What hair style can a dude with thick, short hair, that is somewhat straight?

cuz the only look i can pull off is the one where the front is picked up, and gelled in place, but i just hate how the gel leaves my hair. is there another hairstyle i can try?

thick hair is kinda hard to work with why dont you try to use like a oil type base i forgot what its called but if you just use a little it wont make your hair greasy but it will keep it in place but soft. some gels in the jar are light weight and it wont make your hair feel hard. what about moose or hairspray just in the front and leave the rest alone. if you want it so its not so poofy when you get out of the shower put a hat on and it will flatten it out. there really is not much to do with your hair cuz your style now is whats hot these days i mean if you comb it to the side its dorkey you know. lol good luck

if you like the style but not the gel, try a hair cream for your hair, it doesnt make your hair stiff but still holds it in place.

For a guy who is somewhat straight I would have no clue what to tell him...

you can spike you hair up with gel, and maybe put a few high lights in your hair.
