Styling thread

Ok, I'll go first:

I could conceal most of my hair loss (NW3 corners), if the damn hair would just always stay combed backwards, instead of just sticking straight up like a forest on an island. Especially since the forest is extremely thick (no thinning except in the corners), unbreakable, and a bit wavy. I sometimes towel-dry it, and then wear a hat for 30mins to hold it back, and it works pretty well, but it takes a long time, and probably causes traction alopecia if I do it every day.

Nothing else works. I tried these

Gel and spray: Keeps the hair back for a few minutes. The first breeze of air relieves the hair of its forced inclnination, and makes it look like a mess.

Wax: Holds a bit longer than gel, but makes greasier.

Paste: Don't know what the point of this stuff is supposed to be...

Clay: Holds somewhat longer than the others, but even so makes the texture look unappealing, as opposed to just keeping it shower clean.
