Best defining/finishing product
15 Posts
I have very short hair, which looks best as a slightly messed up look. As my hair tends to go flat in the heat, it's not going to be a good look. I've tried wax, fudge and gel, but can't say I'm entirely happy with any of them. Any recommendations please? ps. hairspray is fine, I'll stick with John Frieda
Helen my DIL uses and swearas by ............. Oasis dust it mattifying powder by schwarzkopf, its a powder that you lightly add to the roots of your hair and it gives it lift and hold the style when blowdrying or straightening i suppose , i bought hers for xmas off amazon , not sure if you can buy it in shops or hairdressers
Perhaps you could use the defuser on a hair dryer or you could get round brush and put it in the roots and circle your hair and hairspray underneath it. (Never new it was so hard to explain things through a keyboard!) Tresemme has good volume products for hair which you put on after washing it. My hair is very flat too so I know how you feel!

Have Googled it Llindy and I think it's spelt Osis Dust
I think Helen's looking for a product to use for defining after blowdrying. In the past I've used a fudge and John Frieda's was for blonde hair but I've recently bought SP styling Cream from my salon. It comes in a pump diffuser and you only need a small amount. You apply to your hair after styling and tease out certain areas. I haven't decided whether I like it or not yet 
Short hair & messed up look - try some of the Fish products. Sold in Boots. OK they are sold for men, but they are brilliant.
I tend to use the fishfingers moulding wax if I want it to last but it is a bit sticky or kingfisher styling creme which has UV protection in.
http://www.fishsoho.com/ Only just realised after looking at website that they do ladies range too!

@ Llindy - no worries
Llindy - that's useful info too, although it is a product to style after blow drying that I'm looking for.
Hi Helen, not sure how short your hair is, but i work in a gents hairdressers where the guys have their hair washed, cut and finished and the most popular product by far is called 'Rough Paste' by redken, you only need to use a 5pence peice amount and distribute through the hair evenly, then style. It gives a lovely sheen without being 'greasy' looking as some wax's can do and its re-workable, so no stiffness at all .
hope this helps

Thanks Juby, would they sell that somewhere like Boots, or is it just available at hairdressers?
