Summer is here, and if you’re anywhere close to the equator, it’s freakin’ HOT! With all the heat and impending humidity, our hair just doesn’t play by our rules. Which means it’s time to take control with the right products to keep your hair in place. While hair gels might remind you of the most cringe-worthy looks of the early aughts, they’re actually great when you wanna slay the hair game.

As beauty trends always circle back, the age-old cycle has ushered in the return of Y2K fashion, poker-straight hair, pencil-thin brows, and more, but is the hair gel officially having a comeback? The answer is yes! As we create the likes of Bella Hadid’s signature snatched updo or the glossy, drenched styles flooding our FYPs at the moment, it’s clear that finding the best hair for your hair type should be at the forefront of your next beauty buy. So if you are interested in dipping your toes back into the gel pool, buy these hair gels for when you wanna pull off a slicked-back look.
