Have never used hair gel or spray. The twenty minutes required to figure out the related application basics are temporal units which have not been negotiated (by me). I prefer showering before going to sleep at night and then waiting to see what kind of bed head I wake up with the next day. The most prominent bed heads don't have to be washed out with a torrential spray of lukewarm bathwater, as if a divinity has taken note of my lackadaisical plan and consequently denoted that occasionally the following day will be filled with prosperity, creating a resplendent analytical fashion statement which is unique for the corresponding time period.
