The hair gel composition contains a combination of at least one hair-fixing polymer and at least one polymeric gel former. The polymeric gel formers are homopolymers or copolymers built up from at least one type of monomer, which is an acrylamidoalkylsulfonic acid, a methacrylicamidoalkylsulfonic acid or a salt thereof, and from acrylate polymers with thickening action, which are built up from acrylic acid or methacrylic acid and at least one acrylic or methacrylic acid ester. The hair gel composition is suitable for a non-aerosol spray product for increasing hair luster and/or hold or fixing of the hair.
