    I would recommend using own brand super cheap gel (26p in Morrisons, Tescos etc) as it has no alcohol in it and you shouldnt get that crispy feeling:)
    Thank you for this site Martin
    The time for change has come
    Good luck for the future
  • Made a new spray including cheap hair gel & to be honest I think the result was better without it.

    I bought a smaller water spray bottle, but I think an old leave in conditioner spray bottle (or similar) would be better.

    I use the Umberto Giannini sea salt spray (cant remember its exact name), which gives me the bedhead look! Its not very MSE though (about £5), I got it in a gift set at christmas, but I'm sure you could whip one up easily!

    I noticed that this (or a combination of this and an alternative selected Umberto Giannini product of your choice) is currently on offer at Boots, 2 for £7.50

    I have poker straight hair just below my shoulders. I use Asda's own gel to scrunch it when its damp, bit of hairspray to hold it in place and voila, scrunchy hair:D

  • I've tried gel & it does nothing for my hair but make it feel horrible unfortunatly. I have never used hairspray either so wouldn't have a clue which type to buy.
  • Some brands use magnesium sulphate (Epsom salts) instead of sea salt.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    I have very curly hair and love it as it stops the frizz, sister has poker straight hair and this makes her hair look wavy but fashionable wavy

    you put it on wet hair and either let it dry naturally or if you want a fuller look you can diffuse it

    it dont know how it is different to other products but for some reason it does give a totally different effect

    Sounds good, but seems it there's no smaller bottles of it. Not really too keen spending the money on a full size bottle if it's not going to be suitable.
