My Hair, Help!

Shoot, dude, I don't know. It really depends on your hair. The most important thing is to put on the hat when the hair is BARELY dry, then leave it on until everything's dry.

That way the hair doesn't stay wet.

That's how my sock-curling works, at least. Same idea: changing the position of the hair by forcing it into a position when it's still barely dry (or kinda damp).

Somehow it helps. Don't know why, though.

Hope this helps

Ah hah! That explains it. Looks like he has the natural nappy kinky texture of African-American hair. Philly, you won't be able to get his texture without a genie.

And thank you Dave

All my shirts have collars, so my most accurate photo measurements are taken without them. With the collar, my hair is only waist length. If anyone is offended by the signature pic then I can happily change it to a hairbun or something.  Hope this clears it up.

Ok thanks. How long for combing though?


Oh and no offense or nothing, but you look sorta naked in your signature and avatar.

Ok, I have another question. About how long in time do I gotta keep combing my hair down and around how many showers will this take?

Oh, I don't know how long.... the point is to let your hair dry in the desired position. I don't think a comb is as important as a hat, but the comb helps in positioning your hair, at least. The MOST important thing is to do it frequently: after every shower.

Anyway, I didn't think he was really Spanish.  That's cool though.

Hey Philly

After a shower, just comb your hair where you want it to go... (comb a LOT) ...and then put on a hat or something to make the cowlick stay DOWN. Basically you can "train" your hair to grow in a certain direction. After a few weeks, your hair roots should be pretty "well-trained".

Technically you can't have hair like that dude. From the looks of it, he's part-black. That means he's got some of those "fro" genes that make his hair nappy and kinky. 

Hope this helps a little

Technically you CAN get rid of the cowlick if you really want to. Each hair follicle has a little "micromuscle" at the base (the one that tells the hair to stand up when you get goosebumps). If you comb repeatedly while wet, for every hairwash, eventually the hair will 'get the idea'. Comb in the direction that you want your cowlick to go. It might take a few weeks for the "hair memory" to set in. I know this sounds crazy but this is how people end up with a straight part that is relatively permanent, or traction alopecia. For this reason I have had so much trouble with getting rid of a center part.

hahhahahaha. Apparently all "white boys" can only wear their hair like the boys from Busted or Mcfly.

My brother has hair very similar to yours. And he's all into his rap and stuff and he wanted something similar, but apart from a perm (which doesnt make sense cuz your hair is so short) I can't think of anything else. My brother just keeps his hair really short (almost shaved) and sometimes has his barber add "decorative" touches. Like a design on the hair line or something. I don't personally like it, but hey whatever floats your boat!
