Does anyone else have out of control hair?

[Silence]

I do. Since last year, I've been using hair straightener so the front part of my hair won't curl like it normally would if I didn't use a hairdryer, and for the most part, it used to work out really well. So here's how it goes.

 

My hair is short (but thick) currently and after taking a bath and brushing my hair, I use the hair straightener like I normally do and then dry my hair. The problem happens when I try to brush my hair down after drying every part of it and the back and sides of it stick up and out a lot, so I use water from the sink to get it to lay down, but after a while when I'm ready to brush my hair again, some of the sprigs start sticking up again and it takes me a while to get it to fix the way I want it.

 

In the past, I used to not even use a hairdryer after taking a bath, but the front part of my hair would curl most of the time and I hated that. I also used gel and mousse (before the gel) back in the 8th grade and my hair would curl in the front then, too.

 

Anyone have any suggestions on how I can get my hair to look right since the hairdryer makes my hair stick up?

My hair short and thick, too. While gel is usually good enough for my situation the lower right area of hair on the back of my head curls up when it gets "too long." That's when I know it's time for a hair cut...

My hair's usually a mess that curls all over the place, but lately i just get it cut short so i don't have to worry about it. I'm too lazy to bother fixing my hair all the time.
