This stuff is akin the the La Brea tar pits for hair. Thick and beyond gooey, when you dip into it your fingers come away with thick globs strung between your fingers and the jar. That being said--you do not need much at all! Remember, you can always add more if needed, but you can't get it out except for with a washing. It's a shade somewhere beyond electric blue with a funky little scent reminiscent of citrus and sugary candy.

The shine is awesome, but the main problem I've had with this product is it's heavy. No matter how little of it I use, it seems to really weigh my hair down. The style I try to morph my locks into with it just doesn't stick and it looks like someone's cupped their hands over my hair by the end of the day and given it a personalized hat head look. In a pinch, with just snipped hair, it works fairly well, but starts to work less well once my hair's grown out about two or so weeks. Considering the price, there are better, more consistent pomade products out there.

I have short blonde hair. This is the BEST haircare product I have EVER used, and I have tried LOTS. If applied sparingly you will end up with cool Meg Ryan bed-head type hair. My stylist also uses it.

I have a "pixie" hair cut, and I have never found a product that helps me style and place my hair...until now. Better than hair spray. You just need a very little bit on your fingers and place your hair where you want it. The Manipulator does the rest. Remember...just a very little bit. I recommend it highly.

*****
Bedhead Manipulator by Tigi is a unisex hair cream that can be used for styling, texturizing, and forming. It is not really a gel, more like a very sticky cream (almost like glue or paste...or even cement!) that is the consistency of honey. It dries very naturally though (not at all like glue or paste), and leaving a sort of fiber in your hair. Although all of this sounds weird, it seems to work much better than hairspray, which leaves a film OVER the hair; Manipulator is WITHIN the hair, so you can do more with it. It feels soft and nice when dry too---never greasy or waxy---and I can leave it in the next day without having the dirty feel to my hair that leaving the hairspray in does.

The way I use it is I put a very small amount on my fingers, and then rub my hands together. Next I apply it throughout my hair, but especially to the roots for lift. Lastly I twist and sort of "tweak" the ends of my hair to add texture. I have a short haircut, and it is the perfect product for people who have very little time or skill but who want a tousled and textured look.

It may seem expensive, but you use very little each time, so the two ounce container lasts a long time.

Highly recommended.

Amazon wouldn't stop emailing me about reviewing this product. So here's my review. It's good. Yay.

I bought this for my 4yr old for his "spikes". He loves it and wants it every day. It works well but it is very sticky.

I love this stuff! It is the best I have found for defining my hairdo. I use it to give it a little bit of wispy look. Great stuff!

I have been using the Bed Head Manipulator for many many years now. I used a substitute a while back because buying this was getting expensive, but I noticed that I had to use more of the substitute since it had a thinner consistency than the Manipulator. So I switched back. Thanks to Amazon, I can purchase it at a more reasonable price so it's a win win situation.

This is by far the only hair product I like. I just put it on my wet hair, shake it around and go. It stays put all day and looks great without turning caky or flaky. It is a little expensive, but well worth it and using the subscribe and save, I get it shipped to my house every few months, it lasts a while and I save some money.

I used this when I had really long hair (about a little past shoulder length) and my biggest problem was having my hair being held back properly.
I was suggested to use this specific brand and product and it works like a charm.
The best thing about this is that you have to use just a small amount and it leaves very little residue when it dries.
How I figured this out was that I usually have my sunglasses that act as a hairband and with most other wax and clay, the lens on my sunglasses always get foggy after a while. A whole day of using bed head and there was one small line that came from more than 8 hours of use and running my hand through my hair results in no residue or feel of stickiness.
I would be getting this again when I run out.
