My Brylcreem Experiment
Posted by Gollan on February 11, 2003 at 02:05:40: Previous Next
Today I was on my 2nd day of giving my hair a break from gel. The gel I am using (Dep 7) is extra-strength and leaves my hair all straight and nasty and dry. I plan to switch to a milder gel since I don't need as much control (AKA glue) anymore. With no gel in my hair today my bangs were hanging right in my eyes. So I decided to use a little Brylcreem. I still have almost a full tube left over from my short hair days. First of all, a "little daub WON'T do ya". It never did. You need an inch or two, even on short hair. With my long hair all it did was make it mildly greasy. Nothing more. It sure doesn't hold my hair anymore! So today I had greasy bangs hanging in my eyes and I learned something.
So... can anyone recommend a good mild gel for straight, thick hair?

Try American Crew LIGHT Hold Gel, applying it a little at a time until you have the amount of control you seek. The gel is water soluble so will rinse out (shampooing not necessary) and will dry on the hair leaving NO residue (flakes,etc.) Good luck; good grooming.
Also try:

Gollan:
Try either Wet by Sebastian or Styling Creme by Bumble and Bumble. Wet gives you a nice look and great hold without being sticky. It smells great, too. The Styling Creme allows you to do with your hair what you want to once you apply it. Brylcreem will make your hair greasy because that is what it is designed to do. Good Luck.
