Founded in 1998, Guangzhou Dicai produces and operates more than 100 kinds of products in five categories, including washing, care, fixing, dyeing and washing hair products in the field of shampooing. Dicai is the first company in the domestic daily chemical industry to launch gel water, which has promoted the upgrading of products in the industry from mousse to gel water, and once occupied the first place in the market share of domestic hairdressing products.
 
As gel water was gradually replaced by other stereotyped products, Dicai failed to get ahead of the competition and gradually shrunk stereotyped products and turned to the field of cleaning and care. Nowadays, gel water is no longer the focus of Dicai's business, but it is still a cost-effective choice. The fragrance of the gel is strong, so you can avoid it if your nose is sensitive to it.
 
There are three types of gel water, which use water and glycerin as dissolving agents, and the drying time is relatively long, the advantage is that compared with the gel water using alcohol, glycerin can also lock in some water when helping to form a uniform film, which can have a better moisturizing effect. The main styling agent is also the common VP/VA polymer, and the addition of methacryleneethyl betaine/acrylate enhances the heat resistance and film-forming firmness of the gel water, and it is relatively safe to use in summer.
 
In contrast, the performance of Di Cai Gel Cream is less than satisfactory, the gel has a higher viscosity and tends to stick the hair together, the support effect is relatively poor, and the naturalness is also insufficient. The PVP film-forming agent used is a non-ionic polymer with poor moisture resistance, so it is not recommended to buy.
 
Dicai's styling gels are all 250ml, and the price is about 25 yuan, which is the same as most brands of gels. In addition to the flagship stores of e-commerce platforms, Dicai has more than 300 offline hairdressing experience centers in various medium-sized and large cities across the country, including hypermarkets such as Walmart and RT-Mart, which are also more convenient to buy.
