Learn how to choose the ideal hair gel for your hair.

When it comes to defining and styling curly hair, styling gel is a must. But not all gels work the same. How do you know which one to choose? The key is knowing your hair type, its porosity, thickness, and the finish you want to achieve. From the finest and lightest curls to the thickest and most unruly, there's a perfect formula for every texture.

We'll tell you how to choose the best gel (or mousse) for you, ensuring you're always suitable for the curly method.

Why is it important to choose the right setting gel?

A styling gel not only defines, it also seals in moisture, combats frizz, and adds structure to your curls. However, choosing one that isn't suited to your hair type can result in a stiff, clumpy finish... or simply one that doesn't last.

The key factors for choosing the ideal product are:

• Porosity: determines how much your hair retains moisture.
• Thickness: This influences how much product you need and how it absorbs.
• The finish you want: from very defined curls to looser, more natural looks.
