Thank you so much. I am 71 years old and had not figured this out yet! You are beautiful inside and out, as well as an excellent communicator, skilled, and intelligent. May you have a great future!
Well let me just tell you. This is an awesome discovery. My cowlick is about 2 inches long and the older you get the worse it gets and with your method I don’t see it anymore. I don’t touch it anymore. I don’t look in the mirror every day. What I did to different was after I read it. I put some mousse in that area to keep it in place this for me is like a miracle. Thank you so much.
That’s fantastic! 🤗The mousse will lock in the style and give you lasting hold in the direction you want…a little reinforcement. I love it! I’m so glad my technique helped you! Thank you for watching and sharing this friend! ♥️♥️♥️
OMG! This really worked. I've been looking for a solution for years. Not even my hair stylist suggested this. I've been using a pony tail and putting my hair up to disguise it for a really long time. Thank you!!!!!
This is the best information I’ve ever had on a cowlick it works!! Game changer I’ve been dealing with this for 70 years and this this is the best and only thing I’ve done that actually lasts all day and even into the next day. When I woke up this morning I had no cowlick!! Total game changer you are a lifesaver❤️❤️
@@gigigerlach5486 Yay! 😃 I’m so glad you found this tutorial so you don’t have to struggle anymore! Only smooth styling days ahead my friend! Thank you so much for watching! I’m so happy it was helpful to you. 🙏🏽💝🫶🏽🤗🥰
thank you so much for this!!!!! i could cry right now, this actually worked! i have very fine hair that makes my crown cowlick look so much worse so i've just worn my hair up out of embarrassment almost every day and i have NEVER found a real solution that worked. you just changed my life!!! 💖

OOOMMMGGG!!! I wish I would have watched this video YEARS ago!! I have struggled and fought with my cowlick at the crown of my head without success-and even used to do hair back in the 80’s and no one ever showed me this simple, effective method to disappear that ugly, bald-looking cowlick! Not even my current stylist who I’ve gone to for 6 years now-she always does an impeccable cut and color and I generally like the way she styles my hair yet that damn cowlick is still there! I can’t wait to see her next and share this with her! One of those techniques that you’d think EVERYONE would know and share-TY for enlightening those of us like myself who’ve all but given up hiding our crown cowlicks! (Or any cowlick for that matter-it works on the one at the front of my hairline as well!👍🙏🥰✨)
@@ashleyhopehairplay yes!! that prize is yours! And next day update - I was amazed that the hair had still not parted after sleeping on it all night. I didn't even do the back tease part, only the drying part. I have been doing it the opposite - wrong! - way all my life. trying to make it better when really just making worse 😆this is one video you could put 'game changer' in title and it wouldn't be exaggeration 🤣
@@gingermichelle Yay! 😄 I'm so glad to hear it didn't separate overnight... And without any tease... 🫵 you’re a pro!! 💖Maybe I should change the title?! 🤗
This works! I did it this morning with flat iron on lowest setting. Afterwards I went to gym (chest day so laying on bench) then had fun time with husband on my back, and had two showers. My cowlick is unnoticeable. Thank you so much for making this video.
Every once in a while I come across similar video tutorials [not necessarily about hair, but 'how to'....] and after a minute I have to steer away because the individual is just too annoying. You, young lady, are pleasant to listen to because you get to the point, have a very nice voice, your personality comes through and have loads of pertinent info that you explain well. Your lead-in caught my eye because I have quite the stubborn cowlick, made worse by sleeping wrong. At 71 yo, it's been about 40-50 years since I had long layered hair [I so wish I was 25 again] and wearing it a little shorter now just makes the cowlick worse. I'm trying this tomorrow morning! Thanks for sharing, and keep up the good work on your channel!! 😊
Thank you SO much for your kind words my friend! My goal is to give you as much of that info as I can. I’m so glad u found my video and that you were able to sit through it hehe! Thank you for watching and for your kind words, I really appreciate you! Xo 💓🫶🏽😘🥰🤗✨
Ashley, this technique is life-changing!! I thought I was balding for the longest time, but turned out, I now realized it was a cow lick this whole time! Your technique completely changed my mindset and it has boosted my confidence so much. Thank you🥹
Sorry to say but she is actually suffering from Hair Thinning which is curable via medicines and the right type of supplements. Hair thinning happens because we lack certain specific type of nutrition in our diet over a very long period of time. Even after all the below drying you can still see her scalp. It's nothing to be ashamed about bcz it can happen to anyone.
