How can I style my hair?

How can a guy style his hair?

• I'm 18 and I have natural curly/wavy hair. My hair likes to grow really long and it likes to look frizzy but not too frizzy, I just have little pieces of hair sticking up everytime I brush it. If I wanted to style my hair, What kind of gel should I use? I need a gel that will actually help me spike it and keep it down. I don't want that gel that will make your hair shine, etc. And what kind of straightener should I use or should I use a flat iron? I am wanting to go to a anime convention when ever I get a chance and I'm wanting to style my hair with out having to buy a wig etc. And I'm wanting to style my hair because that's just me. Any help would be appreciated.

• Answer:

  Well if you are not wanting it curly you will prolly have to straighten it... just buy a straightener at walmart...they're all pretty much the same i mean everyone makes a big deal about like the Chi ones or whatever but they all do the same thing right? *the gel thing is a big toss up. i dont like gel i like the putty but if your wanting the anime style the gel would probably be better...the gel with dry out your hair, but not a ton just a little warning ;) the kind of gel that i would get would be like a Garnier brand or Pantene...those are good brands * i think its awesome when guys actually want to style their hair, its more fun =D *hope you have fun at that convention!
