New Hair Style

Alright, so I used to spike just my bangs, but I got mad bored of that, and so now I usually just put a bit of gel in my hair, mess it about and go, so my hair doesn't look as bad as it does when it's just normal.

But I've decided I'm going to aim for a Matt Bellamy (Muse) type look:

I'm just curious as to how I'd go about making my hair like his (He's the one in the middle by the way).

My hair is, or so I think, already quite similar to his, but I find that not long after I've got it up and set, it seems to die some. I almost need a stronger type of gel, except it leaves my hair rather hard.

I need something that will hold stronger than what I've got now, but also isn't going to make my hair go all hard.

Sorry if I'm a complete idiot at all this, I'm just an average guy who knows close to nothing about hair.

Thanks a ton, in advance :):)
