Thread: Tell me how to get rid of a comb over...

And I don't have a hair stylist...I just went to different places to get my hair done.

Edit: I tried to spike my hair today, I took a shower, dried my hair off a little with a towel, got my gel, rubbed it in my hair then took a comb and hair dryer and it turned out like crap. It didn't look spiked at all...

I don't have a picture of my hair, but it looks pretty flat except if I blow dry and comb it, then it stands up and is kind of big.

I want something that looks sort of "punk" without overdoing it.

That hairstyle seems to be the easiest for me to accomplish (when I have shorter hair)...
It's not hard to spike, work from the roots if you want it long lasting.
I forgot about straightening too, as Adam suggested, that would remove a comb over.

Then simple gel, I would say (if your hair is the right length). Light hair spray also if you don't want to turn your hair into glass, while also having it last 10 hours with people maybe prodding here and there.

Unless you want to get all scene-kid style (Japanese influencededede) then it's as easy as asking to be able to spike it up at the hair dressers (if you don't already have the length). They will cut it nicely (hopefully) and probably be stingy on the hair product they use on you afterwards, which can be fixed with a high pitched whine.

To be honest though, I am over simple spikes. Reminds me very much of wog kids with ponytail mullets, unless of course it's uber stylish and with varied length in certain places.

Here lies your problem, try using a putty, or a paste rather than gel. I find gel to be too wet look and can be hard for spiking your hair. I would look into a matt paste or something similar and give that a shot, have a lot better hold on your hair

I sometimes find gel hard to work with too...

Should I use something like Moose or whatever? I'm pretty sure I have something like that laying around...
