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)!

Shens, theres no women on the internet.

Sorry, my wife disagrees. Honestly, I prefer the "natural" look...but mainly because I'm lazy :p

My wife says my hair gets to "fro-ee" if I don't use a gel of some sort. Plus I like looking like a goon from Godfather.

Felt the same as you, very happy with American Crew Fiber. A bit pricier than the basic stuff, but you use so little it lasts a long time. Gives a very dry hold (like your hair just naturally sets that way).

I'm using some 'Bed Head' stuff that my roommate gave me when my hair started getting unruly. This is the first time I've ever had hair longer than an inch or two so I had no idea what to get. It's about a foot long now (tee-hee!) and as long as I don't use too much, it dries without any shine. I like it.
