How Do I Make My Hair Stand Up for Crazy Hair Day?

To make your hair stand up for a gravity-defying crazy hairstyle, use hair gel, hair spray, or hair mousse. Follow these steps:

  • Apply a generous amount of the styling product to your hair.
  • Use your hands or a comb to shape your hair into the desired style, lifting it upwards.
  • Use additional pins or clips if needed to hold the style in place.
  • Finish with a strong-hold hairspray to keep your hair standing throughout the day.

Gravity-defying hairstyle takes much time and effort, but it will surely fetch many compliments. This is not an easy Crazy Hair Day idea for girls, especially if they have long hair. It’s more suitable for kids with short hair.
