help me... thick hair... want delonge style

hi,
i need help, i want my hair to look similar to tom delonges, of previous, i have got part way there, it is grown to a reasonable length but im having a few problems i thought someone could help out with...

my hair is quite thick, and bushy and in order to achieve the effect im looking for, it requires a hell of a lot of hair gel and the one i us goes very hard (loreal gel'o) and obviously looks un-natural.

i was wondering if anybody had any tips that could help me to gain this effect without having to use so much gel. maybe it would help if my hair was a little thinner and more 'floppy'?

a few factors that i believe may affect my attempts to achieve the desired effect... i have my hair cut at home by a friends parent (untrained beginner) and also i use a cheap shampoo and no conditioner.

could anybody suggest anything that could help at all? will going to the hair dressers for a cut by a pro make a difference. is there a hair gel, or mousse or anything that could style the hair effectively, whilst remaining to look reasonably natural, or simply not going rock solid??

thanks

i personally have no idea how to help you, but maybe somebody like craribuzz could look at this picture and suggest some help??

you say your hair is thick?? any ideas claribuzz or anyone else??

oh so that is the delonge cut. LOL
that looks like a pretty easy style. i think that in the pics that guy uses some sort of high gloss fibregel. depending on you hairtexture, you might either need a hair iron or blow dry you hair str8 like that. you might considered some moistrizing shampoo if you hair is dry.
