super hardcore gel/hairspray???

baby and crumble

Hey all,

I'm dressing up as a punk for hallowe'en, and am looking for some major strength hair gel or hairspray to get my hair into a mohawk or liberty spikes... I know there are loads of gels and stuff that are advertised as 'rock hard!' or whatever, but i was hoping for a recommmendation from people who might've already used some? All the stuff on punk boards, etc., are US brands...

Thanks guys,

Zo

Use egg whites! It's the only thing that worked for my liberty spikes back in the day.

Egg whites work in the same way that gels do (since egg is a protein), and is fairly easy to get out with lots of hot water.
You get a bunch in a bowl and use it like you would use gel. Coat the hair and then use a dryer to get it in the right shape and defy gravity.:D

The egg whites will dry and hold from there. You want to be careful though. If you leave it too long in your hair, it can start to smell bad, since it's not really meant to be out that long without refrigeration.

Or you could try red 'dax wax'.

Always used Silvikrin for my mohawk. It's cheap ****e you can get from Boots or Tesco. Both used to do a 2 for 1 deal on it. Get the maximum hold can. That and a hair drier is all ya need really. It easily held my mohawk which was over around a foot long at one stage.

If your hair is less than 6 inches, soap should do the job, but it takes a bit of practise to get right... don't use perfumed stuff either.

cheers for all the suggestions guys! Might hold off on the egg whites... bad smelling hair not exactly up my alley!

You get it the odd time in TKMaxx, but salons have it full price too.
