Why may ADAB be the right solution?
The clue is a play on words. "Gel" is a reference to hair gel. If you take the word "as" (which can mean "like" or "similar to") and add it to the beginning of the word "adab" (which means "manners" or "etiquette" in Arabic), you get "as adab" which sounds like "a sadab" or "not much" when pronounced quickly. Therefore, "Not much, as of gel" is a cryptic way of cluing the answer "ADAB".
