no offense but I personally dun like using Gatsby moving rubber, used it once and stop using it already!
now using MUD!

So many ppl using Gatsby Moving Rubber!
I'm using the gray one. LOL.
Finding other suitable one as this is really expensive!

what hair style for M shape hair line?
Style for late 20's.

Haha .. i myself isnt a fan of the brand .. i think they're overrated .. for the Moving Rubber series .. oni few are good .. for me the Purple and Orange wan is good .. the pink one is sucky ..

Love it rite? Mud rawks!

If I'm not mistaken , the blue one actually is gel.

moving rubber, after applied will it look very oily ? I want something which after applying, it still looks like nothing has been applied at all, no wet, no oily, no jelly thingy

try Wella, high hair punk chic.

look for matte wax.

I JUST CUT MY HAIR BOTAK..NO NEED STYLE, SO NICE THE FEELING..

any pic?

dont need to shampoo everyday

Since like Gastby rubber most of the votes !!

But, I found it quite difficult to wash it ! How u guys remove it ?

I'm using osis+ also, not bad but it wont keep your hair in place for a long time. Easier to wash compared to gatsby though

have to shampoo everytime u wanna remove it...quite suck actually....better go bold...haha.......

should be interesting

gatsby hair clay. i use.

I use Gatsby Hair Clay too. Nice coz it's easy to style after applying. Very.. uh... responsive?

but impossible to wash out. Gotta wash at least 3 times b4 it comes off completely.

dont apply on all of your hair. just on the end part already enough if you keep your hair reasonably long.

I have weird hair. It's SUPER STRAIGHT and very thick so I look like a mop everytime I don't do anything to it.

N it's only manageable after I've dunked quite a wad on it.

thats very good hair man, i suggest you try hair moose instead

LOL! thx. Hair moose huh? I'll check it out tmr.

actually its not recommended to use gatsby..
your hair color will turn brown if u constantly use it..
so im using razo defining cream..
from salon..

Erm...Isn't this Hair Styling tips for guys? SO far I've only read about product reviews.

osis+ is good.

Heard tht gatsby's not good for your hair.

i use schwarzkopf osis+... last time i bought its rm60.... last me until now coz so precious to use.... i mostly use gatsby wet gel, gatsby gel, getsby wax, and gatsby wax spray....

my hair is getting long...loking for somethin to hold it...im kinda interested in the thing you guys call MUD?whta is it?is it oily?easy to wash?

For me, MUD is kinda the hardest to wash.

Even how much u apply to your hair, no matter wat product, the style will not hold for the whole day. It will get weaker when time pass by.

But for MUD, I find the good thing is, once the hold on ur hair is weakened, u can just mess ur hair and try to style it again, then it will hold for another period of time. But styling with MUD is abit harder coz it's dry.

For Hairspray, they give the hard/stiff hold. But u cant touch it often becoz it will lose holding strength.

For Wax/Web, these are easier to wash, easier to style coz not as dry as MUD but their holding strength might not be so strong too.

Thats what I think.

I use moving rubber purple one but can some really tell me how to use or how to style mar...all i do with it is pt some on fingertip then just push my hair up XD doesnt really work for long but is ok for short term use.

you guys should try Sebastian Xtah Crude Clay. works a lot better than any gatsby and arimino (japan famous wax) to me. although quite expensive but a small bottle of it last more than a year to me.

it's for matte look and can last without using spray for whole day on my medium long hair. use a little bit of it can style your whole hair already but quite hard to wash, about the same like using the hardest rubber from gatsby.

i use purple moving rubber too...

apply on hand , loosen ur hair n then pull it upwards . simple rite ?

I'm currently using Erratic's Molding Clay as recommended by my hairstylist last time in Monsoon.

Where can I find products such as Erratic's, Schwarzkopf Osis+ & Xtah Crude Clay?

hi guys...i juz gav some advise here,hair to make it spyky or messy up or mohawk not bcoz used clay or mud or wat u all guy mention t stylin product...t hair cutting is most important part to make ur hair easy to style.

Not sure about Erratic but you can get the other 2 easily from sungei wang or a salon called k care shop which selling online.

hair cut is the essential of getting a nice hairstyle. hair styling product is to style and enhance it only.

to me if you use the right product you can style your hair faster and easier. and if you able to style your hair with the least amount of wax/mud your hair will last longer since it wont be too heavy for your hair to stand unless you using hard spray.

u know d price..??

where to buy sebastian thingy?

Big saloon has them. I am using Sebastian Fiber Clay, cost about RM50 for a small bottle. But they last long.

Now Osis should be pretty cheap, I get to buy 2 Osis Wax Control (with the number 2 on the red square box, don't know the real name as I'm not at home, in office now) for only RM55.

