My hair is medium length now. But unfortunately for me I have that wavey/curly hair type, bleh. So in order for me to keep it how I like it I have to take a shower all the time and then use gel on it.. which causes it to become hard, still, and slimey. And then eventually gel or not my hair goes from the straightness and all (about 7 or so hours afterwards), to what's seems like a flattened ball on my head. Not even a style -_-

This is what I have after I shower/gel (its 99% exact)... and how I want to get and keep it that way

So how to get that style and keep it that way?.. if its even possible...

Somebody told me to use a straightener, so I tried that... didnt work out and left me with beatles type hair... :cry:

Any ideas would be appreciated. Techniques/ products to use? Thanks

Ugh. Please refrain from using the gel. Go to your bathroom and throw it away. Right now. >.> When people use gel to the point where it gets hard and slimy looking it's absolutely disgusting. Pick up some other type of hair styling product, and do not apply it when your hair is just-out-of-the-shower wet.

My advice really, give up on getting that hair. Get some styling wax or something similar, put it in your hair and play with it. It'll probably end up looking better than what you have, or wanted.

Ehh, the gel isnt THAT bad to the point where it looks disgusting.. but I can't say im a fan of it. What other styling product would you suggest? And hmm ok I'll take a look into your styling wax suggestion.
