My hair stick out naturally like a porcupine. Any way to flatten it down?

Question

I've tried hats and gel, and it doesn't work.

And I'm too young to drive to a salon.

Answer 1

If you have really coarse, stiff hair and you cut it too short, it won't lay down, it will stick straight out like when someone is frightened on a cartoon! I have a lot of Chinese friends who have hair that does this. Just try growing it longer, and it should lay down from its own weight.

Answer 2

If you straighten it it might be because your top hairs are shorter but try after straightening(if you do) add some baby oil it should keep it down and add shine & softness -but not soo much 'cause then it'll look very oily or greasey...hope this helps;)

Answer 3

use a straightener! :)
