Back to School shopping list:

This, This, or This depending on your hair type/style you want to achieve.

These Converse or these Vans depending on which style you like better. These are going to be your most versatile shoes for "every day" wear.

Assorted Crew or V-Neck Tees, depending on your preference

A good fitting pair of dark jeans, I linked 511's, but those may not suit you depending on your build. Try some pairs on, take pictures, and post them in the Outfit Feedback threads if you're not sure of the fit.


For dressing "up":

Two pairs of well fitting khaki's/chinos in different colors such as these in grey or these in khaki. Again, I linked slimmer fits, as that is what I wear, but you may need to change depending on body type. Posting in the feedback threads is encouraged.

One or two decent Oxford Cloth Button Down collared shirts that fit you well, in light blue and white.

Those should cover your bases as a freshman, as you're not likely going to have to dress super formal.

Note: Because you're just a freshman, you will most likely be hitting many random growth spurts. Try not to spend too much money on clothing, as you will likely outgrow it.

I've been thinking about picking up this based on something I read on SUFU. Has anyone tried it? I was wondering how it compares to american crew fiber, since that seems to be the standard.

u/fineday · 4 pointsr/malefashionadvice

Gatsby works pretty damn well.

u/babiesloveboobies · 4 pointsr/malefashionadvice

I find that it gives my hair an oily appearance. My favorite is this asian stuff called Gatsby.

I use a fairly small amount and it just gives my hair a little bit of shape without looking like there's anything in it.

u/super_uninteresting · 3 pointsr/malefashionadvice

I use Gatsby Moving Rubber. I apply a dab of yellow, spread it over my hands, and stroke my fingers through my hair and try to reach every area. The yellow lasts an entire day, and holds bunches of hair in the right place.

After that, I apply some [pink Gatsby] (http://www.amazon.com/MANDOM-GATSBY-MOVING-RUBBER-SPYKY/dp/B000V2ACH8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1347054673&sr=8-1&keywords=pink+gatsby) to do the details. It's really good at holding smaller bunches of hair, so I use it on the front and on the sides to keep my sideburns from sticking out in awkward directions.

It also helps to shower and blow dry in the morning. I shower every day, but I rarely use shampoo. 2 applications of conditioner seems to do the trick--it keeps my hair nice and soft and shiny all the time.

u/arsenicelite · 3 pointsr/rawdenim

Haven't seen it mentioned yet, but I use Gatsby (either the pink or the grey one). It's a japanese hair product, basically its wax/paste that has a fruity apple scent.

There's a variety of colors that correspond to specific style/length (chart) with each having unique attributes (graphic here). Both the pink and the grey provide stronger holding power with little to no shine, ideally for "shorter" hair.

Links: Pink (Spiky Edge) and Grey (Grunge Mat).

u/[deleted] · 3 pointsr/wicked_edge

I'm partial to Gatsby.

u/Itistacotime · 2 pointsr/malehairadvice

Do what asians with asian fro do. bring in the sides and let the top grow a bit, blow dry with a comb or brush in the direction you want it to go, and style with Gatsby.

u/sleep_optional · 2 pointsr/malefashionadvice

I'm asian and I use Gatsby moving rubber to style my hair in the morning. I'd say its been the best stuff I've used so far and makes your hair smell like green apples

u/There-Wolf · 2 pointsr/AskWomen

Everyone has already given you some excellent tips so I'll recommend some good products. First gatsby hair products are a must for short hair. They're japanese, but you can buy them on Amazon no problem. I use this one and I love it. I also recently switched over to using a cleansing conditioner instead of shampoo and conditioner. It keeps my hair soft, healthy, and clean. I use herbal essence naked cleansing conditioner.

u/CTRL_ALT_PWN · 2 pointsr/frugalmalefashion

There is a Japanese brand called Gatsby. That is also very good. The pink and the grey are the most popular, followed by the green I think.

u/Arcs_Of_A_Jar · 2 pointsr/malefashionadvice

Are you by any chance Asian? Even if you're not, I use Gatsby Moving Rubber for my hair shaping needs. I actually have the exact same problem you do, with a really annoying whorl right on the back corner of my head. This stuff is tough enough to fluff up parts of your hair that aren't in shape and flatten whatever needs to be.

