Hey I also have thick hair. Here's what I found from a quick google search. (pic + link)

Personally I don't use a wide comb, but my fingers. Same thing I guess, you don't want to ruin the hold each strand has on another. I also highly recommend a pre-styler. I have a mousse and I can't get them to stay in any shape that isn't combed and/or angled downwards without it. Since it's heavy it's also a good idea to apply to the root, like it says. I try to "spread" the product up from the root so it stays up, kind of like the lower left pic, and then fine tune it with my hands before adding a bit of hairspray (not too much) to stick it in place.
So my routine with what I have, it's mousse pre-styler (makes it ready to hold shape) -> spray gel (towards roots then up to distribute) -> hair dryer to shape -> hairspray (to make sure)
Ideally you should be using a heat protectant. I don't because I go through cycles of cutting my hair a lot shorter (where I just apply a styling cream without pre-styler or hairspray and it's fine). The most important thing is to not put too much product. This is why I use different things for when my hair is at different lengths. If I used my cream on my longer hair it would get weighed down and lose its hold.
