Johnny Depp - Or is it Dep?

Filed under: Hair Care, Celebrities with Style, Beauty Tips, Hair Cut and Style

If there's anything we love, it's a man who knows his hair product. Add in dreamboat handsome and creative genius, and who do you have? Johnny Depp.

Depp is in steamy Puerto Rico filming a new flick called The Rum Diary, based on the novel by Hunter S. Thompson and set in the 1950s (above, left). His naturally thick and wavy hair was reacting to the humidity in a big, bad way, refusing to stay slicked back like the hair folks wanted.

According to Star Magazine, the on-set stylist was on the verge of a nervous breakdown ("Nothing could control his hair," said a source) when Johnny saved the day. He suggested a hairstyling blast from the past trick he learned from his 1990 film, Cry-Baby (above, right). A healthy dollop of Dep gel with a thick coating of Aqua Net hairspray on top. (You know, exactly what you used to score bangs like Paula Abdul in Opposites Attract ). After employing Johnny's secret styling sauce, the show could go on.

Speaking of frizz tips, we have a good friend who swears by Lubriderm when she has to tame steamy summer hair disasters. And we've heard Kiehl's Ultra Facial Moisturizer works wonders too. Share your secret hair control potions in the comments section in case there are more de-tress signals from The Rum Diary set.

C'mon, do it for Johnny...
