Hi guys and gals, figured I'd post here since girls are more experienced with these kinda stuff. blush.gif

I have soft wavy hair and my front fringes are about 4 inches long(slightly over my eyes). Without any hair products on, I can't keep them neat and they look dry. My hair looks the best after I've just washed them and dry them with a towel, brush them to the side while still slightly wet *perfect*. I'm looking for a hair product that deos something like that, I'm thinking something that has moderate hold and slightly wet look. Anyone have any recommendations?

I've tried wax, it makes my hair look dry and I think it is more suitable for ppl with short hair.
I've tried gel that gives a wet-look, but it makes my hair hard and kills my wavy hair look and looks way too shiny.
I've tried some water based stuff, well..its like water, look good for a while but useless after it dries.
The only product I have tried that came close to what I wanted is Vitalis, but I heard that product discontinued and it is oil based doh.gif .

Thanks.

Wow... tall order... you might need to give up on some of the regular drugstore products. Try these:

Redken Men Finishing Cream

Redken Outshine 01 Anti-Frizz polishing cream

I takes it being a guy you don't want to fuss with your hair much like blowdrying and all that so these are decent. I've been using Redken for regular haircare and styling and they have always been producing good results for me especially with me being lazy about the blowdrying and the hair treatments and the works. Almost idiot proof sweat.gif

You can test some when you next walk past a SASA or a SHIN. SHIN would be more ideal because they usually stock the full range and have testers for you. If you live around SS2 they have K-care which also stocks Redken and sometimes at a cheaper price depending on the promo.
Remember to post the results so we know if it works or not!

edgy, have you tried Gatsby Moving Rubber series?

They have different colours to cater for different people with different needs.

I don't use anything myself, cause I'm lazy and not good at it.

From what you've mentioned, I think you could try the Blue one (Cool Wet).

Here's a chart for your reference:

They are not very costly though, the bigger container costs around RM20+. You can easily find them in any Guardian and Watsons.
