So, my hair naturally combs over. It's really hard for me to spike my hair or really do anything with it...

I ask of you, what are some ways to get rid of a comb over permanently?

Also, I always seem to have issues spiking my hair. When I get it done at a professional, they can make it look how I want, but I can't. I know there are some people who are able to get the style they want, but what are some techniques to use that would get the style I want?
