Who knows a good technique or method to spike your hair?

I know the technique where u put gel onto your hands and you just comb your hair back with your hands, but that doesn't work for me. It leaves some areas spiky and other areas not spiky. Sometimes some areas don't stand straight up. I tried combing my hair back gently but it doesn't work too well either. Who knows a better method or technique for spiking your hair and making it look nice from the front, sides, and the back of your head?



Who knows a good technique or method to spike your hair?

I would suggest putting gel in it, but instead of combing it back with your hands, move your hands through it kind of wildly, then gently pull the parts of your hair up-ish to make it spike.



Who knows a good technique or method to spike your hair?

If you don't get any good answers, let me know; I'll ask one of my friends.



Who knows a good technique or method to spike your hair?

dude use wax!!!!!!! well hair wax and just put some in your hands and have fun with it!!!



Who knows a good technique or method to spike your hair?

Right i know exactly what your saying as i used to spike my hair for a number of years. Firstly you have to find the right styling product not just the first one you come across. If its not standing up enough you need a stronger product. For you i would reccomend+++ WAX. Ditch the gel, go for wax!



Firstly before styling you either need to wash your hair or just pour a bottle of cold water on it or somthing to loosen it up and make it more managable.



**ALWAYS AFTER WASHING APPLY A CONDITIONER FOR MORE MANAGABLE HAIR**



After wetting take awayexcess water using a towel. Now massage quickly in your hands the wax. Apply over head. Seperate the parts of the hair that you want to define and make them stand up. Do you want a wet look, or spiky dry look. If you want a wet look just stop there. If yuo want a dry spiking look you need to slowly blow dry the hair to melt the product into the hair and freeze the style in place but cool bursting the hair. Whether you choose wet or dry look after styling make sure that you use some type of hairspray or freezing spray to hold the style in place, use a little more in the area that you find lay down after styling. This should complete your look and should set you up for the day.

Personally on the information you have provided im going to reccomend you a product, if you choose not to get it then make sure you get a strong one but an easy wash out on as strong waxes tend to take many washes to wash out. I would reccomend redken but i cant find a review.Heres what i would reccomend+++ Fudge Hair Shaper.

篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓藴"掳潞鈥③濃€?The History of Fudge 鈥③濃€⒙郝?quot;藴篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓



Originating in Australia somewhere in the northern beaches of Sydney, Fudge is the leading product brand of the Sabre Group. Sabre itself is an American company dealing with distribution of salon accessories.



In 1991, the Sabre Group developed and launched Fudge 'Shaper', a sticky styling clay that was unique to the market in Australia. Specifically marketed to young, teenage boys, the launch of Shaper was timely with the growth of men's grooming products becoming more evident in the 1990's.



Fudge was available for use in UK salons from 1994 and the internet from 1999.



They say,



"Fudge is for those who like to be鈥ell. Just a little different. Progressive. Unpredictable and confident enough to express their individuality." 鈥?nice鈥?

~o0o~ The History of My Fudge ~o0o~



Alongside many other people, I am on the mission to find the perfect hair product鈥ith little success!



I have tried many different brands and qualities and although they all promise the world, they only tend to be good in their own, specific situation. After changing to an exclusive hairdresser this summer (since I started earning money!), I discovered the Fudge Hair range.



One day, whilst having my mop cut and styled, I discussed the dilemma I had with hair products to my hairdresser (she is a very kind, tolerant lady!) with the aim to obtain some professional knowledge. She showed me several different brands and explained the advantages of each product, but declared that each has their own specialty and should be chosen with that in mind. Some sound advice鈥o after some time thinking about my new super cool hair mop, I decided to try a pot of Fudge "Shaper". Why? Well, with the image of being a strong, easy to use product, I assumed that it would be good in most situations, right?



Just to let you know, I have been using this product for a good half year now (on and off) and I am still on the same tub.



篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓藴"掳潞鈥③濃€?Packaging 鈥③濃€⒙郝?quot;藴篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓



To be truthful, it is not easy to miss any of the Fudge Hair products since the year 2000, when they introduced an orange and grey colour scheme! The distinctive shape of each container within the Fudge Hair range ensures each product is recognisable without any difficulty.



The 'Shaper' pot sits about 80mm high, with a narrow base that expands out toward the vivid lid. This allows the use of a decent size lid for easy, welcoming access to the sticky creation within! I feel the packaging is well formed and individual, making it eye-catching and easy to hold. It sits well in the palm of a hand, or on a surface.



