After a shower, do you slick back your hair and then proceed to comb it into a parting or not? I just did this and my parting looks somewhat neater. Not to mention my usually wavy hair turned out kind of straight.
I air dry for an hour or so, using my fingers to help disperse the moisture. Then brush straight back and put it in a pony till dry. I use a comb and some water to part it when dry, then brush into style.
Yep, that's exactly what I do. I let it dry slicked back, and it usually helps remove a lot of the excess frizz that way. My hair also turns out much straighter after that method, as well.

I used to do that, but right now I make a parting with my hands when it's still wet to create a less neater part and get a more natural look.
I usually shower in the gym, after workouts; then I twist and wring (is this the right word?) my hair so that they aren't dripping too much, do some kind of messy bun secured with a stick and go home. Usually I brush my hair when they're dry.
I have a sort of natural middle parting; when I want to make it neater, I comb my hair downwards (i.e. in front of my face) and part it. That works very well.
After I shower, at the length my hair is presently, my part remains almost perfect without having to do a thing. But with shorter hair this was not the case.
Usually my hair is slicked back from the water hitting it. I've been parting it in the center so long it naturally parts into a perfect line down the center so I just use my hands. I comb my hair straight afterwards though to make it smooth and tangle free.
That works but I noticed when I take a colder shower my hair doesnt get as wavy either
I usually drape it all to one side (the left) in a curtain shape, then take a towel and wrap it like a cinnamon roll in section. This way, the layers alternate hair, towel, hair, towel, etc. I twist and wring it out. If anything breaks, it's the towel, not my hair, but if I hear towel threads breaking, I know I'm probably twisting too hard.
Then I wrap the cinnamon roll around my head kind of like a turban while I brush my teeth. I remove the towel and head off to work, with the air blowing my hair, which I have in front of me. By the time I get to work, it's nearly dry.
Once I get to work, I brush it once, straight back. I do nothing about parting, except to split my hair into two sections for drying on the trip, and that doesn't really affect the part.
On non-work days I sometimes don't brush at all. That keeps my hair more wavy.
