Stick em Up
A Nielson
Stick em Up, and I don’t mean your hands, I
mean your hair.
When I have to catch the bus at 7:00 am
I want a hair style that is fast, easy ,
no
blow dryer, flat iron, just slap on
some gel & spike it and go.
Not all gels work the same. For years I struggled with Volumex,
My hair looked gelled but my spikes drooped,
and curved like a tidal wave.
Advertised as
1. Volumizing gel
2. Builds sensual fullness I didn’t want to be sensual I wanted
spikes
So I asked
my co workers for product recommendations and they suggested :
Beyond the Zone, Bad Bing Gel,
It seems to me, the better the hair gel, the
bolder the claims, the stronger the adjectives
Super
Hold, sculpt & mold
Extra hold Gel
What’s the difference between Ultra hold,
super hold, extra hold & maximum hold?
I tried this brand and it worked much better
than Volumex.
I’ve been known
to stop total strangers and ask about their hair style. In one rest room, I inquired
of a classy grey haired lady “How did
you get your hair to spike so evenly.?”
“I blow dry
it and spray it with hair spray.” Wrong
answer too much work.
Another time stopped the perfectly spiked blonde hair stylist and asked her the same
question. She suggested “Spike It.” Hey
isn’t that a spice in my cupboard. Yes, it was.
Spike
It is another Beyond the Zone brand
which boasts “Defy Gravity” I believe I could glue myself to a tree or a post
with this stuff. ( Not for astronauts)
“Ruthless hard hold”
“Texture and Shine.”
I tried the “Spike It” and yes, the claims are true.
It takes very little gel to hold, It shines and dries fast and hard. A little
goes a long way. I run my fingers through my hair to make spikes . separate the spikes with my rake. Then I
hurry to and wash my hands off before my fingers stuck together and before the
rake sticks to my hand.
I’m so glad this ridiculous carefree hair
style is popular….. Gone are the days
when mother checked to see if my hair was combed and parted straight before I
left for school. Spiked hair dos have crossed the lines of decency. The idea is not to looked combed. Halt, this is a Stick up, use “Spike It.”
