I've let my hair grow. When dry my fringe is curling, when it's wet it's straight.

I do this diagonal fringe thing, which I need a straight fringe for.

Gel makes my hair hard. Evil

What hair product (types of gel, wax whatever) can I use to hold my hair in position (that actually works, not just claims to)? My fringe is too short for straighteners.

get anywhere near this and you good to go.

I happily pay 20 with student discount as I fancy my hairdresser and don’t have any balls to do anything about it.

you get a couple of bottles of beer whilst the cut is being done which adds to the relaxing vibe

As youre all probably wanting to know I pay £16 for mine

Most I paid was £39 and it was shit at toni and guy.

Best wax/gel I have ever used is this

£5 a pop, so much better than anything else I've used (shit loads of different ones)

How come elton john's hair looks so much better than rooney's wispy mess?

Surely he could have got something better done with money being no object.

any product out there to give dry rough look to short hair? no shine but decent hold?

everything i've tried seems to flop straight away with an awful greasy look
