Any tips on what to do with my hair?

i hate my hair so much. I wear a du-rag so it would stay down, if i didnt it would stay spiky all the time. Even if i put gel or spray it always ends up spiking back up it pisses me off. my hair is as long as my friends but his hair is always stayin down and he doesnt even use gel. i dont wanna cut it short again cause then im always wasting money to get it cut because it grows very quick. Any ideas on what to do with it?

Try putting a leave-in cream or wax to weigh it down a bit. Also, try shampooing your hair at night. Allow it to dry up to about 80% and put on the durag and sleep in it. It might flatten your hair by the next morning. If nothing really works, but yourself a shaver and trim your hair yourself, it won't be as costly as going to the hairdresser's every month!
