Talk to Your Hairstylist Before Your Next Cut

“Make sure you get a haircut that helps your cowlick out as opposed to making it stand out more,” says Spellman. Flag the area to your stylist to ensure that they’re mindful about how to lay it flat during your next salon appointment.

Style With Caution

Spellman also recommends parting and styling your hair in ways that avoid accentuating your cowlick. “Avoid straightening the hairs around your cowlick,” says Spellman. “This will actually give the hair the ability to loosely stand up on its own, especially if not styled correctly.”

Get to Know Your Hair

The best advice Spellman shares when it comes to cowlicks? Know it well. “If you understand your cowlick to the best of your ability, you will absolutely be able to solve any issues you have,” she says. “Truly knowing the ins and outs of your hair will make the biggest difference on how you approach styles.”
