Wow, there are a looooot of brands that I'll have to go in search for... But thanks for the advice.

And I stopped head-fi long ago. Besides, I use IEM's and earbuds nowadays. No Circum or supra cans for me.,

Gatsby stuff left flakes the last time I tried.
What type do you use?

My stylist puts some stuff in my hair that's awesome, but it's really super expensive and I only get it when I get my hair cut. I use cheap Garnier stuff, which works as long as my hair is short. It's not short now, which is causing me problems. I have to get it cut again but girls have to pay a lot of money to get their hair cut and colored. -.-

lol I just saw the pun and I didn't realize it was a pun at the time of writing.

My sense of humor has not been back since that awful frontal lobotomy.

That goes to show you just how unsophisticated my initial observation actually was. A goldfish could have made it.

uhh..I use this stuff...

Mild, clean fragrance in cream form. You can kina gauge how "shiny" or not you want your hair depending on when you rub it in. I prefer to get out of the shower, dry my hair a little, then comb it. After im done shaving and brushing my teeth and what not my hair is pretty much dry but still a little damp. Thats when ill put in some of this stuff and proceed styling with my hands/comb. I dunno...

No, the guy in my avatar is not me...

This is my favorite one. Its cheap and doesn't flake. Its not sticky either.

 

[shigzeo]

does anyone like the wonderful just styling gel rather than the making your hair into mould from hell gel? gatsby if you don't bother too much will not flake but styles very well and that is why i like it and uno too.

 

[vagarach]

Instead of gel, you can also look at styling 'clay'. It comes in a pot and very little is needed to get your hair styled.

Hair gel that doesn't flake will be hard to find, and the ones that don't tend to be gummy and leave residue.

The good stuff is from American Crew.

http://www.americancrew.com/

It's pricey, (~$16/2oz.) but it's the best. They have several types, gels, pomades, etc. It's probably sold at most salon supply stores, also Target.

If you want fancy, high quality, this is it.

Because if i don't put anything on it, i look like Jeff Daniels did in Dumb & Dumber.

But here's the thing. I want to look like i don't care much what my hair looks like, but not like i care so little that i look like an idiot.

I want to look presentable, but not polished.

fwiw i usually look for a mousse in the 'limited hold' category, and if it includes conditioning agents, that's a plus. Unfortunately i can never find more than one product at a time, and every year or two whatever I'm using gets discontinued / isn't sold anywhere locally anymore. It's annoying. I think lately I'm using a Dove product.

I'm a heterosexual man, right, I'm not supposed to fuss over my hair.

A topic I can actually make a reply to!
After spending some time in Japan, I am utterly convinced they make the best hair-care products for men. From what you're asking for, you might want to see if you can find some Gatsby Hair wax. Or any other Japanese brand of hair wax. Probably not something you would find in an American drug store but... if you can find somewhere to import it, its worth it. =)

Thats what you should look for... its called gatsby moving rubber hair wax. I bet you could find some on ebay if you look.
