Hair gel is probably one of the most problematic hair products because it comes with a ton of downsides like flaking, dryness, hardness, and the occasional crunchiness. Because of these cons, tons of women have started making their own hair gel from natural products and ingredients that can be found at most health food stores and online apothecaries.
Not only do you now know all of the ingredients you are putting in your hair, but you are eliminating most, if not all, of the downsides that come with hair gels and their unknown chemicals.
I recently followed the trend of making hair gel at home because I couldn’t find a product that wouldn’t leave my hair crunchy and hard after a wash and go. So I did my research and came up with a great DIY extra hold white tea and ginger* gel for a soft, defined wash and go.
