I've been obsessed with Nick Valeni's (Strokes guitarist) hair circa 2003 for some time now.
I've grown my hair out and am trying to get something close to any of these looks of his:

My hair is wavy and coarse, it's very thick. It's nearly impossible
to control (it always curls up at the ends when it gets longer), but
when I can control it, it looks great. What I want to know is,
A.How should I get my hair cut to make it look similar to that (and
it to make easier to control and style, etc.). The barbers/salons
around where I live aren't amazing, so I'd want to give them specific
instructions so they don't just give me a generic "in" cut or something.
B.What does it look like he uses for either of those? Wax, mousse, etc.
C.In general, what can I use to control my type of wild, wavy,
coarse hair?
I know I said a mouthful, but if anyone can answer any of those, I'd appreciate it.
