Redken For Men Hold Still Styling Spray
According to a Gallup Study, 16% of men use hairspray. If you're one of those guys (we're not ashamed to say that we occasionally partake), ditch the Aqua Net for good and get yourself a can of the Redken For Men Hold Still styling spray ($11; Salons only in Sept.). We've been testing it for a week or so and can tell you that it's a fast-drying spray that provides super firm hold all day long.

Redken #12 Rough Paste
It’s hard to find a good, reliable hair product that will give you control over what your fro will look like the entire day yet not repel women with porcupine-ish spikes. We here at Uncrate have been using #12 Rough Paste from Redken ($14-15) for almost two years now, and we have yet to find anything better — despite the fact that we’ve experimented with quite a few different styles over that time period. We even almost agree with Redken’s description that it offers “rough, ragged texture and moveable, non-stop separation,” so unless you’re bald, check this stuff out.
