Test Report

15 Hair gel 09/2018

"Mega strong hold" for "extreme looks" - hair gels usually advertise superpowers. Stiftung Warentest tested 15 expensive and inexpensive gels - on people and in the laboratory. In the test: Well-known brands such as Schwarzkopf, Wella and Marlies Möller as well as cheap products from the drugstore or supermarket (prices: 0.57 to 24.50 euros per 100 millilitres). The five good gels also include one of the cheapest products. However, not every hair gel is convincing in terms of staying power and ingredients.
