what are good products to use that are really really strong hold? I have like a foot and a half of hair and I want to put it in a faux hawk for halloween. I was thinking like after my shower cover it with gel and try to like point it in an up directon and then blow dry it with a round brush and then spray it with hairspray and then maybe straighten it or something cuz i have naturally curly hair but idk if that would work.. I REALLY wanna do this so please give me advice.. and i know its short notice but oh well.
Additional info, added Friday October 30 2009, 9:19 pm: oh and also is this gonna like destroy my hair? I usually dont put any spray or gel in it and i dont use heat products on it and i take really good care of it so it should be fine right? I'm trying to grow it out but I hope just one night won't do any damage :-/
My friend dressed up for Halloween one evening and we left to go to a dance at the college. She doesn't have super long hair but she is a girl so it isn't super short or anything. She ended up letting me know that she used the Got 2 B Glued hair products to get her hair spikey and to make it spikey. Specifically, she gelled it first with:
It stayed up all night long with no problems. She said it took awhile to get the spiking right but it worked. She was able to drive decently in the car but she said it was pretty uncomfortable. The spiked hair didn't really "give" much so she was crushing them into her scalp. For this reason, I would suggest trying to do the hair once you get to the location or having someone else drive so you can lean over in the car and not smoosh the do! DO NOT try to drive with your head sideways, as it could be dangerous for you and for the other vehicles on the road! We don't see as well with our heads tilted ;)
For note, your hair isn't going to be damaged if you don't do this a lot. If you do this every day, or even every other day, you will notice a lot of damaging happening. Once or twice a month shouldn't hurt the hair follicles as long as you are taking care of it and conditioning it properly.
So, sorry about the VERY late answer but hopefully it will help if you have another day you'd like to do this or maybe for next Halloween. It's VERY doable if you take the time to work with your hair. I assume it's a pretty lengthy process but I assure you that it can be done! [ Peeps's advice column | Ask Peeps A Question ]
