If you mean rock hard, then some kind of Gel circa de 1995.
If you mean something with a strong hold, try American Crew Fiber then finish up with a hairspray.

I'd see a doctor. Get a blood panel and check your zinc, biotin, vitamin A levels. It could be a symptom of something else. Does balding run in your family?
I am in the UK so not sure of brands if you are not but I use a Phillips one and it does me ok, I think there is a well know brand in the US that some youtubers mentioned but I can't recall the name.

I've been checking out some reviews and it seems like the iStubble http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004PXIR1W/ref=aw_d_img_back_hpc?qid=1368439597&sr=8-1
Is up there as one of the best.

I recently got a Wahl Lithium Ion trimmer off Amazon and I like it.

If your hairs gonna fall out it's gonna fall out. Can't stop that with any shampoo.

I will have to try American Crew or some other pomade. The stylist I go to gave me some sort of sculpting wax. Asian brand and I can't find anything online. Don't get me wrong, I like it a lot but would like to try something new. Do people generally experiment with various waxes/pomades or just stick to one that works?

I experimented with a lot of different product and ended up sticking with American Crew Pomade. If you apply it to wet hair it's kind of iffy but on dry hair it's got a pretty solid hold. The only issue is my hair gets oily over the course of the day so it tends to break out of its pomade shackles and starts getting wavy all over the place. I'll generally shower and reapply it if I need to go to an event in the evening.
A lot of it really depends on your hair style and the look you want. People can give you advice but at the end of the day it's all down to how your hair reacts to the product.

Bought the L'Oreal Power Moisture Rush Mask. Target inexplicably didn't carry any neutrogena hair products and I wasn't spending no $33 on the macadamia stuff. We'll see how this goes. My friends say my hair looks fine, but I can FEEL the frizziness. Agh!

If you're going to wrap your hair at night, make sure you use a silk or satin head wrap/do-rag. If you don't want to use a wrap, then make sure you use a silk or satin pillowcase. Regular cotton pillowcases pull at your hair while you sleep and absorb all its moisture. Just test this by rubbing some lotion on your elbow and then resting it on a cotton pillowcase. Your elbow is will be raw after a couple seconds, while it'll still be smooth and soft with a satin pillowcase.
Also, use some type of sealing mask on your hair. Summer is almost upon us, which means sky-high humidity. If you don't effectively seal in the moisture that you apply to your hair, your style will be ruined the moment you walk out of the house.
Invest in some extra virgin coconut oil. Dab that shit in your hair. Be amazed.
Final suggestion - rinse your hair with cold water before you step out of the shower. Same benefits for your hair as for your face.
Just to clarify, I want something that DOES NOT look like a gel, something that doesn't make it too shiny or whatever, but is still able to hold my hair in whatever position.
Would the Crew Fiber be my best bet?
Is there any specific name for this type of fade? I've been going the undercut route for a while (which everyone seems to like) but I kind of want to switch it up. It's funny cause so many people have the same hairstyle basically all their lives and I've switched it up a decent amount over the past couple of years.
Horse Detective
Why the long case?
The Wehrmacht haircut. It's something you will either have to describe or bring a picture of.
They will most likely fade the sides with a 1 to .5, but leave hair for a part.
Awesome. I'd bring in a photo anyway. It's much easier to just show that than explain it. I think I need to let my sides grow out more since it was cut at a uniform 2 with my last one.
Horse Detective
Why the long case?
Just near the part then. The hair around the ears in that picture is significantly shorter than a 2.

Why did I let a 16$ barber ruin Alfonso's creation?

What does it look like on the other side?
Horse Detective
Why the long case?
It's pretty much just blended to the same length. The barber knows what to do.
With that sort of hair cut, you usually can't interchange the side part though. If you do, it looks like long hairs over an undercut.

I literally had a 360 photo of my hair right after Alfonso got it cut and then she just fuckin gets a 4 razor and zip.

Yo gaffers, i'm finally going to cut my hair shorter (but not short) and i'm looking for some inspiration. I found only one haircut which suites me, but i'm open for other inspirations.
Something like this is what I want. Anyone has some other suggestions? The hair may be a little longer, but surely not shorter. Pics would be appreciated.

Hoping this is right thread 
I have brown hair, red beard, and blonde mustache. Anyone else have this *natural* tri-color issue?

Results of my cut from today. I used wax (Bumble & Bumble?) this time around and I really dig it so far.
You. sir. have some sexy hair. I wish my hair wasn't as stiff and straight as it is right now.

Great looking beard, regardless of sexual orientation.
New cut I got earlier this week. Not sure what the actual name of it is (half shave?), but I'm liking it a lot.

Undercut. Looks pretty good, could grow the crown out a bit more.

Thanks for the kind words, guys.
Also JVDICAN nice cut. Have you tried styling it with any product at all?

I was going to take this pic into my barber in a week or so, buuuttt....

Love it.
Thanks! Yeah, that what the stylist said too. It should be good by my next cut.
Thank you! Been messing with American Crew Styling cream, and Fiber. Anything I should try as far as styling it?

Thanks, guys. Pocks, I think you could rock the hell out of that picture you posted. Looks like it'd suit you well.
Also Rookje, the backyard belongs to my parents. I'll make sure and tell them my internet friends approve next time I visit.
Those are good things to start with. I'd probably work more on styling it until you get something you like and then worry about which product works best for you. Just put a little bit in your hands and mess around with your hair until you find something you like. Try a bunch of different things.

I'm gonna grow a beard.
I can't grow a beard and my hair is too weird. But at least I've got the cool leather jacket part covered.

Just saw Star Trek. The antagonist's hair reminded me of you guys.
