Does styling gels damage the health of the hair?

I think so. I don't use gel, or spray, or anything. Even shampoo and conditioner will leave a build up on your hair over time. Once a month I rinse my hair with vinegar to get rid of all the gunk. It makes it shinier and it feels great! (apple cider vinegar for dark hair, white vinegar for light hair)

The alcohol in it can dry out your hair.

Hair gel

Hair gel is a kind of gel that is put in hair to stiffen it into a particular hairstyle. The results it produces are usually similar to but stronger than those of hair spray and weaker than those of hair glue.



Many brands of hair gel in North America and the UK come in numbered variants. Higher numbered gels maintain a greater "hold" on hair, while lower numbers do not make the hair as stiff and in some products give the hair a wet look. Some forms of hair gel include temporary coloring for the hair, usually in unnatural colors associated with various subcultures.



Hair gels often contain cationic polyelectrolyte polymers, i.e. polymers with lots of positively charged groups, often polyvinylpyrrolidone. The charges causes the polymer to stretch out and making the gel more viscous since the stretched out polymer takes up more space than a coiled polymer and thus resists the flow of solvent molecules around it. The positive charges are also binding the gel to the negatively charged amino acids abundant on the surface of keratin molecules hair is made of. More complicated polymer formulas exist, eg. a copolymer of vinylpyrrolidone, methacrylamide, and N-vinylimidazole. [1]



Hair gel usually consists of:



water, providing most of its mass



water-soluble polymer, usually a cationic polyelectrolyte like polyvinylpyrrolidone that binds to the hair, polyvinyl alcohol, hydroxypropyl cellulose



a humectant and plasticizer, usually a sugar alcohol, eg. sorbitol

If you use anything with alcohol in it, it will dry out your hair.



Styling products will not necessarily damage hair, but longterm use will cause build-up and dullen hair.



Use a chelating or a clearing shampoo once a week to remove residue and buid-up.



Also, do not use styling products before using hot elements like a curling or straightening iron. They will burn product into the hair and you don't want that. Use styling products to finish your look.
