I've had the same annoying cowlick on the front of my hairline for as long as I can remember. No matter how I comb or style it, it always sticks out and ruins the look. Anyone know a way to actually fix or hide a cowlick without buzzing everything off?

Cowlicks can be frustrating, but sometimes the right cut or product can help tame them.

I used to fight with my cowlick every single morning and couldn't get it to stay flat no matter what I tried. Then I stumbled across this article on how to fix a cowlick hair and it changed my routine. Turns out I was working against my natural hair growth instead of with it. I started drying my hair in the opposite direction of the cowlick, then using a bit of lightweight mousse to hold it in place. Also, switching to a textured hairstyle gave me more control because the cowlick blends better with messy layers. I don't dread styling my hair anymore, and some days I don't even notice the cowlick. It's all about technique and a smart cut.
