Why do stylists put gel on the scalp?

 Before I answer the question, “Why do stylists put gel on the scalp, have you ever wondered if it is okay to put gel on your scalp?”

It's generally not recommended to apply gel directly on your scalp. Gels can be too harsh and dry out your scalp, leading to irritation or buildup. Instead, focus on using gentle, scalp-friendly products like serums or lightweight oils. If you must use gel, try applying it only to your hair strands, starting a few inches away from your scalp.

Now why do stylists do this?

Stylists apply gel  on the scalp for various reasons:

• To create a sleek, smooth look by holding down flyaways and frizzy hair

• As a primer for hair color or chemical treatments to help them penetrate evenly

• To add texture and definition to certain hairstyles

• To help control and hold a style in place, like a sleek updo or braids

Gel can provide hold, texture, and a smooth base for styling, making it a versatile product in a stylist's toolkit.
