Techniques for spiking back and top of hair (I am white)?

I don't consider those pictures to be spiked hair. You have to remember that the more you condition your hair the softer it gets which means it will be harder for it to stand up. I never condition my hair. I use "got 2 b" rubber spiking cement. It gets rock hard. If you have longer hair, I would do it in sections. Hold your hair up while you blow dry it so it dries in whatever position you have it in.
