Step 1: Work gel through wet hair, comb through to be sure it's evenly distributed, and create a side parting.
Step 2: Place your index finger about an inch below your part on the side that has the most hair. Comb your the hair under your finger away from your face.
Step 3: Place one finger about an inch below that part and comb in the opposite direction! Continue to follow this pattern.
Step 4: Repeat on the opposite side.
