I have short hair which I like to keep spikey too.

If you want a very strong hold, Shockwaves Styling steel is birlliant.

I've short hair and this keeps it spiked / shaped for the whole day and night, washes out really easy too. When my hair gets longer, it still does the job, i probably get a haircut every 6-8weeks.

I was using Dax Blue, but it's so greasy! also I prefer the dry look than the wet look so once i found this, and at the price as well. usually €5.30 in boots, but sometimes on special 2 for €5 (in boots Grafton street anyway).

Nore money but also great is the Grafton barber clay, not sure how much that is though.

Plus one on the VO5 stuff from me, been using this for a few years now having moved to it from Shockwaves wax. Good for the matt effect and holds for hours.

I always use wet look brylcreem.

What I do is wet my hair, then I put a squirt in my hand, rub it between by fingers and rub it into my head. Then I get a comb and slick my hair back from the forehead.

You can't beat the Lecter look!

I used Brylcreem and Dax as a teenager but haven't touched them in years. I find Aveda Control Paste and Redken Rough Paste quite good.

I use This

Best gel by a long mile..

I love using it..

I have this weird thing tho that I love picking the gel out of my hair when the gel drys...

ulinbac · 26-12-2011, 23:26

Use OSMO range. Get it from my hairdresser.

I have thick hair and have it kind of to the side atm. Lasts the day too. There are stronger versions of it and works really well.

Its 10 bucks a tub though and lasts a month.

Spray, any nivea anti-persperant is quality!

This stuff is amazing, costs about 4 quid in tesco. I bought it in september, using it pretty much everyday since then and I would say Ive used about a quarter of it in that time. It works best when your hair is shortish butstill holds well when you start getting a bit shaggy. I've not gotten a haircut in about 2 months now and still does the trick. Wshes out easy and holds all day also able to restyle without adding any more in

**Frisbee** · 29-12-2011, 05:05

I've found this to be the best imo. Doesn't turn rock solid, is easy to wash out the next day and smells pretty good.

shannon_tek · 29-12-2011, 05:13

I use the Vo5 putty in plastic container. Then spray with Vo5 gel spray. Mix it up with fingers to give messy look then a 7second hair dry . Holds for days on end if it gets very dry just sprinkle water on it rub it through or a light spray of the gel.

For super hard spikes I go with Vo5 extra strong gel.

CiaranMT · 03-01-2012, 14:19

Not a spray, but I'm wondering if anybody knows of places that stock Old Spice roll-on deodorants? Bought it in Canada and it lasted over a year, did the job and would like to get some again w/out paying over the odds for p+p from Amazon.

I vaguely remember seeing some roll-on Old Spice some time back, but I can't for the life of me remember where. If it comes back to me I'll let you know.

**awec** · 04-01-2012, 13:29

Shockwaves etc are rubbish, 2000 called and it wants its wet look gel back.

The vo5 putty / gum stuff is decent.

I use this powdered stuff, it looks like talc powder you just pour it all over your hair. Hair doesn't clump together and its probably the strongest hair product I've ever used.

Sometimes whack a bit of hairspray over the top just to be sure, usually when going out only mind.

If you want your hair to stick up the quickest way is to straighten it up.

That stuff,while it has good hold,is like trying to get axle grease out of your hair,its horrendous.
