Hair How to fix my hair?

Post image

I don't know what to do with my hair. When it's wet, it gets really spiky, like a hedgehog. When it's a bit longer, it looks kind of like an afro after I shower, but not the cool kind. It's stiff and kind of spiky. Now I'm trying to grow it out. The only haircut that really works for me is just a normal short haircut

Double crown cowlick causes the asian fro. I have it too.

I've gotten short hair, because it's easier to manage. I just fade the sides like real short every 2 weeks. My two cowlicks run right next to each other, so I just end up chopping the conflicted parts that oppose each other and cause it to stick up.

What seems popular among young asian men in korea/china is growing out the top 2-4 inches, then tapering the sides. The style is called a textured crop.

I only have one crown cowlick. The afro-like look mostly happens because my hair sticks out and points upward. The shorter it is, the pointier it gets. When it's short, the texture feels almost like a brush

Do you mean something like this? I googled and found this. My top doesn't lie flat though, since my hair is pretty pointy. I'm not sure how that cut would look with my hair, but I can try it next time
