Okay, lets see if any of the pros here can give me some advice.

First things first. My hair is THICK. Real THICK. But soft. And straight.

I notice I can do fine, with spiking short hair. However, I've been doing that since my secondary school years. I always see some guys with kinda like Mohawk style. Not like punkish, just a gentle touch of Mohawk in the middle, if you know what i mean. Like the middle longer abit that the rest. Kinda cool. I've been wanting to try that, but I don't know the correct length for me to achieve that.

And each time I leave my hair a lil bit too long, Gatsby hair gel doesn't work anymore. My hair just falls down >_>

Never used wax/clay before though.

Comments,ideas,suggestions appreciated.