Bear in mind, however, it was specifically designed for use by people with east-Asian hair, which is known to be coarse and difficult to work with. It may end up being overpowering for any softer hair.

u/Ridflea · 2 pointsr/malefashionadvice

I currently use Gatsby moving rubber and like it a lot. It has good hold and not a lot of shine.
I sometimes use Murray's pomade which has better hold, but is a little shinier and a lot harder to wash out.

u/AffablyAmiableAnimal · 2 pointsr/malehairadvice

Do you mean you want it to look like you have no product in your hair? If so, look into waxes and clays. A good, cheap wax to make your hair look natural with no product would be Gatsby Spiky Edge aka. Gatsby Pink. Gatsby Gray Mat is even more matte, but doesn't have as much hold. Hairbond Shaper Hair Toffee has similar properties to Gatsby Pink, but is a little better in some regards and is more expensive. All these products are very popular and have reviews and videos online, so research them to see if you like them.

Also, you should try hairdrying/blowdrying your hair before applying any product with a comb or fingers to get the general style you want, then use product to get it to hold that style. You'll notice it helps a lot.

u/peter_n · 2 pointsr/AsianMasculinity

The first thing to know is that there isn't really anything over the counter that is going to combat thinning hair. So don't fall for any "hacks" or "home remedies" to thicken hair. If you're concerned about your hair thinning/possibly balding, I recommend seeing a trichologist (head and scalp doctor). They can figure out why your hair is thinning.

One of the most important things you can do is not wash your hair so often. Shampooing too often strips your hair of natural oils, making it weaker. While washing often doesn't make your hair thin faster, it's a good practice for anyone (thin hair or not)

My first recommendation is to stop washing your hair with any type of shampoo and see how long it takes before it gets really oily. You'll know when your hair starts to feel greasy, kinda heavy, your head gets a little warm.

Then make a note of how long that is (say it's 4 days), and start washing your hair every 4 days with a light shampoo that doesn't have harsh chemicals, like this one. Most people use way too much shampoo. You want to squeeze about an amount of a quarter.

Then use lighter hair products. Since your hair is thin, it doesn't have the structure to support heavy products. My favorite products are Sumo tech and Gatsby Moving Rubber. Always use a little (dime size) amount and work it into your hair. If you need more, do it 1 or 2 more times. This is to evenly distribute the product vs going in for a big clump on the first shot.

u/helloadrien · 1 pointr/RandomActsofMakeup

I really like to use Gatsby Hair Wax, it tames my frizz, but your mileage may vary.

The colors have different holds. I like the orange and pink.

u/thepoene · 1 pointr/malehairadvice

Hey buddy, fellow Asian guy here.

For volumizing product, I use Gatsby. http://www.amazon.com/GATSBY-MOVING-RUBBER-SPIKY-2-8oz/dp/B000V2ACH8/ref=sr_1_1?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1383050870&sr=1-1.

If I know it's going to be a long day I finish the style with a short spritz of low hold strength hairspray. The overall result is a strong hold without the sheen of a styling gel.

u/Quolli · 1 pointr/SkincareAddiction

Did you know you can just Google ingredient lists?

Here is the list of Pink Gatsby ingredients: WATER, EUPHORBIA CERIFERA (CANDELILLA) WAX, ETHYLHEXYL PALMITATE, PARAFFIN, CYCLOPENTASILOXNE, CETETH-20, MINERAL OIL, MICROCRYSTALLINE WAX, SORBITAN STEARATE, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, ALCOHOL, STEARIC ACID, STEARYL ALCOHOL, PPG-10 SORBITOL, TRIETHANOLAMINE, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, DIMETHICONE, CARBOMER, FRAGRANCE, PEG-90M, PANTHENOL, POLYQUATERNIUM-11, RED 33(CI 17200).

