I am a woman with long thick wavy hair that dries naturally. When dry it flops in my face. Drives me nuts! I need recommendations for products (wax, gel, whatever) to put on my hair at the temples and near the forehead to keep the flops away. Preferably it would not be shiny, sticky or flaky (ie, as natural looking as possible) and would be something I could use on wet or dry hair.
I appreciate the help.

The only product I know that works well for long hair is made by "ICE," and is called Spikerz hair glue... or something like that.

It, however, is sticky to the fingers. Very sticky. I think it is actually glue. But, it's not an issue on the head. It is not flaky or shiny, though.

Don't know if that helps at all.

If you have wavy hair, use pomade or a serum designed for curly/wavy hair. After washing your hair, put some pomade or serum into your hands and then distribute it evenly throughout your hair, then let it air dry if possible. This will smooth the strands, add control, and prevent your hair from becoming frizzy.
