    So I usually let my hair grow for 3 months before getting it cut, and even then I just get it cut with a scissors. But anyway when I get it cut I usually use wax or clay everyday for 5 or 6 weeks till it becomes long-ish again, to which I just wet it in the morning, brush it and let it dry out.

    I have a great hair-clay I use at the weekends which I wear when heading out, it doesn't give an overly looking wet-look and lasts ages and keeps the hair in perfect shape.

    However, it's too hard to wash out, even in the shower it takes 2 washes to get out properly. So I wouldn't use this during the week.

    The one I do use during the week is Lynx wax (the purple one), shockingly greasy but it washes out grand with a splash of water.

    Is there any other clay/wax/other products I can use during the week that will wash out easily but not make me look like a greasy monkey and have a wet-look to it?

    Try Layrite. Its pricey enough at €15 but you only need a small amount at a time so the pot will last a good while. It washes out easily and there is a nice shine to it. www.truebarberproducts.com have it or have a look at their list of stockists.

    Vo5 products wash out fairly easily, though, they don't have much hold, so you'll need hairspray, but any cheap hairspray should do. A trick I've noticed is, if you use conditioner in addition to shampoo, any product will wash out. I can even wash out red dax with conditioner and my hair will be soft as if there was nothing in it.

    Would you try oils OP ?

    If so I'd highly recommend Argan oils. It takes the dry frizzy look out of your hair,works as good as hair gel or any wax and it doesn't leave your head feeling like a rock, plus you won't have to wash it out every day.
