Hair gel is a hairstyling product that is used to stiffen hair into a particular hairstyle. ==History== Analysis of ancient Egyptians mummies has shown that they styled their hair using a fat-based 'gel'. The researchers behind the analysis say that the Egyptians used the product to ensure that their style stayed in place in both life and death. Natalie McCreesh, an archaeological scientist from the KNH Centre for Biomedical Egyptology at the University of Manchester, England, and her colleagues studied hair samples taken from 18 mummies. The oldest is around 3,500 years old, but most were excavated from a cemetery in the Dakhleh Oasis in the Western Desert, and date from Greco-Roman times, around 2,300 years ago.〔Jo Marchant, Journal of Archaeological Science Volume 38, Issue 12, (December 2011), Pages 3432-3434〕 The Irish bog body Clonycavan Man, which has been radiocarbon dated to between 392 BC and 201 BC, was found to have been using a hair gel made from pine tree resin imported from Spain or South-west France.〔http://irisharchaeology.ie/2011/08/irish-bog-bodies-recent-discoveries/〕 In 1929, the British company Chemico Works invented Brylcreem, which became the market leader among hair styling products in both the U.K. and the U.S. during the following decades. Modern hair gel was invented in the 1960s in the United States, by what would later be renamed the Dep Corporation. Marketed under the brand name 'Dep', modern hair gel was given this name by its inventor, Luis Montoya, in recognition of the substance that gave it its unique, non-greasy consistency: diethyl phthalate, commonly abbreviated as DEP. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「hair gel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
