Question! I have short hair and I like to make it really puffy to balance out the heavier head accessories better (like top-hats and shit), but when I style it with gel or gel spray, my hair doesn't seem to hold on to it very well. Does anyone have any tips for making it stay longer? I generally use gel spray, then fixation spray, and then some more gel spray for extra strength but it still falls down. Tips on how to tease hair would be nice too, since that doesn't seem to work well with my hair, either. Maybe because it's too thin? Sorry for hijacking the thread!
