Before, After, and a Hair Gel Question . . .

[XxZanexX]

Okay, so I got my hair cut today. And I once again grew sick of my natural hair color, which is a golden brown, and dyed my hair black. I love the cut and color, myself.

(Since I'm a new member I can't post a link so just copy/paste those into your browser.

Thoughts?

Regardless, my main issue is this: I used to use a gel that I can't seem to find anywhere anymore. Probably because I don't even know what it's called! Haha, but anyways, I need recommendations for a new hair gel. As you can see I don't have a lot of hair to hold in place so it needn't be super-strong glue/cement-like, I just need something that will give me a spikier sort of look an texture. (Just spikier and messy, not actual spikes.)

Any recommendations?

I use Tresemmé hair gel. I only use it on my sideburns, though, but it's pretty good.

First of all...

Put on a fucking shirt please.

But If you just want a normal hair gel: Bed Head is a good brand. And Garnier Fructis, but I don't like the smell of their gels even though they have a very nice line of them.

My favorite gels are ones with the wet effect/look and Garnier has that too.

Then it made me laugh too. lol All my clothes were in the wash.

Merci for the gel tips.

[raineofblood]

Could you not have spared our eyes and waited? :P

(And your welcome)

[XxZanexX]

Haha, no, I did it just to try and scar you. :P (Actually if my hair gets dry it gets really REALLY fluffy and poofy so I wanted to get a pic before that happened. lol Thus my wanting to find a good gel.)

[Godslayer Jillian]

I will post a picture without putting a fucking shirt on!
But that's because I'm working on my abs, so it's not gonna be torture to you; it'll be heaven.





























It fucken' will be!!

























Rly, it will be nice... =[

*can't wait*

Haha, my abs are like blubber. I should probably cut back on eating all those baby seals . . .

[raineofblood]

Amazing. Only on Gnet can a thread about hair redirect to abs and baby seals. Le sigh.

But, back on the subject of hair, Zane, if you're hair gets poofy use this creme thingy from Frizzease: Windown. It does wonders for poofy hair. I should know. *shifty eyes*

Or licking the underside of a turtle.

[raineofblood]

Precisely.

I use L.A. Looks. It's cheap and it does what I need it to. You can find it at Wal-Mart.

And raine, maybe Zane'll put a shirt on when you learn the difference between "your" and "you're".

[Lucretia_my_Reflection]

I think if you roughed it up with a wax or texturing paste it would look awesome. got2b is relatively cheap and works well if you can splurge i suggest useing a brand called matrix.

Hey, dude, relax. It was a typo. And I knew the difference since I was in preschool so will he be putting a shirt on in the past?

That makes no sense. :P

I'll relax if you do. I was being playfully snarky. No worries.

Damn. I knew the short haircut was a bad idea.

Don't worry about it. Pictures are deceiving. If it's any consolation, I could tell you're a girl.

[XxZanexX]

Yeah. Plus that was a really retarded picture of me, in hindsight.

oh, good. Meh, my bad. I was a bit overstressed when I wrote that.

And Zane, I could tell you're a girl too. Main reason that I insisted you put on a shirt. Have shame, boy. I mean young lady. ;D

But androgyny is ubergoth. Embrace your ambiguity!

(But I could tell you were a girl anyway.)

[XxZanexX]

Haha, thanks for being able to tell I'm female, folks. I went to Wallgreens to browse their gels and was actually able to spot what I used to use: http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/79/hairgelew5.jpg

I couldn't find it because they change the packaging so often. I love this stuff, though, I recommend it to anyone. It works great and it smells even better.


With the gel in. You can't really see the hair very well, but I guess I wanted to prove that I can take a non-hideous picture of myself. (Plus I can finally post links now so I'm a bit link happy!)

I think the gel that you bought really did fit in with your new 'cut. Your hair looks very, very nice.
