used many different products in my life,
gatsby, got2b, pomades if different kinds.... (layrite and more), di:fi, and other shit
i find loreal tecni art hairspray is the best with a good blow dry, only $20 per bottle as well in richmond where i live. Search it up on the loreal online website to find local salons that carry it.
a good 5 minute blowdry with a good brush + hairspray is best. Holds better than any product and very stylish.
edit: also depends on what type of hair style and length of hair you have. The shorter the hair, no need for hairspray. I find gatsby red box is good for short hair. Gatsby can be found in local TnT markets. For longer hair, this hairspray does the trick. No residue, long lasting hold, and workable.
