To create a style such as this requires patience and plenty of heavy hold spray or gels. Hair that is straight and fairly coarse will work better with this arrangement than baby fine strand, or curly tresses. Even though a significant amount of styling product will be required, it is better to start with clean and dry hair.

You will need medium to long length hair. The strands should be about four to five inches long. They can be even longer in front of the ears on the side. The overall look of the design is a very spiky arrangement. When creating the final look, it is important to twist the tips of the strands into a point, while leaving the parts closer to the scalp full.

The tips are arranged in front and just behind the ears. The long spikes are brought forward in front of the face. Once the front and the sides of each block of strands is stiffened and twisted into place, the wearer should part of the top hair and begin the process of stiffening each section.

Twist the tips and spray a setting gel on each approximately 2 inch section, pulling it up and away from the scalp. You should work from the part upward, with the spikes becoming more upright as you move higher on the head.

    • It can work, but I recommend getting a hair straightener. If your hair isn’t too wavy, you might get away without needing it, but it will be easier to spike. Blow-drying your hair directly after you hairspray it will also help the spikes maintain their shape longer.
