Which is better for my hair? Pomade, Hair Wax, etc?

Question

I am growing my hair, and it is fairly long now. When it is wet, my hair looks good and if I shake my head, it bounces around. I want it always to be like that. But when it dries, it becomes stiff and if it becomes messy I will have to take my head under the shower to be able to reshape it. I used to use gel when my hair was short, but that only dries my hair even more. Should I use pomade, or hair wax to retain the look it has when it is wet, or is there anything else?

Answer 1

You can use either pomade or wax. Pomade is less oily so you might want to start w/ that.

Redken has an excellent line for men. (effective & smells good)

Pantene makes a good pomade too. It's scent is very clean and gender neutral.

The other option is hair serum. (ex. Redken Glass)

Answer 2

The absolute best is a product called Texture Dirt from FX Special Effects. You can get it at any Walgreens. You'll love it!
