Let it air dry for a spiky textured or messy bedhead finish. Or you can also use gel to get spikes or the slick look. After applying the gel, comb hair into place. At the front, use the comb and fingers if necessary to get some height.

Compared to waxes, pomades, and other hair products, you will use more gel. However, it’s much cheaper.
