How to Spike Your Hair Like Sora's

Re-creating Sora's hairstyle will require a lot of hair gel.

Sora is the hero of the popular Disney computer game Kingdom Hearts. After a storm hits his home, Sora is separated from his friends, and the game follows the 14-year-old in his quest to be reunited with them. His trademark spikey hairdo is easy to copy as long as you have the right haircut and products. You can re-create Sora's hair if you want to dress up as him for a party or if you just want the style as an everyday look.

Things You'll Need

• Comb
• Strong-hold hair gel, preferably hair glue
• Strong-hold hair spray

Instructions

1. Print a photo of Sora and take it with you to a hair salon. Show the photo to your hairdresser so she knows what length to cut your hair. If you have short hair you may have to wait until it has grown longer before you try this look. Ideally the front part of your hair should be at least the length of your chin.

2. Wash and dry your hair before using a comb to separate it into three sections---front, middle and back. The front section should consist of the hair that frames your face, the middle section should be made up of the hair on the top of your head. And the back section should use hair collected from the nape of the neck.

3. Dip your comb in strong-hold hair gel or hair glue and begin applying it in thick amounts through the back section with a comb. Using your fingers, raise two-inch thick pieces of hair and smooth them into spikes that point downward and lie down the side of you neck. Use the rest of the hair to create Sora's fat spike that points outward and slightly downward.

4. Style the middle section by applying gel and creating spikes about an inch thick that point directly up into the air.

5. Apply gel to the front section and spike hair so it's falling in front of, and to the sides of, your eyes. It may be useful to look at a picture of Sora so you can copy exactly where his spikes are.

6. Spray your hair evenly with two coats of strong-hold hairspray to keep the style in place.

Tips & Warnings

• Use a picture of Sora to refer to the first few times you try this style so you can make sure your spikes are in the right place.

• The stronger the hair gel, the better
