Consumer test reveals significant differences in hair gel performance

A consumer test found significant differences in hair gel performance, with some products failing to deliver on their hold promises. The test evaluated 12 hair gels for hold, ease of use, and residue, revealing that some lasted only four hours while others exceeded seven. Additionally, eight gels contained potentially allergenic fragrance ingredients. Nivea Styling Gel Ultra Strong emerged as the winner, receiving the highest rating for reliable hold, ease of application, and absence of allergens.
