To style hair using gel, you can follow a specific method that involves using a minimal amount of product and finger-styling, with an option to use a damp comb for a neater finish.
Applying and Finger-Styling Gel
This technique focuses on using a small quantity of gel to shape and control hair, particularly along a part.
- Get the Gel: Put a very small amount of gel in your hands. Using a small amount prevents the hair from becoming stiff or heavy.
- Distribute: Rub the gel between your hands to ensure it's spread thinly before applying it to your hair.
- Style with Fingers: Finger-style your hair, pulling it down the side of your head along the part, in opposite directions. This action helps to define the part and smooth the hair away from the central line on both sides of the head.
Adding Neatness with a Comb
For a more polished look after the initial finger-styling, you can use a comb.
- Prepare the Comb: Take a comb and dampen it slightly under the water. Just a little water is needed to help the comb glide.
- Comb for Smoothness: Comb along the hair in the direction you started, if you want it to look slightly neater. Combing after finger-styling helps to align the strands more uniformly and create a smoother surface.
This specific method uses a small amount of gel applied with fingers to direct hair along a part, offering a controlled style with an option for extra neatness using a damp comb.
