Fanning vs. Spiking

I find it interesting that people can spike and can't fan. I personally have it backwards. I only learned to fan, and spiking is really difficult for me. I have to have my girlfriend do it, and that takes like 40 minutes because she isnt really used to spiking hair and everytime its like a learning experience, ha. what are your guys bad experiences with either spiking or fanning?

yeah, spike, as in liberty spikes, or individual spikes. i wish i was faster at fanning, but my hair is thick, and i like to make sure i do it real well because i leave it up for 2-6 days at a time.

Spikes are the easiest to do on your own, just do the povian method.

Spiking is harder for me, I think its a bit because of OCD tendency of mine, I want the spikes equal. So... I usually mess them up when separating them out with rubber bands. After re-doing that a few times, I could have already fanned it...
Once I have them rubber banded, its a cake-walk though.

My hawk is kinda wide cause I gotta keep an undercut for work so when I first got it I had no idea how to fan it, did these ridiculous shitty 3 point spikes, looked like I had a penis on my head. Got better at it now I only fan it
AFTER MUCH PRACTISE.
