i need to change it up a little so heres some pics the one on top is me and the one on the bottom is how i want my hair, i need to know how to get my hair like that, so if u could help me out id appreciate it.
If I had to guess, I'd say your hair was 1a? (I'm talking about the hair typing system)
His looks more like 1b, so it may have a little more natural volume and
it may be easier for his hair to do this than yours, but you can try
it.
I can't tell if your hair is layered on top, but you'd need the top to
have some shorter layers like you see on his. Don't get any cut
off of the length though, your length is perfect - so if you have it
cut at a salon you'll need to be very specific about not
wanting any off the length to make sure it doesn't end up too
short. To get it to have volume like that, put some gel in it,
especially on the roots and blow dry it hanging your head upside down
to help it stick up some. After its dry, brush it out, but
try to brush only the length of it, not the root area to keep that area
hard so it stays standing up a little. Then comb it forward and
pick at it (pull up the top pieces) to give it a messy
look. I'm not guaranteeing thats going to work if
your hair type is 1a, yours may just not want to keep any volume, but
you can try it and practice and see what you get to work.
The general idea is always the same, goop it up with gel, brush it out
after its dry, then move it where you want it. You can finish
with a coat of hairspray if necessary to keep it in place, but make
sure you do a light coat (spray a foot from your head, not too close)
so it doesn't get too hard to move and doesn't look wet.
