What is the best hair gel for men who have thin hair?

It heavily depends on the hairstyle you want to have. Before you start you should have your hair ready in best condition. I use Head and Shoulders ';Shampoo';(Any deep cleaning ones that gets of dandruff/oil/dryness) I can't nail the name because they seem to be changing it everytime.





Just as a note, shampoo is very different from conditioner. Normal shampoos with no special function stated can only give you a slight wash and good smell, but will not help your hair's condition.





For conditioner, I perfer Matthew James' Leave In Moisturiser. It's a conditioner you don't have to wash off, best of all- it's not sticky! It really improved my hair's smoothness, and it comes at a very fair price- around $20 au a bottle, last for more than half a year. Even ladies will want hair caring tips from you. Totally magical.(This is no joke, it happened to me)





The leave in moistruiser comes in a orange bottle, I brought my at Price Cutters.





Head and Shoulder's conditioner produces rather medicore result after you dry your hair as hair dryer can damage your hair too.





Use stronger ones (e.g. Wella's High Hair) if you want gravity-defying ones (Like Mohawk)





I had a mohawk once, but it's done for the day if you lie down, or when you snooze on the bus.





Schwarzkopf ones also gives good shaping power too. I don't know what your hair is really like so I can't make the decision for you. But if you ask the hairdresser who works for the saloon they will find your ideal gel for you.





Most gels are sticky, I don't like sticky ones.





And pricy doesn't equal quality. You need to try it to know, try to find a friend with a 'raging good' hairstyle you like and see what they use. (Usually women)





How I do it:


1. Head and Shoulder Shampoo to bring head skin and hair cleanness back to normal level. Don't use ';Anti-danduff conditioner'; or solely conditioner/moisturiser, they don't remove abnormal condition (dryness etc)





Do step 1 at off peak times, which means nothing important will turn up within 24 hours. Usually I wash in the morning. Sleep after washing will give you a lion hair aka bad hair day(Good if you are going to flurry party). It's ok to use hair dryer at this stage.





2. Use Matthew James' Leave In Moisturiser 'after' your hair is fully dried. Don't put a fistful of them, use moderate amount to avoid miscomfort and waste.





Wait for a few minutes, go have breakfast, watch tv.


Don't dry the leave on moisturiser with hair dryer, they are not like normal conditioners.





Grab a haircomb of your choice and work the magic.





3. After it's done, use the hair gel of your choice.What is the best hair gel for men who have thin hair?
Depends totally on what you want to do with it. I hate heavily gelled hair so I use minimal amounts of Garnier Fructis Style Polishing Wax (Strong) which works well for very subtle styles... wouldn't recommend it for crazy anime sort of stuff.What is the best hair gel for men who have thin hair?
car 'oil.. thick good for hair gives it drive
I used to have incredibly short hair and I often made the mistake of using ';Extra Hold'; ';Hard Hold'; gels etc etc, use a gel with ';Natural Hold'; or a weak hairspray. Hard gel isn't always the answer for short/thin hair as it can make the hair look very bald when the gel dries and strands of hair stick together. Avoid wax completley! If you are going to use a heavy/hard gel, use minimum amounts only!
