Soak your wet hair with a towel, leave a lil damp, and use a non sticky argan or almond oil to soften your hair, and then use a hair dryer with a round nylon hair brush, blow it dry to shape it as per your style, and finally dig a lil bit of wax in your finger tip, rub it onto ur palms, and then shape your hair to the desired style of yours, i guess it would probably last for 8 to 12 hours!
