How to Spike Your Hair How to Spike Your Hair Not everyone likes to bear the same look for a lifetime. Though it is not possible to change your heaven-gifted exterior, there are options to modify your appearances to the one that is elegant, stylish, formal or festive looks and so on. Gone are the days where a plain plait for women and a close-cut hair for men were the standard. Things have evolved for styling hair for both men and women and in the recent years spiking hair became the most sought out hair style that could go along with any occasion.

How to spike your hair depends upon the characteristics of your hair. Your hair could be of normal volume or thin or thick. This could demand different treatment to make them spiky. In addition there is length-specific spiking of hair for long or short-length hair. Irrespective of the length and volume, the method of spiking varies only a little.

The basic steps to spike your hair are:

Step 1: In order to have a spiky look, the foremost thing is to have your hair washed and cleaned that is hardly extra-ordinary as these occupy the weekends for most of us. So shampoo and condition your hair with a conditioner before you go for spiking.

Step 2: Your hair needs to be wet before spiking. However, ensure that it is not dripping. So, soak out excessive water either with a towel or hair dry until it is still damp. How to Spike Your Hair1 How to Spike Your Hair

Step 3: At this stage you could use a styling gel or glue. For this, take a little amount in your fingers and run through the length of a spike about a finger long. In order to make it stiff, apply pressure to the portion of the hair by taking them in between your thumb and index finger. In case where the hair is too thick, spraying a hair spray could help it stand upright after heating.

Step 4: Continue step 3 for individual spikes depending upon the kind of spiky look you desire. If you want them localized to the portion above the forehead, divide them from the rest of the hair and make individual spikes. In case you aspire that muddled look, you could spike your hair unsystematically from any portion of your hair.

Step 5: In case you wish to enjoy dynamic spikes that could move along with your movements, the amount of hair spray needs to be reduced relative to the static ones.
Spikes for long hair could be a little different. The portion of the hair chosen for spikes needs to be applied with heavy duty hair or spiking gel. Make spikes in the same way as mentioned in step 3. Using a comb could help. Spray on the spike heavily and then subject it to a blow dry with your hair dryer. Repeat the process until the spike is stiff and elegant. You could do this to the rest of your hair, part by part, and carry that spiky unyielding look that could revolutionize your overall appearance.
