Poll: Do you use hair gel? WHY?!

[WrongSprite]

Yeah, back when I had short hair. It's pointless nowadays 'cause I have long hair. But yeah...it's alright stuff. It doesn't get sticky unless you swim in it, and I've met loads of girls who like it. So...heavy bias on your side I guess.

 

[Wadders]

I use the tinyest amount, just to get my fringe to stay. Its such a small amount that you cant even notice it, it just looks dry like normal hair. Or maybe thats just the type of gel I use.

The rest of my hair is so short that it looks after itself.

Bias? I used to use it myself. And none of the girls *I've* met like it.

I don't know what gels you've come across, but what you're describing sounds more like pomade to me.

Just... any gels look awful.

I use hairspray because my hair is too thick for gel.

Ha! Feed that to your logic

Oh yea, I'm a guy by the way.

No it's like giving cousin It underwear... it's completely pointless...<.<

Says who? Who died and made you the resident arbiter elegantiarum? Also, how the fuck do you start a poll when right off the bat, you state that all people who choose one of the options are dickheads?

Just one question... how old are you?

Sooooo, I can't state an opinion? I specifically said I used to use it, and just found it wasn't for me? My opinion is the basis for this discussion. The poll is just for background information. That's kind of the point.

Don't be such a douche next time.

EDIT:
And you realise you got worked up over a thread about HAIR GEL. For God's sake, mate. Perspective is nice.

My hair demands some sort of control, as no matter the cut, unless I wear it much, much longer than I am comfortable with (over my eyes, for example), it tends to stick out in at least 20 random directions at once.

I used to use gel for this back in the day, but hated that sticky spiky sensation, and once it started loosening up, it just added a few extra dimensions to my already overtly cow-licked situation.

Then, I found a dab of conditioner in dry hair works spectacularly, without any of the drawbacks, and I've never gone back. All it does is get softer and softer as it dries. Feels nice, and keeps my cow-licks under control.

I dislike people who use lots of it. You like like you're in a 90's boyband.

I use hair gel because my hair is horrible. What I mean is no matter what I do the hair at the front of my head will always stand up. So to compensate for this I have to keep my hair short and gel the rest of my hair up so I do not look like a pillock.

Are you just talking about just gel or hair products in general?

I use a dabble of Fudge to give it some texture, and the best bit is that it also smells like fucking caramel !, not that I've noticed that much...

And what you're describing sounds like they're wiping buckets of the stuff in.

Where does one get one of those :<

I agree, it sounds quite tasty

I mean, how else are you meant to feel about something called caramel-scented shaping fudge? Yummmm.

I like to style my hair by brushing it backwards from the crown of my head to the back. Naturally, my hair doesn't stick that way by itself, so I use some wax to keep it in place.

Other times I like to stick my hair up a bit. Wax solves that too. If chicks get away with hairsprays and curlers and straightners, I think I can get away with a bit of wax. A simple cut is boring.

When I was about 15-17 I used to use a gel to spike my hair right up about 4 inchs high.

 

[scyrin]

nope but people assume i do because my hair looks like clouds during a windy day

 

[Kwaren]

I use it to control my wild fro.

 

[Spygon]

I put gel in my hair to make it look a wet styled look like most of my friends.So i can style it the way i want and makes it look good in my opinion.Not sure what gel you have tried but they dont sound very good to be honest i use gel quite often and it has never clumped or gone sticky as it sounds like your using gel that was on the shelf 15 years ago.When i go out alot of blokes have some kinda wax or gel in there hair.I have had girls say that men that do not put stuff in there hair normally look like they have not made an effort and look "scruffy".

Also my hair seems to have a life of its own so if i do not put gel in my hair it goes fluffy and all over the place.

Hair wax man, that's where its at.

Holds better than gel, requires less to use, doesn't go off like gel does, if caught in the rain wont leave your scalp a greasy dripping mess, less obvious that hair gel.

It's seriously great, it just holds your hair there, it doesn't make it crunchy or greasy or anything.
