Good styling product for thick, longer hair that doesn’t listen?
My hair has just started dropping below my shoulders. I didn’t used to think my hair was thick but I’ve since had 4 different barbers call it thick “like straw.” I like it longer and keep it naturally parted but without product it’s always getting in my eyes and generally looking unkempt/lots of loose hairs. I’ve tried some thick hair gels/glues before that have left my hair crunchy and flat looking (and flakes as well), so I’m hoping for something less intensive that is still good enough to tame my hair to stay the way I style it. Any recommendations would be appreciated. I don’t have a ton of money to burn so I figured this would be more effective than trial-and-erroring for much longer.