If you wanna use MUD have to buy professional washing shampoo, easier to clean. But I find that professional washing shampoo sometimes make your hair dry so it's something you have to look into.

For me, I've been using Osis since 4-5years ago since introduced by my hairstylist last time, she was so cute lol. Never looked back since, no more Gatsby, Mandom bla bla bla.

I started using Hairspray now since sometimes the hair won't hold after you styled it (Means will drop or run abit la the style haha)

oh cool thx which one is better? for medium short lenght hair?

clay or wax?

i am currently using loreal thing but does not stay long and cant really style my hair coz no so long

Well I am not very sure, never tried clay before. But the wax I am using is good enough to hold out my styling (I don't do awesome mad style though), my hairs are long. You can try I suppose, and change to adjust accordingly lor.

Clay is harder and can hold your hair more, but it's also hard to wash off.
Wax is more soft and natural IMO.

hi i want to ask does the hair gel expires? i mean like first use it's holding effect is great but after months it seems to lose the power...

I've decided to ditch my Clay. Had to actually use SOAP to remove the clay from my hair last night coz my shampoo wasn't able to.

hey..
how to make your haive straight?
my front hair is not so straight la..

rebonding? btw wrong thread to ask such question. =\

l'oreal craft cosmic mud is the best.. 1 small bottle can use 1 year!

the price for sebastian crude clay is around rm40 for small bottle and around rm90 for big one. The small one actually last more than 1.5 year for me.
i think wax is better for shorter hair, clay more suitable for longer hair. anyway it's depends on which clay/wax you using.
clay is harder but i dont think it's harder to wash off. at least the crude clay i'm using easier to wash comparing to purple gatsby.

guys how can I make my hair like Beatles style

coz every time my hair is long it will be curly

thanks !

last time i tried b4. Dunno whether it'll work for u or not tho coz my hair is strange.

1. After washing, blow dry ur hair completely. Blow ur hair in an upwards direction to make it "fluffy"
2. Use some wax (I used L'Oreal Studio Dirty Clean Texturing Paste) and distribute it all over ur palm.
3. Ruffle through ur hair with ur fingers in d direction that u want ur hair to be. (I did d ruffling in a pulling motion rather than a pushing)
4. Adjust d odds n ends

Voila!

Erm so far I haven't experienced such thing... It might have some things to do with the shampoo you use tho, some shampoo makes your hair "Smooth & Silky" (Don't ask me which brand) while others just clean your hair (at the cost of dry/damaged hair maybe?)

For me I always use wax to shape my hair first, then if I know I'm going to sweat alot (ala sports or clubbing or outdoor activities), I would use hairspray on top of the wax to make the hold stronger. But problem is you cannot shape your hair after you've spray it because it would not be as effective anymore.

Which clay so powerful??

Gatsby one! Terrible! Now I'm using UB Volume Web. Quite satisfied with it but it doesn't hold too well.

gatsby user here..wax!

IMO , I hate Gatsby especially the moving rubber because it doesn't hold my hair and it falls to it's original position like after an 1 hour. Right now im using a Redken Clay, no problems with it so far.

wow

what is ur current hairstyle ?

last time ur haistyle oso like Beatles moptop

Like the guy in your picture but a bit spikey behind.
You still remember? Haha

one of my frend used to joke that he use "margarine" to comb his hair
keke~~

hmmm actually i did change shampoo quite often, n my hair bcome oily probably bcos of "Smooth & Silky"? Guess i'm gonna change shampoo again...

Shampoo: Before using Dove, I used "Kepala & Bahu". Dove makes my hair smoother and harder to shape at first when I'm having really short hair, but now about medium length hair d, can shape easier because my hair is quite those that grows quite thick kind of person. Somewhat like this without the color:

Picture taken from:Male Hair Gallery
Wax: When I was small I used Gatsby, terus "pui~" , then switch to Mandom awhile also. But then now using Schwarzkopf OSiS+ Mess Up Matt Gum (2 Medium Control) d and addon any hairspray will do. It will usually last for 1 or 2 months for each gum and hairspray, so it's worth the investment IMO.

Another good hairstyle tips reading can be found here.

Of course now I'm trying to keep a beard like this:

Guys

How to remove wax from hair ?

I have problem of completely removing wax from hair after shampoo.

By the way,I'm using Gatsby Matte Movign Rubber

I used to use gatsby....but it's really oily and stuff....the only advantage is that it's the cheapest....now using arimino....still not what I'm really looking for...will try loreal next...

did you use finishing spray after waxing? if so it's the hair spray that caused it harder to remove. i dun think there's any special way, just use warm water and shampoo to wash it out. just wash again if it's still there or maybe you can consider other wax, gatsby moving rubber are quite hard to remove imo.

since you think that gatsby is oily maybe you should use something matte like clay, mud or maybe gum (not sure)?

