I really don't like putting on hair gels. I only have those when I'm going to a formal occasion or the event is something really special. Whenever I have those on my hair, I feel sticky. I usually wet my hair and wash it off. I like my hair to be free flowing, just like that old commercial when i can say: "I can feel it".( Too 90s eh?).
I prefer hair gels that makes the hair not too soft and not too hard. If its too soft, it tends to make my hair unruly. If its too hard, then its too irritating. I also prefer gels that smells good, to cover up the stink of my hair when i haven't taken a bath. Kiddin.