Courtesy of Amazon.

The only ingredient that I would be wary about is the ehtylhexyl palmitate (third ingredient) since it can potentially cause breakouts. Wouldn't think too much of it though unless you get a whole goop on your face.

u/sofortune · 1 pointr/malehairadvice

For gatsby, are you referring to this one: http://www.amazon.com/GATSBY-MOVING-RUBBER-SPIKY-2-8oz/dp/B000V2ACH8Lo

Looks like at least a couple votes for Fuko Claymation.

u/Sc3ptorrr · 1 pointr/malefashionadvice

I'd suggest Gatsby (pink container). It's strong enough for me to easily mold my straight Asian hair!

u/blackandyellownut · 1 pointr/frugalmalefashion

Both products, Perfect Hold and Spiky Edge, don't make your hair rock-hard so they won't leave any white solidified flake. You can even re-style your hair after awhile you first apply them- this may make you think that these waxes are not strong but they really are(especially the spiky edge). It's hard to describe their texture so see this video FYI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UH6SUHBIy9c

​

Moving Rubber Spiky Edge is definitely on the strong side of holding. If strong hold is your priority, I'd say try Spiky Edge first. If you want natural style and yet strong hold for a day, I recommend style with wax/cream first and finish with spray.

Where you can buy:

Asian hair notoriously suffers from the same problem. Try this:

http://www.amazon.com/MANDOM-GATSBY-MOVING-RUBBER-SPYKY/dp/B000V2ACH8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1330927117&sr=8-1

Don't pay too much attention to the wild anime-esque hairstyle this product endorses. It can (and should) be used for traditional hairstyles as well. It's worked very well for me as a guy with thick, cowlicked hair.

u/11ez11 · 1 pointr/NoStupidQuestions

I use one index finger worth of this gatsby, spread it between the length of my index/middle finger tip and lightly run those 4 fingers (2 on each hand) over my head. I think this is a tiny amount, at the rate I go I could probably do a few years with 1 purchase. I don't touch my scalp at all but by the end of the day though my scalp feels like it's had product through it and I feel horrible if I go to sleep with it. If I shampoo it out, the scalp feels like the product combined with the water to sink into the scalp which is why I'm questioning if there's something I'm doing wrong. Because of this I rarely style my hair (once a month if not at all).

Your reminder that the hair past the follicle being dead does make me feel better though if my hair is styled, the scalp is noticeably uncomfortable at the end of the day. Do you wash your hair everyday (with shampoo) to get the product out? What does your day to day look like? I should probably visit a dermatologist too but that last one I saw was a waste of time as he didn't do anything just repeating that I'm fine

u/KThxBaiNao · 1 pointr/malehairadvice

This.

I personally use Pink Gatsby

http://www.amazon.com/GATSBY-MOVING-RUBBER-SPIKY-2-8oz/dp/B000V2ACH8

It's really strong, and you only need a tiny bit.

I have really thick and heavy hair and it works wonders for me.

u/wazzuper1 · 1 pointr/malehairadvice

So uh, no reply from OP yet. Anyways, here's the video of the Gatsby Pink I was talking about from Style06com on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSP9tmfViNw

You should check out more of his reviews to get a sense of what might work for you. Again, he says that he has finer hair and recommends that if you do have thicker hair, try to thin it out. Try investing in your own hair clipping kit too to maintain your hair in between cuts or to do it yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPw0mtnxBns

Additionally, the most helpful review on Amazon is a video which really sold me on to trying out Gatsby Pink. http://www.amazon.com/GATSBY-MOVING-RUBBER-SPIKY-2-8oz/dp/B000V2ACH8/ Unfortunately, it looks like this product is now an add-on item. I was able to get my with Prime shipping before. About the same price though, I think.

u/ChyloVG · 1 pointr/malefashionadvice

If it works well for you, I don't think you need to change. If you're open to experimenting, I use Gatsby Moving Rubber Spiky Edge. The Gatsby product line has different waxes depending on hair length, style, hold, and shine.
