How to do a soft looking style

I have done the gelled type of mohawk before for a while but stopped doing it cause of my school. But I am going to do another one since I am graduating soon. I have always wanted to know how to do it like the picture below but I could never figure it out.

Any help/ideas would be very helpful.

tease the hell outta your hair

get two really fine brushes and pull up hair between the two.

do it every day. pull up with one hand till u pull on your scalp a lil (not so much that it hurts) and drag the brush up from the roots.... eventually when you start to tease, it'll start to stand on its own.

That's a purdy hawk ^__^ But I actually think he just wore it for a couple days and then slept on it, that's it.
No blowdrying and holding in place to get it stiff, but as people said, backcombing, and then just jiggle it up a bit, run your fingers thru, use a not so strong hairspray.
