Gavin Newsom is widely known for his slicked-back hairstyle with hair gel, but there is a rare and notable instance from 2006 when he appeared in public without any hair gel. The occasion was during Gap’s “Individuals” photo exhibition and the launch of the Product (RED) campaign. At that time, Newsom was the mayor of San Francisco. His natural, unstyled hair was parted casually to the sides, which contrasted sharply with his usual gelled look. This rare appearance of Gavin Newsom without hair gel sparked interest and comparisons, including one that likened his look to Robert Carradine, the dad from "Lizzie McGuire." Since then, Newsom has mostly maintained his gelled hair style.
