elmers and hairspair?
I like Kevin Murphy stuff a lot. I use free hold on my long-ish hair. If you want something more substantial, rough rider or night rider.
I also use and like Kevin Murphy's products. Most of his products are pastes and clays, however, which will really weigh your hair down if you use a lot of it. It's not really designed for super long hair, depending on your length. I would say, after about 4 inches, you might want to consider something else.
FWIW, I like:
Night Rider: The firmest hold that I've used. Stuff is very thick and can be hard to work with. I find it helps to add some water to your hands when mixing it up. I'm Asian and use Night Rider sometimes to hold down the sides of my hair, which can stick out.
Gritty Business: I think this may have been discontinued. It's a medium hold that adds texture.
Free Hold: Medium hold that's much easier to work with.
If you have longer hair, you can try Kevin Murphy's anti-gravity. It's a volumizer that will help keep your hair up. Good for messy quiffs and the like.
I asked Sythn once what hair products he uses, as I like his hairstyle. He said Fatboy. I picked up a small jar of it after he recommended it and I like it.
I also like Shear Revival's Northern Lights, which is a matte paste. Somewhat similar to Free Hold -- medium hold, easy to work with, good for hair lengths that are about 3 to 4 inches.
