# Protective Hair Gel Glosses Bread's Hair-Gel Locks in Natural Coily, Wavy and Curly Patterns By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2023-03-29 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hair-gel References: [allure](https://www.allure.com/story/new-hair-products-march-2023) & [breadbeautysupply](https://breadbeautysupply.com/products/hair-gel) [Bread Beauty](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bread-laces) Supply's new Hair-Gel is a water-based botanical styling product to hydrate and protect textured hair, all the while helping it look its best. This formula for consumers with [coils, curls and waves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/texture-inclusive-haircare) is defined as a protective gel gloss for "wet set curls" and it's also useful for creating slick styles and clean edges. Certain types of hair products have gained a bad reputation for leaving hair feeling crunchy but this product stands out from [gel products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/got2b-curled-collection) of the past. As the brand says, "we've found the perfect 'hold' ingredient that won't diminish your hair and scalp health over time. A polymer that's algae-based (and therefore naturally derived), microbiome-friendly and with exceptional hold abilities." This thoughtfully chosen ingredient is united with red algae extract and hydrolyzed silk and amino acids for strengthening. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 64% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 15% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hair](https://www.trendhunter.com/hair) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Botanical Hair Products:** Creating hair products using natural ingredients and botanical extracts may disrupt the traditional hair product industry by offering healthier alternatives for consumers. - **Microbiome-friendly Hair Products:** Hair products tailored to promote healthy scalp microbiomes may disrupt the hair product industry and help address common scalp issues such as dandruff and itching. - **Protective Hair Styling Products:** Protective hair styling products like the Bread Beauty Supply's Hair-Gel Gloss may disrupt the hair styling industry by helping consumers protect and style their hair without causing damage. ### Who This Affects Most - **Hair Care Industry:** The hair care industry may innovate by creating hair products that promote hair health and natural ingredients for consumers with textured hair like those in Bread Beauty's Hair-Gel Gloss. - **Natural Beauty Industry:** Botanical hair care products like the Bread Beauty Supply's Hair-Gel Gloss may also disrupt the natural beauty industry by offering healthier and more sustainable alternatives for consumers. - **Styling Industry:** The hair styling industry may innovate by creating hair styling products like Bread Beauty Supply's Hair-Gel Gloss that help consumers style their hair while promoting hair health and protecting from damage. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Honey-Inspired Hair Gels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/butter-gel.md) - [Curl-Defining Hair Gels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hey-curl-scrunching-jelly.md) - [Multitasking Hair Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holdme-styling-cream.md) - [Brow Styling Gels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mac-cosmetics-pro-locked-brow-gel.md) - [Shine-Enhancing Hair Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleek-stylers-set.md) - [Curl-Focused Styling Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innersense.md) - [Lightweight Hair Styling Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honey-milk-5in1-styling-cream.md) - [Textured Hair-Targeted Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acidic-bonding-curls.md) - [Heat-Activated Hair Stylers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-blowout-glass.md)
