Use only a pea-sized drop to shape a spike or knead it into a short wig to create instant volume.
Hair gel needs to bond with the natural scalp oils in your hair (yuck). It can’t do that on a wig so it will only weigh down the fiber and create a greasy look. To shape or slick back synthetic wigs, use a combination of heat and hairspray instead. Or use an extreme spiking gel like got2b Glued Spiking Glue: it looks and feels similar to regular hair gel, but its polymer structure really defies gravity. It can bond even to synthetic hair.
