Okay, so looks like my shorter hair needs to be put up a bit.
My friend has Dippity Doo Pink gel, which can't be bought anymore, which I have used for several days.

So here is what I learned:
- it does not flake
- it actually stays for LONG periods of time
- it doesn't smell like anything

Can anyone who uses hair gel recommend me the same type of hair gel?
That would be awesome. Something that can be bought in stores, ebay, etc.

Coolio. Thanks.

Doesn't smell like anything is gonna be tough, but the Garnier products smell nice. Is that good enough?

For short hair the KMS is really really good. Expensive, but lasts a long time.

Gatsby Gels are best..get a strong hold gel

I use Pantene. The smell isn't that strong and dissipates fairly quickly. Some of the worst (and strongest) smelling ones I've tried were those designed specifically for men.

Absolutely none if you are planning on going to a Head-Fi meet.

You've jogged my memory with this thread. My uncle uses a hair gel that does not make your stiff like the majority of cheaper gels. I have been wondering what that was because I hate using gel because it always makes my hair stiff which makes full size cans very uncomfotable to wear.

When I have short hair I prefer no gel, but when it's shaggier I've had some success with American Crew's products. They actually smell like a guy should use them.

i recommend none.

 

[smeggy]

Eeech! none if you plan on selling your phones on. I already have a couple of sets that smell and feel like they went through a 'gel' phase in their lives.

Bed Head is really good stuff. They have a wide range of products to suit most any app.

I don't quite understand why people put gel or hairspray in their hair, and NOT want it to be stiff. Seriously, that's the PURPOSE of it, to keep your hair in place like it was when you first styled it.

A gel will be somewhat stiff when it dries, but will hold the hair in place. After srying, you can still run your fingers through your hair to break it down some and still retain some control. On a scal of 1-10, something around a 7 works well. Most of these products will have a numerical or other scale.

Waxes/pastes are a whole different experience. I do not like them because they feel waxy/pasty throughout the day. The advantage of these products is that you can periodically rearrange your hair during the day. Think of a Gumby doll whose arms can be readjusted to any position and stay that way until you change the limbs again.

Try both types of products and decide for yourself.

ICE Spikers is a favorite of mine... it can be obtained at Supercuts
