Vanicream Hair Gel delivers firm hold in a clear, non-greasy formulae for people whose skin and scalp prefer fewer common irritants. The 7 oz container works on damp or dry hair, root to tip, to help control static, add fullness and keep a look intact. It carries no fragrance, dye, alcohol, gluten, lanolin, sulphates, parabens, formaldehyde releasers, botanical extracts or essential oils.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow this gel feels and smells\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eClear and easy to spread between the palms, the gel is described as non-sticky and non-greasy, so it should not sit heavily on the hair. No fragrance and no masking fragrance are added, which means the formulae has no scent of its own. That is useful if perfumed styling products bother you, or if you would rather your hair smell like your shampoo and conditioner than your gel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get in the container\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach container holds 7 oz of styling gel. Vanicream notes that packaging may vary, so the outer design can differ from batch to batch while the gel inside stays the same. Because you only need a small amount per styling session, one container lasts through plenty of them, and the size suits regular use at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHolding power for slicked-back and structured looks\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirm, long-lasting control is the point of this formulae. It is built to keep hair in place, which suits slicked-back styles, updos and looks that need to survive a long day. Warm a small amount between your palms, begin at the roots and work through the lengths, then blow-dry if the hair is damp or lift it if the hair is dry. For a smoother finish, apply to damp hair and comb it through before drying. The gel is pH-balanced and made not to leave buildup or crunch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eVolume and static control for fine or flyaway hair\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf your hair falls flat or drifts out of place, this is the job the gel was made for. It adds body and fullness while helping calm static and flyaways, so hair looks more structured. The finish stays natural rather than stiff or greasy. Fine hair usually needs just a little, so start light and add more for a stronger set. Thicker hair can take extra through the lengths for more definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIs the formulae water-based or alcohol-based?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is no alcohol in the formulae, and it is pH-balanced. Vanicream lists it as free of alcohol, along with fragrance, dye, gluten, lanolin, sulphates, parabens, formaldehyde releasers, botanical extracts and essential oils. It is also described as dermatologist tested and suitable for daily use, which fits a routine where you style most mornings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e7 oz of gel and how far it goes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery container holds 7 oz of clear styling gel. Since you apply it in small amounts to damp or dry hair, a single container covers many styling sessions. It is made for men and women, and Vanicream suggests pairing it with Vanicream Shampoo and Conditioner, which are sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003eAttributeDetailProduct typeFirm hold styling gelSize7 ozHoldFirm, long-lasting controlFinishNon-greasy, non-sticky, natural feelFormClear gelApplicationDamp or dry hair, roots to tipsFree fromFragrance, dye, alcohol, gluten, lanolin, sulphates, parabens, formaldehyde releasers, botanical extracts, essential oilspHpH-balancedMade forSensitive skin and scalp concerns; men and women\u003ch2\u003eQuestions before you style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich hair types suit this gel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe product data describes it for men and women and for daily use, with firm hold that adds fullness and controls static.
