Si huebiera más contexto... Lo traduciría así, incluso si se trata de reflejos, o rayitos, del cabello; es un gel que resalta los reflejos.

fijador para cabello, resaltador (a) de colores


Explanation:
para que utilizar un anglicismo como "gel" cuando existe "fijador"? La particularidad de este fijador es que hace resaltar colores --en este caso, el rojo, segun he entendido.

Disculpa. Olvide incluir otra posibilidad: \"gomina\" en lugar de fijador si quieres. Por ello aparece la (a) despues de resaltador. Es decir, \"gomina para el cabello, resaltadora de colores\"
