He's 12 and has had a mohawk cut for a year now- about 2 - 3 inches long depending on the last barbers visit. the sides are a number 1 cut! his hair is actually curly if you leave it alone. we can get it strait using straighteners and can get it to stick up using various gels/waxes/hairspray etc but it never stays up long!! any suggestions of best products - or ideas would be fab! relying on your experience!

Easy look for a product called
Ice Spiker
http://www.salonlines.co.uk/forwomen/?category_id=338&p=1
Wash hair, dry hair, use this like gell. Hair goes up, in an hour hard as rock. Splash resistant. perfect for punk cuts. If separated by a pin tail comb
http://www.ukhairdressers.com/store/details.asp?ID=forfex691049
The one on the left with wore handle (for parting hair)
If separated and twisted into spikes... If the kid jumpes into a swim pool, underwater and gets out (once its dried first) and does not touch them... it should stay up.
yet will wash out easy with shampoo and when wet rubbed with no residue.
And regualr hair colour if boring...
Try Stargazer hairspray
http://www.stargazer-products.com/store.php?store=neon&product_id=86
four unltrviolet flourescent colours...
Ie glows in the dark under UV light (just dont spray on befor a Quasar/lasertag game kinda gives your position away)
Or hows this... get the stargazer hair gell (its crap as regular gel)
Stick it in a pippette bottle
Small squeezy lone skinniy poity top with tiny hole in top
Use like a pen to produce neon sign like effests like glow lines between the spikes.
Or glow writting down arms or say skull and cross bones that glows in the dark...
As he gets older try this... Polomints on the spikes... rules are the girls can take a sweet only no hands... Guess where his head will be?
or if the boy gets good at the art... Then girls may want him to 'temporary tattoo them. Good girls get hearts and flowers... bad girls (ie those flirting with him that he likes) naughtier cheekier artwork.
In a few years time say when 16.
Both party tricks go down well as ice breakers. If he can do them in a naughty but nice cheeky manner.
Tigi bead head also helps for spikes but you need to use a bit more as dries too quick then its like ouuuuch

Ha!My boyfriend and I had the same problem at New Year.We were going to fancy dress party and he was being Dennis the Menace.Trying to get his hair to stand up was a nightmare so we discovered that wood glue is good to use(but apparantly it takes two odd weeks to wash out properly).
Try looking at some punk hairstyle sites.

I know it sounds silly- but elmers glue works wonders. It makes the mohawk stay up all day and washes out with ease.

I spray my boys hair with any hair gel and then dry it into the hairstyle with a hairdryer, then i spray it again and dry it again on low heat and it goes rock hard and stays the same all day

try soap, when i was a punk in the 80's i used to put soap on my hands, rub until it was all sticky and put that in my hair, it worked a treat, then when it got a bit flat a bit of water and it helped restore the look.
