Answer 2

Sure you can. black girls smooth their hair down at the temples and the forehead with some kind of gel or wax so I'm sure you can do the same thing all over..  

Answer 3

When the hair is wet, try combing or brushing it in the direction you want it to be. Then apply Long Aid Gel Activator for dry hair. It provides moisture and hold to the hair all day. Wet your brush or comb with hot water and comb it through to style.
