Hardening hair gel is a hair-styling product used to hold men’s and women’s hair in a place throughout the day.
If the gel is left in your hair for too long, though, the hair can become flaky and odorous. Moreover, it can cause hair loss as the roots are sealed from external oxygen.
So whether you need to quickly return your hair to its natural state or are finished with a particular look for the day, you can quickly get the gel out of your hair using everyday shower products and hair accessories.

How to Get Hair Gel Out With Shampoo

The shampoo is the most straightforward hair product that you can find in your bathroom without effort. Simple, cheap, and yet effective in removing the hard gel from your hair.

Things you’ll need

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Wet your hair thoroughly. Getting it wet won’t rinse the hard gel out of your hair, but it will soften it. It would be best to get your entire head wet, so all of the gel softens for easier removal.
  2. Step 2: Apply shampoo to your hair. Massage the shampoo gently. The styling gel will not come out all at once, but it will start to soften even more.
  3. Step 3: Rinse out the first round of shampoo, then examine your hair with your hands.
  4. Step 4: Shampoo your hair a second time, massaging the shampoo in a little more aggressively. Make sure you get every inch of your scalp and hair to remove the hard gel.
  5. Step 5: Rinse your hair and examine once more for hard gel residue. When the gel is gone, your hair may feel drier than usual, but it should no longer feel crunchy or slimy.
