Try these 3 super easy diy natural hair gel recipes for frizz control, extra hold or just silky locks!

If you think about it, hair gel is among the first beauty products that can save you from chemicals because it’s is so easy and costless to make.

Even if you don’t read the recipes I’m sure you can think of many ways yourself to make hair gel. For example, think of lemon, gelatin or even sugar!

Hair gel has just to be colorless and sticky. Dilute with water and you adjust how strong it is. Seriously, that’s it!

Of course, other people experiments can save you time and give you a more ‘’professional’’ recipe that can last longer and will best fit your hair type.