I'm usually really lazy with my wavy hair but since this started happening to me I have tried everything and it only sort of helps. The follicles actually hurt in that area because the hairs are so adamant about laying a certain way. Feels great to use a scalp brush on the area. Thank you for the tips, will try for sure!
Oh yes a scalp brush is amazing! Like a little massage 💆♀️. The scalp can be sensitive when the hair is pulled in a different direction than how it grows, even a little sore, just be gentle in that area and guide the hair but don't force it. It will get more used to it the more you do it. Similar to building a tolerance for tight ponytails. Good luck styling! Keep me posted. Thank you so much for watching! 💕🫶🤗
I am having the same problem with my hair like it’s my hair hurting when it moves and since that started i have developed a back parting like the video, did you get the hair/follicles hurting sorted out, if yes could you please tell me how. I got stuff of doctor which made it worse 😡
This tutoral absolutely solved my vexing cowlick issue. It works perfectly. Thinking I was going bald, I was ready to buy a tiny toupee. Hooray for you sharing this helpful tip. Thank you a million times over. ❤😊❤
@@maryholquin5952 OMG you made my day! I’m so happy it was helpful and you didn’t have to buy a little toupee, bc they are fabulous too, but now you don’t need it! Hooray indeed! The best news too is that there’s really hair there! It just likes to dry separated… naughty cowlick! Now it will never worry you again! Thank you so much for watching! 🤗🥰🫶🏽❤️🙌🏽✨
I take that same section of hair after shampooing and put in a hair claw until hair is dry. At night, take the same section of hair and make a pony tail with a nice, thick 'fabric' hair scrunchy and secure high with a small clip, and settle in for a beautiful night's sleep.
Yeah I do that sometimes too. I don't do it until it's dry but I'll blow dry it half way put in a claw clip, and do my makeup and stuff and then when I dry it the rest of the way it usually stays down.
Omg! Finally this actually works for me! The small scrunchy high up with just the crown. Once I remove in morning has volume and no more cowlick!! 😊 TY😘😘😘
omg ive been searching for a solution for this for YEARS! I couldn’t find any content for cowlicks on crown for very long hair so I can’t wait to try this technique! Thank you so much for this! I subbed!!! ❤❤
I have two cowlicks swirling in opposite directions making the back of my head flat and bare, and I've always hated it!! I'll try these tips. Thank you!
I have the same identical cowlick as you, and of course I have been doing all the wrong things to try to control it. I hate the way my hair looks from the back because it is so severe and I had no idea I was actually making it worse. I can't wait to try your technique....like right now, lol. Thanks so much for the tips!
Oh im sorry to hear that! What type of brush or tool are you using when you do this wrapping technique? And your hair dryer is set to low until the last pass? I do generally start with the wide end of a comb or a brush that has very few bristles so there isn’t a lot of tension on the hair. The wet brush speed dry vent brush is nice for this bc the air can easily dry the hair and the brush glides very gently through the hair with the littlest tension possible. 👉🏽amzn.to/3ZWgIW9. Or I use a heat resistant comb with wider teeth like this to start before a bristle brush 👉🏽amzn.to/3OXzmXF. I hope this helps! 🤗 Thanks for watching and please keep me posted! ❤️🫶🏽🥰
@ thank you for your reply! I appreciate it. I have bleached hair so it’s prone to breakage at that very spot 😩. I’m taking your advice and ordering a new wet brush like the one you recommended to see if it helps. Thanks! 😊
@ wait! 🙋🏻♀️ question- are you using a volumizing hair product in that area? It may be that and not the brush. If there’s too much stiffness in the product that could also be the cause of the breakage. And I also I make sure the area is detangled before I go at it with the heat. Fragile hair always requires heat protection from the blow dryer and that may also provide some slip which could help minimize tension and breakage.

