    Ok, so to all the people who are creative and artist and like to make their hair go WOW to other people, what kind of gel, hairspray, paste, glue, or anything else that is used for hair do you use? Need something that gives it a non-shiny, messy but long lasting product that allows you to place ur hair 13 inch in the air without dropping 10sec after u place the gel on. Help anyone?

    In Europe we have something called Titanium Hair Gel from Schwarzkopf. Not sure if they have it in your country.

    Non-shiny that means it isn't gell.

    get Gatsby Wax...there's a really strong one, can't remember, but they're all pretty good. You'll need to go to HK or Japan.

    I don't use gel, wax is much better for styling and holding... But give less shine...

    Agreed. I hate that gel stuff. I don't understand how some people can stand having 3 ounces of gel in their hair. It looks really dirty and unnatural. Girls like running their fingers through a guy's hair. Damn, every time I see guys with that hairstyle, it just look really uncomfortable and disgusting. Like if you sweat, or if it rains, you'll have wet hair product running down your face.

    Those only work with the hair of your - short


    However hair require better type of gel (not even gel I should say) which could only usualy bought from hair product store... (especially from chinese mall)...

    Those people are professional, and as long as you ask, they will tell you every type of product best suit for certain hairstyle (such as Texture you want, Shine or Less Shine, Strong Hold, etc) and again... Wax, mud, clay holds the best in comparsion to gel, however, it takes time to get use to as it feels wierd at first...

    Like someone earlier say, Gatsby, (believe is gel), might work really well too as I never try it myself. But I have seen video and seem somewhat promising... But I'm sticking with my wax... ;)

    Depends on how long your has is and don't use gel -nono , its not good for your hair because it dries your hair and your scalp. Gel also has the very wet shiny water look, so go with wax if you want it more natural. But if you are going for the wet look get a gum based wax.

    Short hair then i would recomend: Gatsby Ultra Tough Clay Wax - It has the matte look and holds your hair the minute you stop touching it, awesome stuff! but i know some people find it a pain in the backside running it through their fingers to warm it up because it is like a clay and very fibre alike wax, also it is quite hard to wash out, its not like gel or other waxes.

    Short/medium, Medium: Gatsby Mat Type Styling Wax - Holds really well, no shine. Not like the ultra tough it is easier to wash out and is alot creamier and softer. So if your lazy and don't want to run it through your fingers to warm it up then this is the one lol.

    But yeah Gatsby is the shiz when it comes to hair styling its affordable and awesome quality

    4 feet in the air? err get a haircut
    but if u insist, then get ur hair layered so it doesnt get too thick when u gel it otherwise it'll fall down
