How do you achieve messy hair without it going back down and smooth?

I have average shortish length hair and i like the messy look but when i get it right, later it goes back down in to that nerdy %26amp;70's Prom, beatlesc look. This is when i use gel, so should i use more gel or a different technique etc.?

OkAY! I have found the best product. It's from Pantene and it's made to keep locks separated! OHMYGOSH it's the best. It's with the pantene stuff and it's in a short little container. I believe it's called Texturizing and when you read the container, it says it keeps the hair messy and chunky. You wash and DRY your hair. Then put a dab on your fingertips and work into the hair. TADA!

I have super straight medium length hair. I curl my ends outward after using the pantene. Finger toussel, then spray with hairspray!

It's awesme! And the container is like $5 and will last a long, long time!
