What hairstyling product do you use? (Page 1 of 2)

I use a hair product called Black & White hairdressing promade.  Its made in the USA.  Because i bleach and straighten my hair i find this perfect.  Its not too heavy and easy to wash out.  Also it smells amazing! Simiar to JPG Fleur Du Male.  Any chance of having a hair product as a form of Fragrantica on here??

I use Jojoba oil in my hair & I have found that it makes my hair VERY straight! I usually use grease to soothe my scalp, kinds like Indian Hemp, castrol Oil, Carrot Oil etc.. But Jojoba makes my hair nice & straight as I have long hair & wear it in braids. So I grease my scalp with that after I wash & blow dry my hair & it works better than grease.

I've been using Dep forever.  Reading this thread, I'm beginning to wonder if it isn't time for an upgrade...

I know I'm fairly late to this convo, but I would still like to add my 2 cents. I use a couple of different things in my hair. First off, I also have and get dandruff. Always have and always will, that's just the way I was made I guess (my dad also has bad dandruff).

What I do is, I always wash my hair twice with 2 different types of shampoo. I know, it sounds girly and what not, but my wife has definitely noticed a difference and I don't have any dandruff. My first wash is with an actuall anti-dundruff shampoo (Head & Shoulders, Selsun Blue etc..) and I apply a little more than I normally would and then scrub (with finger tips, not nails) my scalp for about 2 min, then I rinse it out. I then use a vitamin-rich shampoo, usually with some type of volumizing properties (I have thin hair) using LESS than normal. See, the first washing got rid of all the oils, dead skin and other things that normally keep a shampoo from reaching its "lathering potential." You will see that the second time around, your shampoo will lather MUCH more fully and so much less is needed. Once I have applied the second shampoo, I let it sit in my hair until I am done with my shower. Rinsing my hair is the last thing I do because those vitamins need time to be absorbed. **I know this all sounds girly, but it works!!**

Now, as far as the things I use to style my hair differ. I use 3 things from 2 different brands. 1) Murray's Superior Hair Dressing Pomade. People usually just reffer to it as "hair grease." It comes in a little orange tin can and works amazingly well, especially in the cooler weather. Only use a little bit and only if you have short hair. It gives a more natural & less dramatic look to your style. It is petroleum based so it tightens/stiffens in the cold. 2) Schwarzkopf - Got 2B Glued: Spiking GLUE (water resistant). This stuff is strong and lasts until you wash it out with shampoo. It is also fairly dramatic making it hard to avoid the "wet/gelled hair" look. A little bit goes a long way with this one too. 3) Schwarzcopf - Got 2B Glued: Blasting Freeze Spray. I use this both - with the glue and by itself. This stuff is also strong but can help give you less of a "wet-hair" or "gelled hair" look. You also don't want to over-apply this because you will get build-up, which only worsens your dandruff problem.

Anyways, these are what I use and do. Hope this helps someone. Any questions, just hit me up. Thanks again.

For bad hair time when I have dandruff.

This is my hairstyle product at home.

When I go out, these are my 2 favorites for hair styling.

I use Shu Uemura Art of Hair Shape Paste sculpting putty with soy proteins. It's light, and you'd  have no idea it was there.

I just bought "Mega Whip" (whipped marshmallow hair texturizer) made by Bed Head (Tigi). Love it! I got my hair cut a week ago and she used some in my hair to style it. Loved the smell and the hold. Does a good job and still looks natural. It's not cheap at around 20 dollars a jar. If you want something that is gentle on your hair, still works well and won't kill the budget, I also like Aveeno's positively nourishing soft-hold gel-creme which you can get at most drug stores.

Hi Zoka . As soon as I read this it reminds me of some that my brother wears. I know the first one is called " MANOVER, that's by REDKIN FOR MEN " I believe that's a wax. The smell I really like, but I have to find out what it is. The other is by American Crue called '" Fiber ". There's one more that sounds like what you're looking for too After I check with him, I can let you know.

Looks like you're getting a lot of ideas here. 

I use coconut oil (Blue Softee; two dollars a HUGE jar) when my hair is looking dry for extra shine and moisture. But the best hair dress is a bandana imho haha
