Dressing Better Vol 2.0

[shogun]

I used that surf hold a few years ago. It smelled good but did not hold my hair in place at all.

Can anyone on here speak on hair products? I know this is a dressing better thread, but I figured i'd give this a try.

I'm going for the "hair part" look and my barber recommended I use wax to style my hair. I have thin and flat hair, so I need something that will give me volume. I also don't want that super shiny look.

Someone told me to look into Pomade.

If your hair is thin you can probably get away with using a mousse to style then hair spray to hold it.  If that's too excessive then maybe try American Crew Fiber.  I have a friend who uses it and it gives off a matte look and he's able to get a nice part.

I use Eufora For Men Texture Putty because I have thick hair, so I need a really strong hold.  It gives off a matte look, but it's a pain to style because it settles quick and it's too thick for a comb, so you have to use your hands, which rules out a nice part

.

I use Gatsby wax, but my hair is too coarse/straight to comb to the side - my hair guy recommended that I just get an undercut and keep it long up top and add texture.

If you're looking to part, any pomade/wax is good to use.

I really like American Crew Fiber. It lasts awhile, and has pretty good hold. No shine either

I'll give American Crew Fiber a chance. I did like what I saw with Johnny B. Maybe If I don't like how ACF works, I'll try that.

Thanks, a lot DB crew

Edit: I tried giving reps to everyone who responded to my question, but I ran out of reps. Sorry to the people who couldn't get rep

Kiehl's has some really good hair products, I'll have to check the names.

Very welcome, my man. If I get a chance I'll take a pic of what my hair looks like so you can get an idea of the hold and how it changes texture/shines

Not really. 3 oz bottle is ~$15 in store and it will last months unless you're putting more than necessary in your hair daily.

Anybody in here currently working on a pair of Selvedge Denimzzz?

I'm 3 months in and the stank is getting bad...

I must say, they are coming along quite nicely... except that stank part.

 

[sarteaga0408]

I should start using hair product, never have but I think it may be time to start trying to style it.

Try putting them in the freezer. The bacteria that is giving the smell should freeze and die...supposedly.

I thought folks were trolling at first but they actually do this. I've also heard of putting them in the dryer for 15 mins.

I personally don't do either.

I've done it a couple of times only, once they start having a smell and it's worked for me. Otherwise I usually don't do anything to my denim either.

I also have thick straight asian hair. Water + hairspray ftw

Man, just wash them

.  You can hand wash them in your bathtub if you want to be careful, but I threw mine in the washer on the delicate cycle with Woolite Darks detergent.

When I first got my APCs they were really smooth, but got a little rough in the washer.  I stopped caring after that and threw them in whenever they got dirty or started to smell, whichever came first.  They're still holding up after 2 years and have a nice fade.

Looks for my journalism internship. I was told that D.C. is a conservative town, but I try to be colorful here and there.
All suits are from H&M, got them tailored.
All shirts are Express 1MX Extra slim fit (gotta dry clean them or else they shrink in the sleeves)

Disapointed I couldn't find a navy suit with double vents, H&M only has them in single

)

 

[antidope]

My H&M never has that many colors of suits. Those all look real nice though

 

[diego]

Homie looking good at a fraction of the cost.

Props b.

Everything looks good. Perfect example how you don't have to spend a lot to look good as long as you have a good tailor.
