This putty claims to give you the faux hawk look. Applied it and followed the instructions to blow dry. Ended up like I just got out of bed. Not quite the look I was going for. Tried again without blow drying but to no avail. This doesn't give you the spiky/ piecey hair that I was going for. Although it smells nice, it does not have very good hold at all and you have to use an insane amount of the product. Returned it.
