I don't get my hair... it's short and bulky and never looks the way I want it. My usual routine is to wet it and then gel the front of my hair up. At the end of the day it looks a mess, to say the least. I don't understand what my problem is, is my hair just horrible or is it the hair cut. The person that cuts my hair doesn't use a scissor so my guess is that may be the problem that since he uses a trimmer it causes my hair to become bulky and unmanageable. My hair is naturally straight but theres alot of it, so what can I do to fix the problem I have?

My hair is like the same as this dude but how does he pull it off to get it to look like this

gel & a comb?

you could get it thinned out so it's more managable, but if it's really thick then maybe growing it a little longer could help.

Well it's not really thick but it's annoying. Was my technique of wetting it first and then applying gel wrong? I dunno why it doesn't last the whole day, is that just how it is?

My hair does not look good on me long. So I'll just keep it short and try a different gel or something.

Also in the front where I gel it sometimes you can see my scalp and I don't like that at all. Maybe it's because it's wet or too much gel or something?

Don't wet it first. And maybe try some other products.
