Liberty spikes!! (an attempt)

Here comes the sun ah hair DX

I think my hair is too long for this, but creds to my friend for helping and taking pictures!! I've seen some other people with hair as long as mine do this and it worked out, so please lmk if you have any tips! I would love to wear my hair out like this but I don't think it would stay for more than an hour. Also ways to smooth it out more? It's giving J*mmy Urine, and I would rather it didn't. Anyways, off to comb my hair for the next three hours!!!
