Effective hair gel without the shine, is there a such thing?

[legocitytruck]

Are there any hair gels for men with effective holding power that don't leave your hair shinny? Basically, I'm looking for the hold without it looking like I have any hair gel on.

Yeah, I think the movie "Something About Mary" advertised a solution like that.....

 

[thescreensavers]

Just get some fresh squeeze man juice

 

[BoomerD]

Nothing like a bit of pomade...

OP, shine or not, if your hair doesn't even wiggle while standing in a hurricane, everyone's gonna know you're wearing gel...

LOL!!!

Welcome to CVS.

Hair Wax
Hair Paste
Hair Puddy
Hair Pomade
Hair Glue
Etc etc etc

Avoid any shiny looking objects.

I buy whatever's on sale but you will probably go through many brands and types before finding one you like.

Axe makes a good one I like.

 

[timosyy]

MJinz beat me to it, but Axe makes a surprisingly good gel/paste/pomade etc.

I like the "Clean Cut" Pomade they have.

 

[TehMac]

yea, Axe is a good deal, but American Crew has a "No Shine" Forming Cream.

I have medium shine right now, but Imma get No Shine next.

It really works too!

Try Hair Wax. They have a matte type. No shine whatsoever.

Allow me Mosh. OP, is this the look you're going after?

if you have short hair you can try crude clay. buy it from a korean beauty supply store.

i heard the axe brand paste works well also.

No, there is no such thing. I am a girl, and I find it super obvious and obnoxious when a guy uses hair gel/paste/wax of any kind. No matter the claim, it has a tendency to make a man look "greasy" throughout the day.

Take it from a girl, skip the hair paste guys. Girls love the locks looking natural and touchable. There is nothing better than hair with some movement on a guy!

Check out Jared Padalecki's hair (w/o the grease)!

All that shit is for girls anyway.

I've been using an Axe product for a while and it seems to work well. I think it's the purple one?

Some mousse isn't as shiny when it dries.

I use - http://www.paulmitchell.com/PRODUCTS/PAULMITCHELL/SOFTSTYLE/Pages/FoamingPommade.aspx

Gives a light but firm hold, if it gets messed up badly, just putting water in your hands and redoing it works. Takes about 5s to get my hair done in the morning with it.
