Me and my friend are in need are hair styling help!!?

So my friend is in ROTC and is OBSESSED with keeping her hair short [like, boy short!] but she likes for me to style it when we go out, she wants me to be able to spike the back of her hair up [kinda emo style] and I don't really know how to do it!

Could some one please give me tips on how to style her hair!

Here is a picture of her:

[and now it's a little short becasue she just got it trimmed!]

As for me, I have almost shoulder length brown hair. I have alot of layers, and I'm about to be getting more and having my ends trimmed. My hair is very thick and quite stubborn, it is naturally wavy, but I straighten it when I'm going out. I like to put clips and bows in my hair, but I also like to spike my hair a little with gel and go for more of a punk/emo look.

Have her wash her hair and towel dry it. When the back is still damp, put some gel, mousse, or hairspray in it and blowdry it upside down running your fingers through it upwards so it spikes up. Or you could try doing it dry, using some pomade and running your fingers through it upwards with the pomade. If it doesn't seem to want to spike, the problem could be its too thick or too long.
