Hair wax/gel suggestions

Morrocan oil molding cream, trust me

The way it smells and makes your hair look is absolutely amazing

American Outlaw, hair spackle. Matte hold, pretty good, price not too crazy.

I'm a big fan of Bumble and Bumble Sumogel. Good hold and it only takes a little to work. Throw in some standard pomade (any brand works, so go cheap) to get a shiny look. Sometimes I'll hit it with a quick strafing run of hairspray to add more hold.

Side Note--Also a big fan of Hanz de Fuko. Everything they do is great, but I really like their Quicksand hair clay. Even though I'm moving more towards gels, I highly recommend anything HdeF.

Gypsy tears

If you want no wet look, do not use pomade. Use a little bit of "sculpting clay" or "molding clay" or products that say something along those lines. Good hold and your hair looks dry and like you didn't use product.

Baxter of California Clay Pomade, strong hold and not too shiny

TIGI Bed Head, been using it for years.

I'm a net positive on Old Spice Putty. Smells fantastic, and it really easy to work with.

Goon Grease or Baxter of California clay

Baxter's of California cream pomade. Otherwise, it just takes time to figure out what works best for you.

I don't let product touch my hair. Instead I shampoo once every 1-2 week(s) and afterwards massage organic coconut oil / Moroccan argan oil (coconut works better) into my scalp.

all the garbage product and constantly washing your hair is no bueno when you can naturally style it after you improve the quality of your hair. this is from someone who went from curly wavy to wavy straight hair

Reuzel red pomade

I use Wella EIMI Shape Shift since 2 years - love it and don't want anything else anymore. You do have to wash it out of your hair every night.

ECO styler gel. One of my ex-girlfriends (in tandem with her sister) is a hair model/enthusiast sensation on YouTube with 100K+ followers and this was what they recommended to me in the past. Granted, they’re black girls and their natural hair types are way different than mine as a white male, but they loved the gel and I do too, so it must be versatile.

It’s available on Amazon in the U.S. so hopefully it’s everywhere else too. It doesn’t have the most intense hold and it wears out as the day goes on, but it will “set” your hair in place in the morning and gradually fade away later in the afternoon/evening without ever leaving any stickiness or residue or flakes. It’s the most “natural” feeling gel I’ve used, if that makes sense.

Reuzel Fiber Pomade.

Don't use a gel if you don't want a wet look (honestly don't use gel in general). For a finishing product get https://blumaan.com/products/cavalier-clay</a">Cavalier Clay by Blumaan and it looks really good if you prestyle with https://blumaan.com/products/original-styling-meraki</a">Original by Blumaan after a shower. I know that company has recently released a https://blumaan.com/products/fifth-sample-styling-mask-pomade-low-shine…</a">pomade and has a https://blumaan.com/products/hybrid-cream-clay</a">hybrid clay if your hair is a little thinner or lighter, but I haven't tried them.

Suavecito Pomade

American Crew - Fiber

Not wet looking; holds well for extended period

Best hair gel to get the right look is this stuff called nair. It will get your hair to lay just how you want it. Apply generously and work it down to the scalp for the best look.

American Crew Forming Cream

Any Layrite or Pete and Pedro are phenomenal. Pete and Pedro even has a test you can fill out to determine the best product for you!

Murray's Pomade if you want the classic NY banker hairstyle
