It's in a list of things available at a hotel bath:
ヘアームース、シェービングフォーム、アフターシェーブローション、ヘアリキッド、ヘアトニック

hair styling liquid

It's essentially a hair styling liquid, for a softer, dryer set than hair oil. "Hair styling liquid" is probably how I would render it.

ヘアトニックとヘアリキッドの違いって何ですか？
馬鹿馬鹿しい質問ですみません・・・・・。

ヘアトニックはアルコールベースでスカッと爽快、
頭皮のためのもの。
ヘアリキッドは油で、整髪用に使う。

or alternatively, you could perhaps say something like "alcohol-based and oil-based mens' styling products," (combining hair liquid and hair tonic.)

G'luck!

Hair lotion

Hi, now we seldom see "ヘアリキッド" or hair liquid, thogh we still can find some. When I was small, it was popular among men.
Hair liquid is a little oily liquid to set your hair style. But I think,
there is something called "hair oil" and it is more oily.

The staff in my hair salon seems to call the hair-liquid-like thing as 'hair lotion'.
