To be fair, I've never really used anything else, so dont know if I'm missing anyawy. What's so bad about it?

it coats your hair/scalp with a layer of silicon to make it look shiny, and "protect" it...according to my hairdresser friend, this is also to stick your dandruff to your head...so rather than getting rid of it, it just stops it coming off.

the original source shampoos are awesome, they're the only ones i've used (and i've used a lot) that don't make my hair greasy.

Depends on:

Hair type?
Do you colour hair?
Do you use heat products on hair?

Hair type, is thick... quite curly
Color is very dark brown, basically black.
Nope, no heat products

Good taste

You're not supposed to eat it man.

I use American Crew Fiber to style my hair, best I've used so far. You only need a tiny bit for an all over style so it lasts ages.

Rich1988 · 17 May 2006 at 13:32

tbh, I used it when I went backpacking or camping (if I knew there was a shower to use) and its realy good, used to come with a little tin
but its not realy that good when VS normal ones otherwise.
but then its made of natural ingredance so thats a big pull for some people

Whatever cheap anti dandruff I can get.

Back when I gelled my hair I used Fructis spray.

I tryed that fructis stuff and it made my dandruff REALY bad, infact I had VERY little before then (just using herbal essances apple stuff before that and no dandruff to speak of).

Oct, how do you have your hair with that?

Just spiked up and messed, nothing fancy. Has the best hold of any gel I've ever used - Firm enough to kep it how you want it, but fluid enough to style.

It isnt cheap as cheap as the SW stuff of course, but I'm sure you knew that.

Hey...

This is possibly the strangest thread I have started, but basically:

As a guy, I have noticed there are so many different hair gells and so on, and I am just wondering what is the best one that does no damage to your hair?

On top of that, what is the best shampoo? I was told by my hair dresser that head and shoulders is bad for your hair, so I stopped using that

Any advice

I use Head & Shoulders for Men.

Styling products by 'Fudge' specifically Matte Head :rolleyes:

smells great ideal for short to short med length hair.

My gf sister in law is a hairdresser and got me some Fudge shampoo and conditioner for christmas. I wouldnt normally bother with the conditioner but it smells yummo (the shampoo smells of bubblegum

)

Brylcreem for the hairgel win.
