How to make hair "stand up"?

>>12127350
People just have different kinds of hair, man. Mine lies flat, too. Best just to deal with it and find what works naturally for you. Not to say that some knowledgable hair stylist couldn't figure out a way to accomplish what you're asking, but why bother? Just be you, and get really, really good at being you. Someday some anon will see you, and start a thread saying, "How can I get my uppity vertical hair to lie flat like pic related...."

I'm pretty sure most hair naturally lies flat. Nearly every male I know has hair that goes up in some way and I'm sure this has to do with styling, not with genetics. I have on a few occasions managed by accident to have my hair resemble something like pic related and want to recreate it.

Not necessarily. My hair goes straight up without product. I have to style my hair to control how it goes up. If I just wash it and let it dry on its own, it'll go up and all over the place. It looks ridiculous.

OP, maybe try volumising shampoo for a bit along with a lighter product, like a cream or water based pomade. It might help. But it might be a battle if your hair is inclined to fight that behaviour. Ask a half decent barber or hairdresser the next time you get a trim.

It's not a matter of fighting that behavior, it's a matter of not knowing how to even attempt a "standing up" look like pic related. I have accidentally made my hair resemble that look somewhat in the past, so I know it's not entirely impossible with my hair. I'm trying to figure out what combing techniques or whatever I should use to attempt this look.

Specifically I'm referring to having the hair lie parallel to the scalp, but somewhat raised above it rather than having the hair stick straight up or lie flat on the scalp.

Not him but I have extremely thick hair and my cowlicks still prevent this from happening

Put styling mousse on wet/damp hair and blow dry it with your head upside down

Literally comb it all back, away from your forehead. Sorry, I didn't think that needed explanation.
