that spiked hair look

[ffknight84]

i dont know what kind of hair you have right now, but if it is relatively short, let it grow some and just pick up some paste/pomade and run it through and spike it up. thats about it.

Crew Gel or Crew Pomade both work great. Damp hair a bit and then apply the gel or pomade....gives shinny look when dried.

I have the spiky messy look. Chix dig it. Put a straightner on it,, it helps it stay up. I use wax or ice paste.
I'll see if I can get a pic.

the hair cut your looking for is a taper with a blow out make the sides a one and the taper a low taper ITS A YOUNGER NEW YORK THING...... I CANT STAND IT

dying the tips is very 2 yrs ago... don't use pomade, use a hard wax with very low shine. I like "molding clay" from Nolita. Also, control maniac from SexyHair products works well but has a bit more shine to it.

Spikey hair look

Tell your barber to use the clippers on the bottom side of your hair and start off with nothing less than a #3. Anything shorter than that is not going to look good with that style cut. Once he has cut the bottom side tell him to blend in the sides to the top, but leave enough hair on the sides to be able to start spikes. You should also tell him to razor cut the top or your hair. (he will know what you are talking about) If he doesn't know, then you need to get another barber. The razor cut will leave a texture in your hair that will allow it to spike really well. Then go and get you a tube of "Ice Spiker" it is made by a company called Joico. It is the best shit on the market right now for spikey hair.

Peace
