You should just comb your hair down like this other kid in the forum. Or use a lot of gel.

Look.

tease your hair!

brush it upside down!

alrite, i'm no hair expert, but i do know how to fix it.

first start of with wax/ mud/ moving rubber but not hair cream.
prefably use wax, because it's easier to wash off.
and wax always give you the MAT type of hair, which is dry and looks rough.
gel will make your hair WET LOOK.

so apply wax onto the hair when it's just a little damp.
do not just apply to the roots, but every strand.

then use a wax spray while messing your hair.

your hair will then be not "flat" to quote you XD

Wax is a good idea - rub it into your hair upwards ..

Get a roll brush and dry your hair using that and that will work too.

texture paste

works miracles. trust me!

bit of hairspray works, holds it in position

shampoo can also make a difference, too.
Tigi catwalk - thickening shampoo gives more volume.

I want that girls hair in MVP's pic!
Emms I back comb mine sometimes :]
