Strong hold without `residue`

Hi,

I wear my (very thick) hair short, sometimes brushed back, sometimes parted. For ages I have been looking for a product that would let me brush my hair again during the day if it gets messed up and has a very strong hold WITHOUT (and this is the snag) leaving some kind of residue.

Wax, mousse and hairsprays all make my hair look not quite clean if messed with in any way but they`re the only ones that seem to be strong enough to tame really thick hair.

All suggestions really appreciated.

i`ve used kms texture blast spray (in the hair play range) and it is perfect for this, very strong hold and when you move the hair there`s no residue.
