Does anyone use hair gel?

I am thinking about buying some and applying it to my hair to see the results.

I was after some help as I have no idea what to get. My hair is pretty thick - like black mans hair/sheeps wool and it can look frizzy. But I think with the right product it could look cool.


I don't need a holding get as I like I say it's quite thick. I'm getting bored of shaving it off all the time and might have a go at growing it a bit.

maybe some surf hair type stuff, or moulding mud?

i don't have pube hair so i dunno what you would use ;P

I'm basically a white version of Darnel from Big Brother :-)

Surf hair? what's that?

You'll probs need something pretty firm to get it under control: I have used Black & White Pomade in the past, but it is a 'mare to wash out, as it is pretty thick stuff!

Brylcream also do some more gunky stuff, which might be better

Currently I use Label M Matt Paste, which mostly keeps things in check! Unless it is really windy, and then a spot of hairspray can help too! :)

Cheers Ben, I knew the gays would know about this stuff ;-)

Only thing is my hair looks better with a 'wet look' as well but the normal wet look stuff makes my hair rock hard! I'll look into your recommended products though.

You might want to try some Fudge Shaper or Varnish if you want a wet look, but without masses of hold.

Avoid putty and clay type things, as they tend to be more matt in finish

You will probs also need a decent, but not too harsh everyday shampoo too to wash it out. And start with shampoo on dry hair as that is most effective at product removal :)

Are you flirting with me?

Garnier Surf Hair is what I use, good stuff. Just make sure you really work it in.

I no longer have enough hair to use that stuff.

Although I did once have enough to have had a Kevin Keegan poodle perm in my mis-spent youth !