I've dropped mine all over the place and as you would expect, nothing has happened to it.



篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓藴"掳潞鈥③濃€?Price and availability 鈥③濃€⒙郝?quot;藴篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓



As said in the history section, this product is only available in salons. This is a crafty marketing plan for the Fudge brand, the objective, to become an exclusive, high quality product with a designer street edge. Great鈥ou know what you are buying is a quality product鈥he only problem is the variety of prices that people can charge.



So true to form, I did a little price research. Feeling a little bemused at the salon charging a whopping 拢12 a pot for the sticky cr猫me, I was sure I could find it cheaper. With an idea of the price I was expected to pay I turned my efforts to splashing around on the internet! I was pleased to find the majority of prices were approximately 拢8.50, however with the addition of P+P this increased to around 拢10.



Although I am not a regular user, I found the best price to be on eBay from a market seller. I was charged 拢8.50 with free P+P saving a good 拢3-4!...excellent!...



The product arrived very quickly, within 3 days so I was able to use it that week!



The Hair Shaper is available in both 25g/0.88oz and 100g/3.5oz tubs. The costs mentioned above relate to a 100g pot.



篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓藴"掳潞鈥③濃€?How to use 鈥③濃€⒙郝?quot;藴篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓



As soon as you get it, I would recommend twisting off the bright orange lid and taking a good strong sniff鈥hhh, sweet, sweet caramel! I'm not sure how good this is for you, so don't do it too often. You will probably want to sit down for a while after, but as soon as you are ready, delve right in. This stuff is pretty sticky and stretches like a good mozzarella cheese, so be careful!



~o0o~ Now, this is important! ~o0o~



From experience, I would suggest that you only use a small amount! I have found that if you use too much at one time, it does not work well and makes your hair rough. It helps to apply the cr猫me with your fingertips, as this restricts the amount you use and gives a more even spread when rubbing through your hair. REMEMBER, this product produces a matte look, so if it is starting to look wet, you may have used too much!



Apply Hair Shaper to hands, rub thoroughly and distribute evenly through the hair and style.



篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓藴"掳潞鈥③濃€?Longevity 鈥③濃€⒙郝?quot;藴篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓



When used on dry hair this stuff really does hold! Once again be careful with how much you use, as if you use to much, it makes your hair heavy. It generally lasts all day and allows a little bit of re-moulding, although I find it dries out somewhat if you do this too much.



The product is also relatively easy to wash out, which I would recommend you do. I have found, like most products, it dries out my hair a little when left in over night, although it does give a very effective "out of bed" look in the morning!



篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓藴"掳潞鈥③濃€?Taste 鈥③濃€⒙郝?quot;藴篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓



Now, I don't recommend this, but I thought for the purpose of the review, it was essential to cover every possible feature of the product! The caramel smell and smooth texture make the paste very tempting and hard to resist鈥ut alas, it does not taste like caramel鈥his maybe due to the lack of caramel ingredients.



I would have to say, stick to using it as a hair care product rather than a food鈥ven if you are starving I would recommend you avoid consumption and would suggest possibly selling it to buy something more substantial鈥ike a Caramac!



~o0o~ Pros ~o0o~



鈥?Smells great



鈥?Strong hold



鈥?Slight re-moulding ability



鈥?Easy to wash out



~o0o~ Cons ~o0o~



鈥?Very sticky on your hands



鈥?Can leave you with the feeling of dried out hair



篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓藴"掳潞鈥③濃€?Opinion 鈥③濃€⒙郝?quot;藴篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓篓



I have realised that, although there are many products out there, you really have to mix and match what you use to the type of hair you have at the time. Obviously hair types vary greatly anyway, so this review is only truly suitable for people with thick, heavy hair like mine.



I have found my hair has really taken to this fudge. This product works superbly when my hair is short to medium length, however it struggles when longer. Then again, it does still work when used on a longer length hair, but I find you have to start putting more and more of the product in your hair to get an effect which ruins the texture and quality of your hair.



All that said I am still on the search for the perfect hair product. Although very close, there is something about this product that I do not quite get on with. Maybe it is just because I do not use it quite as I should or because I like moaning, but whatever the case, I would still have to recommend this product to anyone looking for a decent hair shaper. You won't be let down.
