Are you Gellin'?

So for whatever reason - Hair Gel is making a huge comeback. Now keep in mind, I am not talking about those huge neon vats of hair gel that you see at the 99Cent store, or even spiky boy band hair styles.

In general, I am just saying that after years of abuse and bad products (see the two examples above), gel is back on the market in a big way. It seems like the folks over at the cosmetic companies decided to look into this old stand-by and see what could be made of it in today's marketplace. Everything old is new again after all! As a result, the shelves are flooding with gel-related products but these are not the sticky culprits of yesteryear. Think of these as Gel 2.0.

My favorite of the new gel products?

Redken Layer Lift 07 Length Elevating Spray Gel - $12.99 and up (Online or at your local beauty supply store)

This is seriously my new miracle worker. Currently I am growing out a very blunt and styled bob. When I don't style it properly in this state- it looks a mess. All uneven and stringy and just BAD. Plus, I naturally have very fine strands of hair. So even though there is plenty of it, often times it can look FLAT and sad.

Then along came this baby! It gives my hair body and control and style without adding a ton of weight. The spray is fine and well dispersed and the result? I get body and oomph and it doesn't look like there is much of any kind of product in my hair. It just looks natural and lush.

Love this product and totally recommend it - even if you have long, thick hair not my thinner short hair. This will give you lift and control and eliminate the need for too many other products.

If this Redken item is the shape of things to come in the land of Gel 2.0- I AM IN.

Have a great weekend and keep looking fabulous,
