Is there anything in the world that can stop my short, wiry, grey hairs on top of my head sticking up?!!

I’ve tried various smoothing creams, oils and hairsprays but still they won’t lie flat! The wispy short grey hairs around my hairline and parting look awful. Made worse I’m sure with t-section of bleach highlights which are also looking frizzy.

Before I waste any more money can anyone please tell me if they have found anything that works to tame these buggers?!!

Also any recommendations for shampoo for dry, frizzy highlighted hair.

Bleach will make the grey stick up more as it damages and dries it and potentially snaps it. It was happening to me so I started having a tint instead of bleach in my grey areas and it looks soo much better now , I just use root cover powder inbetween appointments to cover the grey . You can get like a mascara wand for these little hairs that stick up thing it’s called hair tamer it does work actually
