I think when you have the piece on your head, and if your cut will be a short as the picture, you will achieve that style. The curl that it normally comes with is a light bodywave and when you have gel or wax in it there will be no curl. In order to get it to sweep up, you will need to put some sort of product in it even if it was your natural hair. When hair, either natural or a piece is attached to your head it will behave differently than what you are experiencing now whith if NOT being on your head. Let us know how it goes...
