Suggestions is more like what I am seeking really. I'm tired of using hair products that make my hair crunchy...and/or don't hold the style. I have really thick hair for one...that does what it wants. Um...anyway, what hair gels would you recommend that will actually keep my hair the way I dried it without making it feel stiff and stuff?

That's a tough one. Hopefully someone else will respond with more
current gel experience. (I haven't used gels in 10 years or
more). If you want hold, I think you'll have to have a certain
amount of stiffness (unless they've made better products now).
One way to do it is goop your hair up with gel, then let
it dry and brush it out (you can't use too much gel or you'll get white
flakes), then after you brushed it out and styled it how you want,
hairspray it lightly. It's going to be stiff, but it shouldn't
look wet, and it should hold. Mousse is the only other
lightweight thing I know of that won't get stiff, but its often too
lightweight to really hold. ------------- Making metal barettes/concord clips hair safe, long hair style how to: http://alonghair.wordpress.com |

Can you scrunch the crunch out? Here are reviews of gels.
