Step by Step
To spike your hair without gel, you'll need a few things:
- Hair wax or clay
- A hair dryer
- A comb
- Hairspray
Now, follow these steps:
- Start with dry hair. If your hair is wet, blow-dry it until it's completely dry.
- Take a small amount of hair wax or clay and rub it between your palms to warm it up.
- Apply the wax or clay to your hair, starting at the roots and working your way up to the tips. Make sure to distribute it evenly throughout your hair.
- Use a comb to create spikes. Start at the front of your hair and work your way back. Use the comb to lift the hair up and create spikes.
- Use a hair dryer on a low heat setting to help set the spikes. Hold the dryer about 6 inches away from your head and move it around to dry each spike.
- Once the spikes are dry, use hairspray to hold them in place. Hold the can about 8 inches away from your head and spray evenly over your hair.
Tips
Here are some tips to help you spike your hair without gel:
- Use a small amount of wax or clay to avoid weighing down your hair.
- Experiment with different types of wax or clay to find what works best for your hair type.
- Use a hair dryer with a concentrator nozzle to help direct the air flow and create more defined spikes.
- Don't be afraid to play around with the length of your hair. Longer hair can create more dramatic spikes.
FAQ
Can I spike my hair without any product?
While it is possible to create spikes without any product, using a hair wax or clay will help hold the spikes in place and create a more defined look.
How long will the spikes last?
The spikes should last all day with the help of hairspray. However, if you're doing any activities that may mess up your hair, you may need to touch it up throughout the day.
Hair Care
To keep your hair healthy while spiking it, make sure to use a good shampoo and conditioner that are appropriate for your hair type. Also, avoid using too much product as it can weigh down your hair and cause build-up. Finally, be gentle when combing or styling your hair to avoid damaging it.
