Woody'sWood Glue Extreme Styling Hair Gel, 4 oz

Funny, it really does have the consistency and color of wood glue! Shampoos out easily on the first wash. Doesn't get sticky or flake. Doesn't make your hair look like you have product in it. Holds all day. A little goes a long way. I thin it out with a little water by wetting my hands first, then applying a small amount to my hands, and then rubbing my hands together a little.

This is what I use when my hair is short and I spike it up. There isn't anything better that I've found.
