 * __HOW DOES HAIR GEL WORK?__**

Answer the question below, append new answers to the top of this page. _ __Response 1:__ Their are certain chemicals that make hair gel work. The first major chemical is a liquid form of elastic. The elastic holds the hair together so that it doesn't break. The second major chemical of hair gel is called polymers. Polymers are chemical fusions that place a film over the hair when they dry up. This film holds the hair in place and makes the hair stay in the position that you want. The rest of the hair gel is made up of either water or ethanol. The water/ethanol is what transfers the elastic and the polymers directly to your hair, almost like a form of transportation. Ethanol isn't used as much any more because it has been found to be harmful for the environment.
