1. Mousse after I wash it, then tons of hairspray.
I have very fine flyaway hair and need all the help I can get to give it volume.

2. Frizz Ease hair serum
And gel.

That's after shampoo and conditioner.

3. A very light gel - and not much of it - before I dry it.
Hairspray after.

7. Beat you by ONE product.
Shampoo, rinse, dry.

I came of age in the 80s - I've used enough hair product to last me a lifetime.

13. LOL...Same here
I remember walking into the bathroom at school and getting a mouth full of Aqua-Net. NASTY! I have to condition, my hair is long and knots up without it.

16. Well, I am a guy, and my hair is short now.
So no worries about tangles. But back in the 80s I swear I was buying a bottle of Aussie Mega-Hold every other week to get my hair "just right".

14. If I don't use conditioner
my hair feels and looks rather like a Brillo-pad.

5. Gel - What do people put in their hair to get that kinda wet
oily appearance like Al Pacino? I've been wondering that for a while. Probably motor oil, right?

8. Hair-straightening serum
Otherwise I get loads of those crappy little bits sticking up from the rest of my hair.

If I've got time, and am trying to look decent then add half a can of hair-spray as well.

Also known to use gel, wax, and very occasionally mousse.

9. Nothing.
I am very lucky. I have fine, straight hair that I keep very short. The only time I have trouble w/ it is when I take off the hood of my parka or my silk scarf. Then I look like I stuck my finger in a light socket. :bzzt:

17. Nothing.
But that's because I'm a fool. I have such thick wavy hair, there's little that can be done to tame it. I wish it was all fine and straight. *sigh*

18. mousse after washing, before blow drying
non-aerosol hairspray to finish up. Not that it holds long with my thin hair but it is worth a try :)

21. Hairspray.
Used to use wax, but now it's longer and only hair spray will do!
