I have thick, curly hair that is difficult to style and maintain..however..I can somehow get through with it. I want to spike it. I refuse to put in relaxer - although I do have Curl-Away from Xenna..I have seen others with spiked hair, so I would love to attemp to get it. I've tried styling gel, but it's failed miserably...as I expected. However, when I blow it out..it may, perhaps, be possible. Is there anyone I can go to or anything to use that will give me spikes that will look half decent? Thanks, The Airknight

try GOOD Earth's vitamin e oil. It's not an oil but a gel which works wonders on wet hair, so you can have the wash and go look. ------------- |

Hmmm..well, I'm a male, but anyway..that's irrelevant right now. Onto the question you asked.. It's about 3 inches I'd say. |

| Did you try looking in a health food store. They may have something like that. Do you use conditioner after you shampoo? Try that out it keeps moisture in hair. |

Well, I've looked in the local Health food stores before for hair products, but I didn't see that oil. Yes, I do condition after shampooing.. ..thanks for the help, cmesweet! ------------- |

Well, thanks, heh..I have a very diverse background..I think that most people do, it just may be unknown to them. But I'm still trying..I'll try blow-drying it and putting on the instant-hardening gel..Thanks :). I bought a flat iron, but it's relatively weak, and it only straightened a few strands.. ------------- |
