How to use hair gel?

After washing and conditioning your hair, towel dry your hair. Just scrub it with the towel a bit, so that it isnt dripping wet. Then take a SMALL amount of gel ( using too much is the problem here. It starts to work from a too-wet state, and is unmanageable. Then it just goes stiff, and stays limp.) I don't know what your style is, but if its whats popular, try drying your hair upside down with a dryer, and then applying hair wax, pomade, or putty to your hair, instead of gel. These will also help with the hair in the back of your head, whether or not you use gel, or hair wax.
