Other tips for doing hair:
Wear a top that you are okay with getting gel on.
Bring a kettle to make hot water.
Use about 3 packets of gel and cover with water and mix. There will be other parents to help. Stir until it fully dissolves. Let it cool for a minute or two until it thickens slightly (like syrup).
