how do you put up a mohawk with gel

When I had one I never spiked it up cause I would always mess it up. I need to know how to so when I get one again I could spike it. And what's a good gel that will hold

Took the words right out of my mouth! Haha

Gel is always too watery for my hair. It makes it fall in no time, then it just looks greasy and nasty looking.

I use wax until its around 3.5-4 inches tall. Great for a smaller fan. Also works well for shorter liberty spikes. Use a small amount of the wax to sort of mold it into the general shape of the spike then go over with some Got2b hair glue, twisting/shaping kinda. Then a once over with a little bit of spray. I gets it going a lot easier and quicker for you.

Also it helps A LOT to use a small amount of wax on your fingertips and work it into the roots.

I like to use FX Special Effects Molding Wax if i can find it at a good price. Most times I can find it as low as 3 bucks but other times I see it up to like 7, which is not worth it for a little 2 oz. can in my opinion.

i use a strong gel and a spray. I use a hair dryer to put heat in my hair then smooth the gel through with both hands. If you can get someone to help when you first start its easier. get them to heat your hair while you stick it up with the gel and when its up give it a good spray with hair spray. I use got to be gel and spray but recently ive been using fudge sky scraper spray. A good freeze hold spray should do it. Salon services do some good stuff although it can be expensive there.

Hope this helps

I used g2b glu and hairspray. Its actually quite easy with just these two items and a blow dryer. And of course some time so you can practice. Are you looking for a Liberty Spiked hawk? or just a regular fan?

If anything i made video tutorials on both
First one is a fan
