I am asking about what process for men should you style your hair?
I have been always curious on how sprays/gels/wax works. Usually men just slap on some gel and just leave it like that. For men that have thin hair though the gel sometimes hold but I see hair stylist finish off with the spray. So is it the correct procedure to usually start off with the styling wax/gel and finish off with the spray? Or is that apparantly for special occassions?

I've always used gel on wet hair then blew it dry. Hairspray only when I needed a bit of extra hold - if I had pieces that really needed to stay in place, like an updo. Gel on dry hair tends to have a "wet" look that can be kind of scary. Wax on dry hair holds as well as gel without the wetness. But usually gel/wax first, then a spray to finish it off.

I'm a male with long thick hair thats colored. I use shampoo and conditioner for color treated hair. I use moose from VO 5 called curls before I dry my hair. I use another product from VO5 thats a curl spray, I spray each section of my hair before I roll it on hot rollers. And finally I use a hair spray to keep my curls in place all day.

Well,
I have gone through the products that you have used and of course, most of them are not that much effective as they may have many side effects. I suggest you to take the wise decision and if you have long hairs, you can go ahead with many hairstyles and you look pretty smart.

How much are you wanting to spend? Redken has a very good mens line that specifies your hair needs . You would need the shampoo densify and they have some sort of volume type spray called bulk up . They also have a few pomades waxes and gels depending on the type of hold you would like. To finish off they have a hairspray. I like this line because it is specifically for men and it smells wonderful. Hope this helps
