Well, mousse usually leaves more residue in your hair
which, when dry, can look a bit like dust fibers.
I prefer the softer, moist look of gels.
Pomade...

A very good product, especially while in the awkard stage, is pomade. Contains healthy ingredients and leaves a nice shine in your hair, while allowing your hair to be manageable. I use Crew Pomade. The trick is to not over-use this stuff. You only need a fingertip amount at a time. Seriously, this product should be in your arsenal.
Pomade, how do you use?

How DO you use it? Just curious, I've seen the stuff before, but....It just seems like wax to me. LOL

You use just a little bit because it is thick. While your hair is still damp, rub a little bit on both hands and work it through with your fingers from the root to the tip. Stuff is great, never hardens, keeps the hair manageable and gives it a shine.
I use American Crew Pomade, but there are others.

It's been years since I used mousse, myself, but I found it acted a lot like hairspray - the only difference being that you applied it by hand, as opposed to spraying. There are only three things I use in my hair now, and they're all products by Suave (nice, cheap, effective):
Shampoo
Conditioner
Spritz Styling Gel (help to significantly reduce frizzing) - I was wearing this when I took the recent pictures I posted of myself.

In my experience, I believe mousse dries faster. And if you use L`Oréal, its mousse is not sticky at all, whereas gel seems to stick.
