Certain hairstyles are better suited if you have a cowlick, whether it's at the hairline, the nape of the neck, or at the crown, known as the vertex. Hair products like gel, wax, or hairspray can help create a hairstyle, whether short or long.
The ideal hairstyles when you have a cowlick
When you have a cowlick, a short haircut can seem difficult to maintain. There are two options: either shave with clippers for men or cut with scissors for women to clear the nape well, or keep some length and use the weight of the hair to counteract gravity. For women, it's possible to crimp the hair to add volume and create a quiff for a trendy, rock-inspired hairstyle. Men can go for a chic dandy look with a slicked-back effect.
Long hair can more easily hide a cowlick. Avoid hairstyles that are too layered or thinned out, as this makes the hair uneven in length and regrowth can be a time of unruliness.
If you have a cowlick at the front of your head, a small cornrow braid near the forehead is a trendy and neat hairstyle that can help you. The simplest solution, if you don’t want to use hair products, remains a ponytail or a bun. Think about accessories like a barrette, a headband, or a hairband, especially for parties, with glitter, sequins, and rhinestones.
Gel, wax, hairspray: styling products to tame your hair
Styling products are essential for achieving a polished hairstyle or taming cowlicks. The downside is that you need to shampoo to remove the product at the end of the day.
For men, gel is an ally for achieving a styled/messy look. There are different levels of hold: natural, flexible, strong, extra strong… Although effective, gel can give hair a stiff appearance. The wet hair effect helps to counter this drawback.
Hairspray is a hair product much loved by women to set a sophisticated hairstyle like a bun. In spray form, the diffusion should be even for a successful result against cowlicks.
Wax is somewhat new in hair care. It helps set a short cut or tame strands on long hair. It can have a very retro shiny effect or a matte, quite trendy look. Wax has the advantage of coating the hair and ensuring it stays in place.
