how do i make my hair stay in place?

Question

hi there

i have a similar hair style to al pacino, just shorter

http://www.quepasa.com/newsimages/content/325245/Al%20Pacino.jpg

anyway, he seems to be able to style it so naturally, when i do it, i have to use gel, and lots of it, and hence it looks really unnatural. sometimes when i wear a hat for a few hours then take it off, my hair is molded and kinda stays in shape while looking natural without any gel. when i dont use gel, it doesnt stay in place, and soft breeze could blow it apart.

anyway, can someone show me how i can make my hairstyle look similar to the pic, it might not be the best example i can find, but heaps of guys have that style, i see them on the streets all the time, but none of them ever use gel.

thanks for any help

cheers

thanks for all your replies.

but when i use hair spray, its the same deal with gel, i have to use heaps of it for it to stay in place, and it is usually really rock hard and looks stupid. when i only use a bit of spray, its not enough to keep the hair down, and a slight breeze could wreck it COMPLETELY.

heres another similar pic

(i dont look anything like pacino or de niro), lol, but as you can see from his pic, it looks natural, if the wind blew on his head, sure the hair will move, but if he went indoors, it'll probably slide back into place, if that happaned to me, the entire hair style is GONE.

thanks all

Answer 1

hairspray

Answer 2

You can go to your local store and go to the hair isle, abd there should be hairspray or moose. You can by both if you want it is only a couple of dollars like 3.00 or $4.00. And it should keep your hair in place.

Answer 4

looks like als hair is cut in the late 70's early 80's "feathered look"
best i can come up with is mousse, blowdry to style and hairspray(nothing wrong with a guy using hairspray, i have for years) and if you are going to "style" it, then you shouldnt wear hats to undo what you just did to your "do".

Answer 5
