Hair gel can come in tubes, pots, small bags, or even in a spray form.

Many manufacturers are now releasing different versions of hair wax, such as pomade, putty, glue, glypto, whip, and styling paste.

Mousse is generally applied to the roots of damp hair before blow drying or styling.

Pomade is an oil-based or water-based product designed for slick and tight hairstyles.

Other methods of removal include the use of olive oil, dish washing liquid, and lemon juice.

A plethora of pomades are still in production today and vary in factors such as weight, shine, and scent.

Some hair sprays use natural polymers and solvents like vegetable gums dissolved in alcohol.

One popular ingredient in natural hair sprays is gum arabic, which is made from the sap of various species of the acacia tree.

Various polymers present in the volumizer coat the hair strand, making it look thicker and shiny.
