I'm looking at options for styling product aside from the big 4 (as per this post <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.network54.com/Forum/241571/thread/1200524960/last-1206735451/My+final+4+hair+gel+pomade+wax+products...comprehensive+review">http://www.network54.com/Forum/241571/t ... ive+review</a><!-- m -->)

I read somewhere on here that while alcohol in hair product is a HUGE NO NO for a system their is a certain alcohol used in many products that is okay for your system

care to elaborate?

The alchol that is not good for hair is Steryl Alcohol which I am pretty sure is not in those products.
Any hair wax will help with style, The one I like best is made by Belvedere and is called Short Cuts styling stick.

I think you are referring to SD alcohol. As far as I know stearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol (emulsifier, softener).

This stuff can be a bit confusing

it can be a bit confusing only because almost EVERYTHING has alcohol in it

even the stuff that would be considered "good"

for instance, i think that Johnathon Product's dirt looks like a great option (outside of the Big 4) but, lo and behold, it has CETEARYL ALCOHOL and SD ALCOHOL in it.

so, i'm on the fence if this is any good or not
so the "bad alcohol" is the SD alcohol, correct? that should be the only one i'm concerned with

mind you, i'm just gonna stick with the "Big 4" but I also want to know what my options are.

I haven't seen the thread yet but i might start one about product outside of waxworks that is suggested

again, thanx guys
