I use Redken Airset. It gives a great hold whether you apply it to wet hair or dry. Apply to hair when hair is the desired degree of dryness and that's how it will stay until you brush it out. If you apply when hair is still very wet then it will have the wet gel look all day or apply when dry and no one will be able to tell you have anything on it. It holds like hairspray but no lacquer ! It also conditions the hair.
The only problem is I can only find it on E-Bay so I order from there. It runs about 6.30 per bottle if you buy 10 bottles at a time from this seller: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://cgi.ebay.com/10-Redken-AIRSET-Heat-Styling-Protectant-Soft-Control-8_W0QQitemZ350138092250QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item350138092250&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50">http://cgi.ebay.com/10-Redken-AIRSET-He ... 7C294%3A50</a><!-- m -->
