Men’s hair gel

Gel or wax?

The difference is not strength, it is how each one works. Gel goes on wet hair and dries into the shape you put it in, then stays there. Wax goes on dry or half-dry hair and stays movable all day, so you can rework it whenever you like.

So: a defined shape that holds from morning to night is gel. Natural hair you can run your hands through is wax. If you are not sure, find your hair type first.

Gel is also the only real answer for fine, straight hair. That hair drops fast and will not hold a shape, and wax only weighs it down further. Gel dries onto it and holds it with no weight at all.

The gels we make

Two lines. The difference between them is size and price, not quality:

• Premium Gel 250ml — 80 EGP. Five colours: black, white, blue, green and golden. Start here if you are trying the brand for the first time.
• Styling Gel 400ml — 60 EGP. Four colours. Our cheapest jar and our best seller.
• 650ml — 80 EGP and 850ml — 100 EGP. The same gel in a bigger jar. If you use gel daily, the 850ml works out far cheaper per use.

Every gel we make is hold 5 of 5. What separates the colours is shine: golden is the highest, white the quietest.

Does it flake?

The white dust that lands on your shoulder is not scalp flaking — it is the gel itself drying and cracking. It happens when you use too much, or apply to dry hair instead of wet.

Ours is a water-based formula built not to crack, and that claim is printed on every jar. Application still matters: a fingertip-sized amount on wet hair is enough for medium-length hair.

Does it wash out?

Yes, without shampoo. Water-based means it dissolves in water on its own — put your head under the shower, work it through with your fingers, done.

Made in Egypt

New Star Seven is an Egyptian brand made by Ovanza Cosmetics, manufacturing here since 2012. Most gel on the shelf is imported and costs twice this. We make ours locally, deliver to every governorate, and you pay cash when it arrives.
