  See the hairstyle below which I've been trying to style for eons:
  
  
  If anyone can make a video of how to style until exactly like this, reply to this thread or PM me.
  payment will be by paypal and will be split into 2 parts:
  
  1st part (US$5): a video showing me your completed style
  
  2nd part (US$30): a video showing step-by-step instruction on how to style until like this
  
  the 1st part will be paid to you before you show me your video.
  the 2nd part will be paid after you show me your video.
  
  got this haircut last week but the problem now is i dunno how to style it properly.
  
  the bottom sharp points and behind i can manage.
  
  the sides i can more or less handle (using hands to brush sides to the back).
  
  it's the front, the top and the upper-sides that i'm having real problems with because the result looks like the long curvy rising tail of a rooster spreading it's tail for mating purposes.
  knn.
  
  by the way, i'm using Gatsby Moving Rubber hair wax (pink color one).
  
  serious topic, please.

  Not claiming to be an expert on hairstyling...but here is a tip i picked up form my stylist friends along the years..
  
  If you have an exact look that you would like to achieve, you will need a precise cut to acheive that look....and for that you will need to visit a hairstylist who is skilled in creating texture/lengths/face structure and understands your hair.
  
  Anyways, from just looking at the picture you provided, if you have wispy curly ends, you will need to blow dry (when hair is damp) str8. Perhaps even use a "leave in straightener" while blow drying....or even get a hairstylist to trim the ends to give it that razor edge look.
  
  I have the same problem you do....blowdrying it straight with a little wax already applied in solves the problem for me.

  don't use gatsby
  
  go ICON or chapter 2 and get their wax/clay
  
  then take 1 lump the size of a 5 cent coin, spread it over your palm..
  
  then stroke it on your hair, make it as messy as possible. make sure to apply to every part, repeat the process if needed..
  
  after your hair has all been spiked, take 1 more lump of 5 cent wax/clay then style the hair into the style you want..
  
  and you need a good hairstylist to cut your hair well, not those neighbourhood $10 kind
  
  and to top it up, go dye your hair brown and get your eyebrows plucked

  thanks so much, everyone!
  anyway, i found a video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKPMz186Zrw&mode=related&search=
  
  it's a quick video showing how to achieve almost the same kind of rugged, spiky look. problem is that the video is too fast and it's been cut at some parts, if you notice.
  the guy in the video style until like it's easy as ABC like that.
  
  actually, yesterday (sunday), i spend 2.5 freaking hours in front of the mirror to achieve the look in the picture....and at best, it's 85% similar.....maybe i need more practice...
  
  for those of you guys who know how to style this or already have this kinda hairstyle (or something very similar), the offer is still available.
  
  thanks,
  niikar.

  by the way, one more thing.
  i heard they say after you apply wax already and then use the hairdryer to blow it, what's the purpose?
  to make the wax dry? or to make the wax harder? or to make the wax more natural?
  
  also, the hair-dryer is it must turn to the max, or just the lowest? or middle?
  
  thanks a lot,
  nikar.

  its actually.. wash your hair before styling and use hair dryer to dry it.. so that your hair is 1 strand 1 strand, not bunched or sticked together that type yea?
  
  and read my post above..

  yes.. hairdryer gives more textured effect like this
  
  
  
  As you can see his hair is like in strand instead of bunch up esp if your hair is very fine like mine

  ok,.....tried styling my hair this morning trying to achieve a "tamer" version of what's in the photo....however, the experiment went haywired and now i end up with a hairstyle and accompanying effects which is more insane and much-better looking than the photo or my original goals.
  
  the effect also seems to be way better than hairdryer's and u can see each individual strand have their own motion and volume.
  
  what i did was to:
  
  1) apply moving rubber (the pink one) onto my hair and make it evenly everywhere
  
  2) use my hands to brush my hair from front to back, bottom to top, with the sides also brush back
  
  3) apparently, at this stage, the hairstyle looked fugly, so i gave up and went to bathroom to wash my hair with water and didn't use shampoo as there wasn't enough time and i was late for work
  
  4) use the towel to dry my hair
  
  5) look into the mirror and got shocked by the effect, which is something like water's motion combined with the power of the remaining wax
  
  6) simply press the sides a bit neater and the top a bit down
  
  7) spray a lot of super-hard hair-spray to lock-on the little amount of wax
  
  for the bottom part of my back's hair, i follow the style of the photo, together with sideburns.
  
  finished. u guys should try this too.
  i think it's harnessing the power of water to really define the very natural waves and now my hair looks like a neater version of Cloud's hairstyle in the Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children movie.

  after stage 3, you were supposed to start styling your hair, because at this point, wax has been evenly distributed about your hair
