Wax, Gel, Putty, Spray or Natural?
Just for men
I find a double post followed by swift moderator intervention is the key to success.
Your right on target
A little clay to keep the front under control
Some stuff that makes it look normal instead of looking like I have just put my fingers in a plug socket.
Matt clay for me. Just a touch to keep my flowing locks in place.
A picture of me taken a little while ago.
Any tips?

🙂 Had to stop using wax, stuff doesn't wash off, can't get a decent grip on my wacom stylus. Having hair can be a right nuisance.

nowt.
Nothing, not even shampoo. It's in much better condition now than it ever was when I used "product".
Special Gel?

Clippers
Ponytail band 😉
Nowhere near as much as i used to do when i was younger. The fingers in an electric socket look was the one i went for

Teeny bit of spray. Just to cover my hereditary (non-mpb!) baldpatch (thanks Dad).
Had to stop using wax as it was pulling my loosely attached locks out. Just use sweat now.
Fudge hair shaper
Nothing - i am not even sure what most of those are
Matt paste/putty/fiber - same shit really.
American Crew make a nice expensive one, Vo5 make a nice cheapo £3 one. Both kinda do the same thing as far as i'm concerned.
Touch of hair spray.
Gel is for 13 year olds.
nothing. just let it flow naturally....
mud, sweat and tears
Grade 1 every few weeks, otherwise it just grows into a dense curly hedge that no amount of hair product can control.
I just leave it to its own devices. It seems happy.

You talkin to me? 😆
A very small amount of coconut oil. My lengthy Indian hair tends to go a bit wild otherwise.
Fudge, paste, putty, clay? WTF. Are we men?
Little dab of putty stuff at the start of the week. Then natural man-hair-grease takes over till the following week's hair wash.
A quick rinse with whatever the wife has spent a fortune on it boots this week (I don't bother with the conditioner) and brush whilst a bit damp - I used to use all sorts of weird and wonderful things in my 20's but looking back a photos it was all terrible - best hair of my life at the moment.
Only downside, all the waxes and shit made it look slightly less grey - still, better grey than pink.
Natural for me. This does result in me looking like a fluffy newborn chick after a washing it, and the "dragged through a hedge backwards" look when getting out of bed. Fortunately I long ago abandoned any pretence of style, grooming, elegance.
GEO Trumper, Extract of Limes Cologne, for that special occasion 🙂

More of a deep brown, I would think.
I go to the hairdresser and say "cut it so that I don't need anything more than a comb and 5 seconds to make it work when I fall out of bed in the morning"
A while back I had to go to a hairdresser and say "I've not had an actual haircut for 15 years- I don't know what to do, what to ask for, I am a failure as a human adult- THINK FOR ME!" I'd got to the magic length where it falls out as fast as it grows 😆
