Gels tend to flake up on my hair and make it look dull. If I'm wearing a ponytail or bun, I just use a cream moisturizer, some oil, and gently brush it back w/ a boar bristle brush. After that I tie it down w/ a scarf and I'm good to go.

Hope that helps!

Fantasia IC works well it has good hold and doesnt flake. It does dry hard but softens after a day or so.

Shea butter, aloe vera gelly, or moisturizer + coconut oil

THANKS !!! Those tips really help..I knew that I need to do something different so my hair won't look like a greas ball all day.....plus I do makeup in a beauty salons , and I get sick of the stylsts ( who already want to get their hands in my head) telling me that my hair looks messed up, cause it's sooo oily. Ok maybe they don't say messed up, but they might as well seeming they are ALWASY trying to give me hair advice...lol, I will use some of these tips

I use paul mitchell LAB extreme thickening glue.

It holds hair in place like crazy, esp. my nape which tends to pop out during the day.

I got a couple of bottles from the hair salon in Walmart, but I suppose you can get it from anywhere that sells paul mitchell stuff.

I heard about it from "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" b4 we moved over here.

I spray my hair first w/ a mix distilled water/glycerin/jojoba oil.

Then I put Fantasia IC hair polisher gel on my edges......brush then bam! a slicked pony tail -lol!

Beyond The Zone Stiffhead is awsome. I use coconut oil on top of that for shine.

 

[crlsweetie912]

cosigning on the beyond the zone! I use it with jam and it controls the oiliness.

 

[amwcah]

I use a little Jamacian Castor Oil, my fingers, and a scarf. I tried the Jam, but that's just too greasy with no added benefit to my hair but slicking. My fingers and a scarf lays my hair perfectly. I was skeptical at first about not brushing, but it seems to be working just find.

Does this flake? Can you scratch your head without it flaking? I know World of Curls does not flake, but it can be greasy.

 

[Vshanell]

^^I haven't noticed any flaking or build-up with BTZ Stiffhead.

 

[SilkyandSmooth]

I use Fantasia Frizz Buster Straightening gel. I have almost 3 months worth of new growth and this gel holds my hair down like it's nothing. It doesn't dry the hair out or anything.

 

[Dee-Licious]

A moisturizer and a scarf. Works everytime.

 

[Ambitious1013]

I use a little castor oil to keep my hair in place.

 

[JustKiya]

I use Oyin's Burnt Sugar, with a doorag tied on top to keep my hair slicked back - works every day, smells WONDERFUL, and doesn't leave any funky flakes or anything

 

[glamazon386]

The greasy part is why I stopped using Jam. Try QP Glaze. I use Fantasia gel now though bc the Glaze kept taking the polish off my fingernails.

 

[keluric]

My hair lays down really, really easily but sometimes I use either t-tree growth creme (great consistency), aloe vera gel, fantasia ic gel w/ sparklelites or citre shine anti-frizz serum with a gel.

bingo, the same method works wonderfully for me.

I use carol's daughter healthy hair butter. I have some pics/directions in my fotki.

Fantasia IC works well it has good hold and doesnt flake. It does dry hard but softens after a day or so.

Im also a fan of Fantasia IC Gel...and I found that if I add a few drops of oil and rub the combo together in my hands before applying, it doesnt dry hard but still holds ALL day.

 

[InquiringMind]

I use profectiv daily anti-breakage stengthener. I hate gels and haven't used gels since i was a child. I think creams work as a good smoother. Once my perm starts going out, I use a head scarf with the cream to smooth the sides down.

 

[JuicesN'Berries]

I usually use a protein, non alcohol based gel (preferably queen helene cholesterol gel) and Castor oil. I believe the gel holds it but the castor oil softens it. So I never have that hard brittle hair that you have to wash before you do anything with it kinda hair!

 

[SoAnxious12]

i use mango butter mostly. But if my hair is acting really mean and nasty that day, i may use elasta qp mango butter mixed in with Fantasia IC Sparkelites gel for super hold.

 

[xstacy2]

i use plain ole hair conditioner . what ever you have sitting around not being used. it keeps my hair laying down and it seems like it helping it grow back . the front hair line.

Who makes that?

 

[EMJazzy]

Fantasia IC Thick 'n Shine

 

[RZILYNT]

Elasta mango butter works wonders for my hair I smooth it on and tie a scarf on my head for nite time and it stays put for the day.

 

[naturallyme]

I use Fantasia Frizz Buster Straightening gel.

i use this also, and fantasia thick n' shine gel.
