Alright ladies, I need your help!

Complicated?! Blow drying takes 2mins tops, brushing 30 secs, clay/putty each morning another 30 secs. Only wash your hair every four days, total styling time = 4mins, 30 secs. Go on Duality, I dare you!

I might just try it hobgoblin lol, but not just yet, I still got a bit of hair to grow

[Fatalis_Vox]

Okay, here's my advice.  I like to keep my hair shorter as well, in the summer, and it gets irritating when you don't want to shower.

 

First, invest in a dry shampoo.  I like the one from LUSH, but there's about a million different kinds.

 

Second, pomade and hairspray.  For Pomade, I recommeng Got2B brand.  It's cheap, functional, and has some stuff for dudes that smells good.  You'll want one that's a little more solid, as opposed to the tackier, stickier stuff.  (I recommend the one in the black jar that smells of tea tree.  <3 )

 

Hit your hair with the dry shampoo.  (You spray or dust it on, rub it through your hair, then rub or comb it out.)  This will get rid of any unnecessary oil or other grossness, and it also helps to texture your hair a little.  Next, take a bit of the pomade and rub it around in your palms, getting some between your fingers.  Run your hands through your hair and shape it how you want, using the pomade on your fingers to get the pomade through your hair and style.  When you get it looking how you want, finish with a little hairspray.  (Aerosol, for sure, and anything more than medium hold should do.)

 

In total, it should just take you a few minutes.  Enjoy!

I rather not use hairspray. My hair is so damn thick, one its set in a way without any products, it just stays. I do have and have used pomade in the past though, like the picture in this thread. 

 

I just don't want anything with a lady-like smell, because well, that's against the whole concept of my manly-hood. PLUS I don't think my girlfriend would like that my hair smells more girly than hers ¬_¬

[Fatalis_Vox]

Hence my suggestion of the Got2B.  It's the one my boyfriend uses.  It's a nice, subtle masculine scent and it goes well with most colognes.

 

You can probably skip the hairspray.  Maybe once you have your hair set the way you want, spray it lightly with water and blowdry it for just a moment. 

[Duality]

I don't have a blow dryer either xD

[Fatalis_Vox]

Step one:  Acquire basic hair-care products.  XD

[Duality]

Yeah, not a bad idea!

Cheapest solution I've found: baby powder. No blowers, no heaters, no water, no nothing; the cornstarch absorbs the oil, you muss it through your hair so that the excess falls out, and it looks great on everyone I've seen try it.

EDIT: to fix your signature!  http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/37778-quick-little-guide-to-fix-your-signatures/

Hey, I did say cheapest! They make better-smelling hair powder for 'dry showers' that work the same way, but they're harder to find unless you're willing to online order them. I've found that the smell of baby powder doesn't stick around long if I shake or brush the excess out, and what little is left smells better than I would otherwise ;D

 

Also- Thanks so much! I was wondering what was up with that. Signature fixed!

[SoftSoul]

Dry shampoo is awesome. Spray it in, brush it through. Spritz a little water on, hair gel. Get that delicious man kind of hair gel that smells like cologne. 3 steps, <10 mins.

I shaved my head.

[I-Jo]

pic's or shenns!!!

[Duality]

Shaved it to the scalp, but I was wearing nothing but a towel when I took em, to get that shock effect from my girlfriend, because I shaved my chest/stomach too while I was at it. It worked. BUT ANYWAYS. Here's the shaved head and chest/stomach, because, ..., because, ..., well just because.

 

[I-Jo]

 

wink wink nudge nudge- I likkkkkkeeeee it

LOL

 

I'm a sucker for short hair- I love all things short hair and bic-ed.   

[Duality]

what does bic-ed mean? (French kicked into high gear this morning)

[I-Jo]

Bic is a shaving brand... It's an expression used for people who shave down to the skin... Like Mr. Clean. :-)

[Duality]

Oh lol, now I get it lol, those disposables. I didn't razor it, I just used a clipper lol, my hair is way too thick to blade shave it, it takes like 2 hours and lasts like a day and a half. lol

[I-Jo]

Lol yeah its a process.

I like both variations. :-)

[pirateradio]

One trick fins yourself silk pillowcases, they aren't cheap, but because of their properties they don't cause bed head (I suspect it doesn't generate the static charge that causes hair to go nuts). You could also find a do rag like the football players wear under their helmets, if it is right kind of material might protect the hair, too.

[Lizz]

What direction do you comb it to style it? Comb it that direction sleep in a beanie and style in the morning...
