Hi again!

It's always best to be specific.

Tell him or her that you want some random spiking and show them exactly where. I remember your pic had the front laying down and the spikes were haphazard from midway back to the crown. If this is where you want your occasional, random spikes, show this. Or if you rather have them in the front, emphasize this. The other option is all over the top. How much or how little you want you hair to have spikes is your personal preference. Just simply communicate how much.

Texturizing is the opposite of even layering where the end result is to keep the hair from laying down smoothly, rather it's like it fights against itself to lay down. In your case, you want the spikes to stand out therefore, cutting back into the haircut causes the "texturizing".

Hope this isn't too confusing or too much info. Just thought if you knew why it's done and have encouragement to tell your stylist or barber exactly what you're trying to achieve, you're more likely to get the end result you want. I usually tell people to take their fav pic with them when they get their hair done. It really is worth a thousand words and makes sure everyone is on the same page. However, most guys don't like the idea. If you do, that's great. If not, that's cool too. Whatever you decide........

GOOD LUCK!
