Scent-free hair-gel?
« on: October 29, 2007, 12:19:00 AM »
OK, perhaps the ladies will be able to help me more on this one:  I have long, curly hair.  And I'm looking for natural / home-made / scent-neutral hair-gel to use on hunts.

After using H.S. Scents Body/Hair shampoo, my hair is clean... but gets frizzy even in a pony-tail.  Hats/ headnets don't keep the stubborn lone hairs from finding their way into my eyes, and I would use my regular styling gel ...if it didn't smell so great!   ;)  

Would something as simple as scent-free lip-balm work?

Yes, I can help you! In the Cabela's catalog there is a product called Huntress. It is not natural or homemade but it is the only scent free hair gel I have ever seen and I have seen it for the first time just this season. I have some and have tried it once. It is scent free but I have decided, what's the use, if i'm going to put a hat on after using it. It may come in handy sometime though!

Just grow it all the same length and braid it.
Sometimes I feel like following robtattoo's link.  :readit:

Don't do it son....you'll make us look like a bunch of nancy boys.  And for Heaven's sake, don't use the word frizzy..  :saywhat:  

Just get a bigger hat...you do live in Canada and it gets cold up there.  Get a big wool hat.

I can attest to the effectiveness of Robtatoo's "solution" (only I use the cheaper, throw away, hand jobbies). Then all ya gotta do is spritze yer headbone with any good Scent Killer, ever now 'n agin.

... at least he had the NUTS to ask the question!

My advise would be to just flame all them frizzy stuff away with your goldsmithing torch    :smileystooges:

I take a razor to my head every couple days.  Nice and smooth.  That would solve your gel problem!

Back when I had long hair, I just tied it back with a strip of leather...

Kind of looking forward to growing it again when I retire from law enforcement, except I'll probably look like Dharma's dad, Larry Finklestein...   :goldtooth:
