How To: Style your hair with gel

Styling gel is the Swiss army knife of hair styling—an all-purpose tool that can help you achieve any goal or look. You may even want to take some on your next camping trip.

You will need:
the gel hairstyling product of your choice
a blow-dryer

Tip: Avoid using gels that contain alcohol - they will damage and dry out your hair. Use a dime-sized amount for short hair, a quarter-sized dollop for medium-length hair, and two or more quarter-sized dollops for longer, thicker hair.
