Ok, I got 4 For You. They kinda suck, cause I took em' of myself with my phone, and its an NEXTEL i860 and they weren't ment to really show my hair and that this phone has sucky quality:

Picture Number One


Picture Number Two


Picture Number Three


Alright, so the problem is, number one, I have a cowlick to the right side of my head, and if you can't see it well it's because I shaved most of it, but then it just grows back bigger. I want to completely get rid of that. And my other problem is, is there anyway to change the way my hair grows? So I could get rid of the cowlick and also change the way my hair grows? I want to get it like Peedi Crakk's hair. Here is a pic:



Please help me. Thanks!

Sorry for the double post, but I took some pictures of my hair just now. Here they are:

This is it from the front, as you can see, the cowlick over there:

I know, I do look a little weird in this one. Don't remind me

This is from the Top of my head:


This is from the side, it's the same for the other side, so I didn't bother taking another picture. And yet again, you can see the cowlick.

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!

He's not black, he's spanish. Anyone could do that hairstyle if they wanted too.

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.

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

Anais

Alright, well how long should I comb it for? He's not at all black, he is all Spanish, his Bio even says he was born in Spain.

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.

I don't know.... It depends on your hair roots. Maybe 3-4 weeks.

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.

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
