Any tutorials on how to do this hairstyle? I'll be styling my boyfriend's hair for prom so I'm in need of some help. Products and tips are well welcomed.

He needs that haircut first. Then just blow-dry it into position and put in a bit of matte wax or something. Easiest shit ever that he can do himself.

So he would need to straighten it out first then apply wax. What other products can be used?

First of all his hair needs to be short enough on the sides for this to work or (a) it looks goofy or (b) you need a metric ton of product. Secondly you need enough hair up top. Thirdly, don't go with gel, shit sucks; use wax instead. "Prejume wax" is very easy to use; just run your finger in the container to get a dab and then rub your hands, and swipe in the desired directions. Might take a few tries; be careful, because if you fuck up too bad you will need more and more wax and eventually it's unsalvageable. The rest is artistic and "feeling around." Protip: unlike gel, wax doesn't work well with wet hair. You may use a comb if desired. You always want to go for as much "height" on the swoop as possible because it'll never be THAT high and if you try to make it lower it'll look flat and like Donald Trump's toupe. Fourthly, good luck. And finally, and I mean this in the most constructive way possible: your boyfriend should learn to style his own fucking hair unless you're forcing this do on him. It really comes in handy.

Second poster but no, blowdrying it into position is getting it into position, not straightening it. That will make things very hard... figuratively and possibly literally depending on how you try to rectify it. Didn't most schools have prom 2 months ago?

this guy explains and shows it really well, better than most "self tutorials" because he's actually doing it on someone else and showing all the angles

Hos hair is not very long on the sides and he has a lot of hair in the front. It's soft but not completely straight. I would need to blow dry it out then apply the wax and style. He always cuts the sides of his hair although it's not as short as the guy here>>6349967

if you really want I can grab mine from my car and check the brand, but refer to my post:

It's just called "Prejume Wax," possibly "pre-jume wax," and I guess "juming" is some other process. Which reminds me that you can spray his hair later to keep it in place.

Where, out of curiosity? I'm originally from Malaysia and I used to start my summer break in mid-July.
.. I should add this is much easier to do if you're white, generally. The hair is better suited to the style.

Thanks! I'll be going to a beauty supply tomorrow. I was thinking of putting some hairspray on at the end so it holds up longer.

half asian so it does get problematic when the sides are too short. By problematic I mean very spiky.
