kid in town. Silicon-based hair serums offer protection against sun damage and dust. And when shopping, we recommend brands like Gatsby, Nova, Livon, Forever, and Syoss.
