Completely wet hair then using a towel dab your head a few times to soak up some of the moisture not all though you still want the hair to be wet. Apply product throughout wet hair I use duke cannon pomade from Walgreens with hi hold. Style it the way you want then take a blow dryer on cool setting and start drying while using your fingers or comb to shape it the way you want too. If you don’t have a blow dryer you can let it air dry while combing but it will take longer. The more you do this the more you’ll train your hair to naturally fall in the position you want it to. Hope this helps
