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

Yes it is but the only Alcohol that dont really damage hair is cetyl alcohol, The rest will effect it in some way, Cetyl alcohol does somewhat help keep the hair soft.
