Hair Gels & Pastes

The terms ‘hair gel’ and ‘hair paste’ don’t quite capture the impressive nature of these products. Yet, we suppose the names are fitting. They accurately describe the texture of haircare rapidly gaining popularity in the industry, especially in barbershops. It has become clear that gel and paste are the best options for styling hair. So, we’ll explain further. 

If you’re uncertain what hair gel and hair paste are, let’s fill you in. Hair gel is a water-based product that stiffens hair, which means it does not move after styling. Most gels can be rinsed out with relative ease, especially when using lukewarm water. 

Alternatively, hair paste is a waxy formula. It’s supple and has a glossy appearance when applied. Wax is easily restyled if needed but can be difficult to rinse out. Several washes may be required, or you can purchase specialised haircare to aid the process.

How To Choose Hair Gel & Pastes

If you’re confused about choosing hair gel or paste, we don’t blame you. There are so many products available that we can’t begin to estimate the exact number. Here at AMR, we’ve helped to narrow down the selection pool. Below are the finest haircare products we could find, and they’re affordable too!

If you’re searching for an extra strong hold, we recommend full-strength paste. This type of product will last for a full day and will not budge. It’s the complete opposite of gel sprays, which distributes a fine mist for a soft hold. 

For unique products, there are a few options. Check out a specialised thickening gel that holds hair in place while plumping for a fuller look. You can even repair hair while styling with keratin-based formulas. 

It certainly doesn’t seem like there’s a limit on gel or paste.
