Dry Look hair Styling Gel for men

marko_polo1234

Hi all,
I was just wondering if someone could recommend to me a mens hair styling gel that gives hair a dry/natural look. I just want to have a change from my usual brylcreem that always leaves a very wet look in my hair. Any recommendations/advice would be very much appreciated.
cheers!

Gel naturally has a wet look finish. You want to pick up something like Shaping Cream that has a high matte finish.

Gel's are something which one should use occasionally as they are very harmful to the hair, so i guess if you want to go for a occasional then always prefer Branded gels so that it do not effect your hair much ! and if you want to know some products then i could recommend you some by tomorrow as one of friend is a professional Hair dresser !

There's nothing worse I think than the Wet Look!! I use Wella Shockwaves Go Matt Clay. I've tried loads of gels over the years and this is the only 1 I'd now use. It styles the hair without looking like there's gel even in your hair!

It can be bought in Tesco for about 3 -4 quid, sometimes it's on offer.

No harm buying a tub and testing it out.

Only use a small-ish amount, rub well into hands together and then apply to hair like you're shampooing your hair, when it's in your hair then you can style it. Well that's the way I do it and it works best for me that way.

I think he is using "gel" as a generic term for any hair-styling products...

It's like Jacuzzi for hot-tubs, etc.

Anyway I personally use the Lynx styling creme. I use the "Messy Look" yellow one. It styles your hair without looking like there's anything in it, and if you get bored of your hair half way through the day it's re-style-able

I like the Fructis 'Beach hair' wax and the more matte look one.
