I know this may sound strange, but recently I've tried using conditioner instead of gel.

After I'm done taking a shower, I dry my hair with a towel, then while my hair is still damp I put some conditioner in my hair and just use it as I would gel. I like the look much more than gel, it emulates how my hair looks as if it's wet. Gel I've tried never does as well.

I was wondering if anyone knows if this may have any bad side effects? I don't think it would, but I'm not really educated on the subject.

Whatever my parents get basically heh. What I use right now is some random Suave conditioner. It says it has a lot of humectants so a moisturizer type I guess.
