Men's hair: side-swept/ slciked-back

Hi,
My hair is kind of like these styles: http://ukhairstyles.net/short-haircuts/2014-undercut-hairstyles-for-men/, but since I got the cut I have been struggling with styling products.

The problems I usually have are:
- a part of my hair is sticking out forward from the top, it's not held in place with the rest of the hair
- my hair is very light blonde and it tends to look greasy very easily
- it takes a lot of product to keep my hair flicked back totally

So what I'm actually looking for is a product that keeps all of my hair slicked back or side swept all day long, without parts flicking out, and that doesn't make my hair look greasy.

I'm not in to adding hair mousse or hairspray, I just need one product that does the job.

I hope somebody can help me with this.
Thank you!

This group is concerned with clothes not hair which you could have easily discovered: Try somewhere else.

I tried the Suavecito pomade firme hold. It's really what I needed: strong hold and low shine.
Thanks for the suggestions though.

Picked the Suavecito up after seeing it at a stall at a car show. Not too bad, it's good stuff, but if you get a chance, give the Uppercut line a go. Especially their regular pomade, it's water soluble as well and smells mighty fine. I personally prefer it over the Suavecito, but that's just me.

As for their Monster Hold, it's not water soluble so it will be in your hair for a few days but it's pretty low shine, doesn't look greasy and is good for thicker hair. Even if you jump out of the shower having rinsed with water, you can just comb it back and it sticks. It will be stronger than the Suavetico...actually I found the regular line of Uppercut pomade to be stronger as well.

Layrite is another good water soluble option.

Thanks, After I've experimented a bit more with the suavecito I'll try the uppercut regular pomade.
How is the shine compared to the suave firme?
