Hi guys, when I first came on this site back in July I noticed a few people had mentioned Dep #8 to really hold hair into place during the awkward stage. It was funny, because I remember when I grew mine out years ago I think I used the same thing. Now that I am regrowing and preparing for the awkward stage, I was in the store and now I noticed Dep #10! It says on the front that your hair won't budge after using it, and there is no alcohol in it. Just thought I'd share for those thinking about using gel to control their hair during that infernal awkward phase! Needless to say, I picked up a bottle! We'll see how it works once I start using it.
Chow!
The numbers are a gimmick, man. Look for Dep #16, in stores near you, in a few years =).
If you have coarse, frizzy hair, the stuff just doesnt work by itself (gel). I should know, I have this hair type and have used tons of different gels. If I just shampoo my hair and put nothing in it, it drys instantaneously into a coarse, frizzy mess, and it isn't much better if I gel it. I get a gunked up, coarse, frizzy mess.
