To use L'Oreal hair gel, rub a desired amount in your hands, then apply it evenly throughout damp or dry hair, and style as desired.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
-
Step 1: Dispense the Gel: Squeeze a small amount of L'Oreal hair gel into your palm. Start with a dime-sized amount; you can always add more if needed, especially if you have thick or long hair.
-
Step 2: Prepare Your Hands: Rub the gel between your palms to distribute it evenly and warm it slightly. This makes it easier to apply smoothly.
-
Step 3: Apply to Hair:
- For classic styles (using damp hair): Apply to damp hair if you're going for a sleek or structured style. Damp hair allows the gel to distribute more easily and provides a stronger hold as it dries. Use your fingers or a comb to shape your hair into the desired style.
- For textured styles (using dry hair): Apply to dry hair for more defined texture and separation. This works well for creating messy or tousled looks.
-
Step 4: Style: Use your fingers, a comb, or other styling tools to create your desired hairstyle. Experiment to find what works best for your hair type and the specific look you want to achieve.
-
Step 5: Set the Style (Optional): For extra hold, particularly for styles needing maximum staying power, finish with L'Oreal hairspray, such as Studio Mega Hairspray.
Tips for Best Results:
- Start Small: It's better to start with less gel and add more as needed to avoid a stiff or greasy look.
- Even Distribution: Ensure the gel is evenly distributed to prevent certain areas from being overly stiff while others lack hold.
- Consider Hair Type: Thicker hair generally requires more gel than finer hair.
- Wash Out: Remember to wash the gel out of your hair at the end of the day to avoid buildup.