I always go to saloon but get stupid style... I go to a professional saloon but the result is the same.. maybe I dont do well in expressing what I want.. how do u guys tell what do u want (hairsytles) ?

Yup

Me too,

I have problem encounter the hairstyle...

for me I just tell the person that I he can cut any hairstyle he wants just one that does not make my face look like its gonna blow up....

the best way is you show a picture of the hairstyle you want, or you can ask them for hair catalog if you going to professional saloon, they should have plenty of them around just ask for it. describe as much as you want for your next hair style. anyway if you are that bad luck you might encounter some stylist that will ignore the hairstyle you pick and do it on their own for you..

don't go to the very beng hairstylist....I went to a saloon and there are a few hairstylist.....at first I went to this hairstylist and tried him out.....he likes to help me change hairstyles and cut different shapes and stuff....sometimes looks nice sometimes not....so I changed to another less beng hairstylist there and he knew exactly what I wanted....so if you don't wanna look like an ah beng.....don't go to ah beng saloons cos they have ah beng taste....

ask them which style that suits our hair type n our face shape.. ask them to list them out, then we choose.. sometimes i feel like troubling them but i think its ok to do so.. better than we regret later n wait for another couple of months to get it grow back

Err...guys, does anyone knows the price of Gatsby Blue MovingRubber? And where can I get it around lowyat plaza?

im getting tired of kelemumur...ughh..hehe..wanna cut my hair..tp syg lorrr..hehe

use head & shoulder shampoo and conditioner

This post has been edited by hubswitch: Dec 25 2008, 10:21 AM

or use any anti dandruff shampoo shld b okay...

btw, i'm using mud, wax, rubber, spray depending on mood XD

Gatsby moving rubber is generally quite okay , the only decent ones for medium to longish hair is the grey one , orange one or the purple one . The green one is an absolute waste of money since it barely holds the hair

The grey one and purple one however are a pain in the arse to wash off . The orange one on the otherhand is not as strong but easier to wash off .

For me the orange one + hairspray works best .

I've recently started trying a new product called "Hex" by Amby . I admit i did buy it cause the packaging was cool though . Its IMO better than moving rubber , a billion times easier to wash off and works just as well / better . Also its much much cheaper , i bought it for something like thirteen ringgit .

For those with problems with their wax or whatever not holding their hair properly , its either :
1) Your hair is too long , get it cut right .
2) You're using too much wax / using it the wrong way . Slightly more than a 10 cent coin + hair spray is more than enough to hold the hair .

@sey

where can I get the product? And yeah, can you post the image of the product? I'm really interested lol.

I think carrefour has it . I sorta of recall seeing it there. Bought mine when i was in Langkawi so not too sure.

@Sey

Oh gosh! You made my day!! Thanks! I'll buy one tomorrow and will update with the results lol. Thanks again.

sure??
coz im using 10cent X4

Well it depends on the person's hair length as well as how he is styling his hair.

it depends on the wax you using actually.. the amount of clay i'm using is less than 1/4 of 10 cent coin to style my more medium long hair. i cant get my hair done with product other than that clay anyway.

I just went to tesco earlier today and I can't find hex. Therefore, I bought gatsby WAX product. The megahold one :

http://www.gatsby.com.my/productcat_hs_wmh.asp

So, what do you think?

Actually different people will prefer dif amount as some might prefer heavy look so they'll use slightly more but you can always add more if you need extra amount to style the it the way you want..

Added on December 26, 2008, 11:37 pmi prefer the black one tho..but do try and let us know the outcome..
and hex is available in major watson store..and i think you can find them in guardian too

This post has been edited by Vint: Dec 26 2008, 11:37 PM

i actually prefer the red over the black..
coz its less sticky...
but now im using razo defining cream already..
so mine is just sitting there now..

how about the pink one? im using it... but found it can't hold my hairs properly... i mean... i work till night time, already no strength to hold. but when i back home... i have to wash it off hardly but if u use right shampoo, u can wash it easily. Eg.... Dove shampoo

Yeah, I'll try to style my hair tomorrow. Want to try punk style (mohawk rite?) first. Then maybe the day after tomorrow will try to make spikes. Well, I have a slightly curly hair so yeah, lest see what the red WAX can do with it lol.

---

Added on December 28, 2008, 9:36 amRed wax is superb. trust me, I used it yesterday to make spikes with big bundles. and guess what? It stayed until 7pm. then I tried to wash it off and yeah, as expected, the megahold WAX is pretty hard to wash.lol. but then, I'm very satisfied with this product, say yes to vertical spikes! lol.
