"  Marc Jacobs&amp;#039; fall 2009 show proved that the &amp;#039;80s are back. However, according to Bumble and bumble creative director Howard McLaren, &amp;#039;80s hair products are not. &amp;quot;The `80s gave gel a bad name,&amp;quot; he says. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;ve been working on our new gels for five years because we wanted to do something other than what we had in the &amp;#039;80s.&amp;quot; So how do Bumble and bumble&amp;#039;s new Gel and Gellac (available March 9 at Bb. network salons, and March 15 online) differ from previous incarnations? The Bb. Gel contains a new polymer with flexible strength, ample coverage, natural shine, and memory, plus it&amp;#039;s alcohol-free, so you won&amp;#039;t have to deal with that icky &amp;#039;80s frizz. The gel also provides a stronger hold than a mousse or spray, but has the same versatility; you can style sleek, sculpted curls or brush through for a soft, touchable finish.  Of course, if you&amp;#039;re thinking of doing spikes, slicked-back strands, or head-hugging Marcel waves, you might dare to try Gellac. &amp;quot;The product is so strong, we were only going to give it to professionals at first,&amp;quot; says Bumble and bumble president Peter Lichtenthal. &amp;quot;But because there are people who like to experiment and who like to be creative and do extreme looks, we decided to release it to the public.&amp;quot; Inspired by Gafquat 732, a raw material with industrial strength, Gellac leaves the same lacquer-hard finish, instantly freezing strands in place. Trust us: Your hair will look\u2014and feel\u2014rock solid with this stuff, so keep in mind that a little goes a long way! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
