thick hair to spikey hair?.....

Thicker hair is kinda` hard to do anything with, but my brother has a problem very similar to yours and this is what works for him. I`m assuming that you would cut your hair fairly short on the sides and a little longer on top. Find a stylist that is fairly confident using a razor and have them really thin and texturize the top of your hair. Now you`ll probably have to find some really stiff products to make sure the style will stay when you try it out. Try a styling glue, ICE and Paul Mitchell have some really good ones out on the market. Work it through your hair while it`s still wet or damp and try to push the spikes in place while using a blow dryer, the lowest setting will be fine because if it`s too high it may blow your hair around too much. Kinda` finger style while it`s drying, but don`t run your hands trough it too much or you may break up the spikes and have it turn into a poofy mess. Hope that helps.
