    Oh ok,
    I could probably go and buy the one that you use somewhere, but the one I have is almost similar to yours.

    Any other advice, since all I do for now since I have dry and thin hair is take the putty in hand, rub hands for 4 seconds then just take both hand and go through my hair like I am back combing. After that I use the comb to back comb my hair...it looks good but does not stand for more than a couple of hours ...

    Shall I use more than I use right now or do any other technique to get better looking hair?

    Straighten hair upwards, put putty in hands and just brush upwards and add a bit of water after for more definition, just don't add too much or it flops! :lol: that's what I used to to anyway.

    This is when I had shorter hair and used to do that with the putty to get spikey hair:

    Now I use texturing gum:

    I don't have that much hair :D So the upwards thing doesnt work for me :(

    Anyhow I want my hair to be somewhat like these...

    /\ I have somewhat the same type of hair as him but little like 50% of what he has...
    [​IMG]
    /\ Something in those ways works fine for me as well....

    The only problem that stands is that my hair is so thin none of the styles above work that great with me ;(
    Just need to get more hair density or make it thicker, none of the shampoos that I use work or anything as well...

    Matting clay or Texturing gum would work better for those styles, putty is for spikey defined hair.

    Either is good, give them both a try and see which works for you better. My mate uses clay and he can style it like that, I use gum and I could style it like that if my hair was wavy :P

    Ok I will go and get some clay and some gum later tonight and try it tomorrow before going to work :P

    So basically just take some in hand, rub hands, go through hair then use a comb right?

    Ya, it might be hard for me to get that style since thin and dry hair is hard to work with :(

    Yeah that's pretty much what you want to do, grow it longer so it looks thicker too.
