Can anyone recommend some products I can find locally that do a good job creating a hydrated look/product for making it not look so dry and bulky, but not overdone with product (meaning wet and greasy). Does matte pomade work or is it bad for the hair?

Thanks for any advice, this piece I got (not toplace) is already sort of dry and if it isn't damp you can already see some blonde/red tones. After I get it thinned out tomorrow when cut-in I would like to find something at the drug store, not too crazy, fairly conservative, but not the dry brittle look. You just can't wear these totally dry, even from day one. At the same time I don't want to look like I belong on the jersey shore if you know what I mean
