Trying to achieve a Faux-Hawk...?

Whenever I try to style this, the spiky part in the middle always has a curve at the end and wont really stay put, I use gel. Is there anything better out there I can use for this hairstyle? Also, could it be because my hair is a little too long? When length of hair is recommended... because my hair is kinda like medium length (not really short), thanks

It probably is due to a couple of factors.

1. The gel isn't strong enough.

2. The hair is too long, and may even need thinned out.

3. You have a natural cowlick or wave to your hair.

At any rate start with this product. Then try a trim and having it thinned out a bit.

cut your hair a little shorter and then use bedhead products. like wax and glue and wax spray!!

you can try braids if your hair is long enough. or pony tail style like Sanjaya did. otherwise buy a wig

also. the whole head doesnt have to be the faux-hawk. why not only do the front, it will still look hot

I agree...you should cut your hair a little shorter. The longer the hair, the heavier it is so it falls and curls. I don't know the brand names but I found that hair wax and some mousses work better than most gels.

Hold up the hair you want standing up- spray it with hair spray, then blow dry the section you sprayed.

You have to kin of do it section-by-section if you do it like this.

I have long hair and i have this hair style, my advice is straighten it, then use a wax on it. My hair is already naturally straight but straightening it again gives it that razors edge look. I'im from Australia and i use instant Rockstar Hard Rock wax.
