thanks, I've actually had some luck (not exactly the same look), with using a hard gel while my hair is wet, and combing it kind of straight and to the front/side. Then when it dries I just mess it up a bit or use a bit of pommade so it doesn't look like "straw"

you need to blowdry all your hair forward, and dont put ANY thing in it untill it is dry, then since you have thin hair you need to use a MAT pomade, I would try to get one thats not too creamy, more pasty, and DONT use too much!
after you put that in all over kinda move it side to side to see how it would look best....you may need too flat iron the front or use a padle brush while drying.
Im not a fan of gel, but I love wax/paste. Messing up my hair with it adds a lot of volume, then it can be shaped/reshaped afterwards. I used a basic drugstore brand (pantene sculpting wax), works awesome.
Thanks guys! I just discovered Axe Messy Paste too, it's not for the 'Pink' look above of course - but it's kind of fun too. In fact, probably the quickest hair style ever lol.
Re: Pomade: is this only for DRY hair? Or can it also be used on damp hair like wax/paste ?
I recently cut my hair short, so I'm not used to styling it at all (lol)
This last cut I had the hair stylist cut my hair so it would support this look. But I can't get the hair to look the same or even close.
My hair either looks like "straw/wirey hair" or else if I try too hard it
then gets dry looking and kind of bushy. Her hair looks so smooth, yet piecey.
I'm not really good at blow drying a style, and I'm not
honestly sure if a blowdryer is needed here or if this is shaped from
wet hair?
My hair is naturally wavy. So I have been using a really
strong gel if I style my hair wet. Otherwise I blow dry it kind of
straight and then use a ceramic flat iron to straighten it.
The strongest Gel I have found is REALLY strong and sticky.. , the other gels just don't help at all.
If I straighten it dry, then I've used spiking paste to piece
it a bit but it always looks dry ( I don't mean dry as in not-wet, I
mean dry looking, very little shine)
What do you think Pink's stylist uses on her hair to be
able to shape it like that, have it look piecey, and yet shiny and not
dry or wild?
Any specific brands of products I should consider?
Should I first blow dry it straight and work it or do something
from wet (my hair is easier to manage wet, but I have to be careful
about it getting too wavy on me since I'm not naturally straight)
. When I've used gel I usually get it as close as I can then use a cool dryer to dry it.
