How To Make Slime with Hair Gel
What better way to spend your free time? Hair gel is a great way to make slime since it acts as an activator with the other ingredients to bring it to the right gooey texture to play with. We used clear hair gel and cornstarch—that's it. Add food coloring and glitter to make your slime look cool. Your slime will last for a week or more depending on how well you store it.

Recipe highlights
A Large Bowl
A large plastic bowl is needed to mix your ingredients. Glass will also work but is not as kid friendly.
See ProductA Plastic Spoon or Spatula
A large plastic spoon or spatula is needed to mix all the ingredients together. Plastic works best since the slime will not stick to it once you are done.
See ProductA Measuring Cup
Measuring cups are needed so you will get the perfect amount of each ingredient. Slime needs the right amount of each ingredient or it won't form correctly.

Airtight tupperware is key to keeping your slime fresh for multiple days. Make sure to put your slime away when you are done playing with it or you will need to make another batch!
