Help with brother's hair.

This is how my brother's hair look like from back view, it's horrible and very puffy. Looks like a pineapple. How can this be fixed? I took this pic when his hair was still wet after a hair wash. When it drys, those different sections of his hair as ytou can see will go left and right all the way to the end.

What does he want it to look like?

Straight, unpuffy, not sticking out, just nice and normal. Like his hair laying down smoothly.

He could use a smoothing creme or pomade that women use to make their long hair extremely smooth. The only bad part is that his hair will smell a little girly.

girly? there's not such thing as smelling girly.

well you can just use those smoothing lotion to make the hair stay straight and in line. you can find this stuff in almost any brand of salon.

It's not waving in that picture because his hair was still wet from taking a shower. When it drys, or when his hair is in normal state, it would be wavy and ugly.

It looks a little dry and static-ey. A bit of jojoba would eliminate that. It also looks like it's mostly short and the longer layers stick out from the rest. That would be cured by more length.

I'm only commenting on the photo you posted, which looks pretty good to me. If you post a photo that looks very different, my comments might be different.

If it's just that he hates his hair type and wants it to be some other hair type, sorry about that, not a lot you can do to change genetics. Learn to love the hair and break the vicious cycle.

I never knew he had wavy hair till now. I thought he had straight hair all along and now I can see it, but then again, he had shorter hair. I'll try to post another picture of him when I get the chance to.

Use a straightener? I use all types on waxes and pomades on my cow licks and none of them ever worked. My hair was never as long as his though
