gavin rossdale hair (for a guy :o))

i really want hair like gavin rossdale (you know, the guy from bush the band), but my hair is really thick. it is curly like his, but when i grow it out, it goes into this kinda big poofy thing. how can i get it to look good when i am growing it out (cause it is kind of short right now)? and when it is long, how can i get it down and how can i get it to look like his? thanks.
