SLICKING PRODUCT...NOT GEL!!!

[lovechic]

WHAT'S A GOOD HAIR SLICKING PRODUCT TO USE WHEN I PULL/PIN MY HAIR UP??? BUT I DON'T WANT TO USE A "GEL" (YOU KNOW LIKE AMPRO) I HATE THAT FLAKY STUFF! THANKS IN ADVANCE!
P.S. SOMETHING THAT WILL ADD SHINE TOO! /images/graemlins/wink.gif

 

[Champagne_Wishes]

What about a pomade or wax?

 

[Dreamn]

i like aveda's brilliant humectant pomade. its a lil costly though. 18 bucks /images/graemlins/nono.gif

 

[lovechic]

YEAH, I USE POMADES... I WANTED TO USE SOMETHING THAT WORKS BETTER ON DAMP HAIR. MAYBE I WILL TRY A NO ALCOHOL MOUSSE.

 

[lovechic]

I SAW THIS BEFORE!! I MIGHT GIVE IT A TRY! IS IT GREASY?

 

[PretteePlease]

I have this it works well on flyaways http://gallery.bcentral.com/GID5108306P3546760-Hair-Styling/360-Style.aspx

[/ QUOTE ] OK, ON SECOND THOUGHT, I MIGHT NOT, CAUSE MOUSSE WON'T GIVE ME THE SHEEN! IGUESS I COULD ALWAYS USE SERUM TO TOP IT OFF! /images/graemlins/wink.gif /images/graemlins/wink.gif

I suggest Asha's sunkissed. It adds a nice sheen/shine (my hair is natural), a little goes a very long way and the smell is fabulous.

Salon Selcetives has some green stuff i think it is called putty or something that is not a gel that is good forslicking your hair down.

I use elasta qp mango butter it works great..I have a big tub of normal gel that I have even touched in weeks. I wish I'd never bought it !
You could also try elasta qp glaze

That's what I use on the rare occasion I want a slick look. It's called Salon Selective's molding putty. It costs about 3 bucks and smells like fruit. Also, it can be found at any drugstore.

Brilliant Humectant isn't greasy at all.

 

[alibi]

Let's Jam Extra Hold Gel. It's not like normal gels b/c it's not wet or flaky, but it does add shine and holds very well. It's the one with the orange top, not the green one. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[Healthb4Length]

AURA humectant pomade.

 

[sengschick]

Salerm 21 /images/graemlins/look.gif. Can't find any other use for it, but it did make my hair lie down. What about Aloe Vera Gelly? You have to mix it w/an oil for optimal results, b/c it will dry stiff like gel if you don't. Get 100 or 99.5% gel if you try it.

My aunt slicks her damp hair down with Murray's. She hates all gels.

No that's why I like them infact if you slick your hair with the mango butter then put on a scarf for a few mins you get nice waves.

 

[Dreamn]

lets jam is ok, for like 10 minutes and then my new growth will be back to flying off my head....and it has the nerve to leave a residue..eewww

 

[itismehmmkay]

Whatever you use, apply it to damp hair and use a soft brush. In the mornings, I'll apply some water to my hairline before adding Soft Touch grease and brushing it...absolutely does the trick /images/graemlins/up.gif

Thanks for the link, stryed. I just ordered from there. I'd seen her products mentioned in some of the naptural online albums and I definitely loved how the results looked. I better get offa here before I let more money fly outta the wallet. /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

 

[PretteePlease]

no problem but it does have mineral oil or petroleum i mostly use it on my ends my nephew left it when he visited

 

[MonaLisa]

I just ordered the Silk Effects from Vonte...I need something stronger than Mango Butter right now for these edges. Patiently waiting for the UPS delivery man.

 

[sbg4evr]

Elasta Qp Feel like Silk

It was amazing for making a bun when I had a texturizer

 

[miracle]

Black N' Sassy Style Smoother is a great slicking agent. It doesn't leave the hair hard or stiff and does not cause flaking.

 

[hubutterfly]

I really like Aveda Control Paste. Its a great slicking product and it has a natural level of shine so it doesnt look like I had to use alot of stuff to smooth my new growth when I want to do a slick bun.