Oh my goodness I cannot tell you how thankful I am for this video. My hairstylist told me the only thing I can do about a cowlick is to try doing a Brazilian blowout treatment on that area. I am going to try this right now. I am going to a wedding today and I am so self conscious. I wanted to wear my hair down at church last week and I was that annoying girl who keeps brushing her hair to the side every 5 minutes because I was embarrassed that someone behind would see it. (I know, I shouldn’t have cared about my hair at church). Thank you again! I can’t wait to try this! ❤
Dont get scurred ... There are really good affordable dupes on my amazon storefront. You definitely dont need the real deal to get gpod results. But keep me posted and lmk how it goes when u try! 💕🫶
Thank you for this! It’s all about the direction. I was trying to blow dry it upwards hoping for volume. Now that I have seen your technique I pull it down and side to side. My hair is very thin and mostly gray, so I do this all very, very gently and with low heat. I just switch from side to side (I’m not as skilled as you), applying cool air after hot before switching to the next side. I do this three or four times in each direction: downwards and to the side. If I’m heading out the door I like to very gently back comb for a little lift. If it’s bedtime, I go to sleep knowing all is well. ❤
@@Whatizzit You ARE skilled my friend! I’m so glad this technique serves you.. it makes my heart happy to know it helps others. And I LOVE that you are being gentle and utilizing low heat. Yay! Thank you so much for sharing your results, happy styling! 🥰🫶🏽💖
I have a layered bob and the only one who can tame my cowlick is my stylist! Of course when I try to copy what she does, it never works! I will try pulling my hair down , instead of up, like you show here. Thanks!
Sometimes they can become more pronounced or texture changes and they come out of nowhere but hopefully this arms you with some tricks to tame them. 💕🫶
Great video ! 🏅 Entertaining AND educational ⭐ That 7 minutes went quick yet got all info. You seem super nice. I pray God Bless & protect you 🙏🕊️ oh& I'm gonna be trying this for sure. My hair is much shorter than yours but my problem is in same place as yours. I was afraid it's happening simply because I'm aging, but I see very young people can have it too ! Thanks again so much !!!
Omg thank you so much for your kind words! I hope it helps you! Cowlicks effect all ages and seem to annoy them all equally too haha!! But at least we have tricks for them! Happy taming! Thank you so much for watching! Xo 😘 🫶🏽🤗❤️✨
This video has changed my life, seriously! I hope youtube asks me about it on that survey we get on certain videos we watch! Not that I'll be styling my hair like this, but just brushing it differently to get rid of the cowlick as it dries naturally and also brushing it in the direction that hides the cowlick once it's dry... I mean, I'd never thought of doing this before and I've been doing it these last two days, since I saw your video and it works for me. I hardly ever style my hair but this cowlick has always bothered me.... I never even knew you had a name for It!! hahaha (I'm Brazilian) Cowlick!!! hahahaha... Anyway! Thank you so much!!
Omg yay! Your comment means the world to me!! I'm so glad you found it!! Yes even just brushing the opposite direction helps cancel it out!! Hooray!! Thank you so much for watching!! Xo 💕🫶🧡😘🤗
You have beautiful hair so thick and shiny and healthy looking. As an older woman with shorter hair I just comb my wet hair the way I want it to look on the top in the back, put a few of those “old fashioned” silver colored clips in it let it dry . When I remove the clips..no more cow licks!
@@ro13243 That’s perfect! You don’t need to blow dry at all as long as you have the patience to wait until the hair is dry before you remove those clips you’re achieving the same exact results! Great job!! My natural hair is actually pretty fine… I wear 2 rows of hand tied extensions but thank you! 🤫😆🫶🏽😁🥰
I'm definitely going to try this! My unwanted part in the back goes down a good bit further than yours, even. I only wish that it was as short as yours! Lol! Thanks for the tip!
Mine is in the same place as yours and also have one in front. I can take care of the the one in back at first but as the day goes on, it comes back. I will try this.
Twinsies! Let me know how it goes.. sometimes even just an extra 30 seconds of drying it to make sure it has no moisture left is all you need! You got this! 💪🏽💕
@Anne cowlicks are definitely one of life’s very small issues for sure, nothing wrong with making each day a tiny bit brighter if you can by ridding yourself of this little pesky annoyance though, am I right? 😆🤗 I hope life finds you safe and blessed too my friend 🫶💕
I'm a little late to this party, but love this tutorial. I am one of the fortunate few that has a double cowlick on my crown. Yay me. Any tips on how to handle that? Should I treat them as one, or would you do them separately? Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial
@@NessintheWest No you can’t miss this party- it’s an open invitation and unfortunately it’s never-ending! Double?! Are they near each other? Going in the same direction or opposite directions?

If you’re careful, u can use hair relaxer. It works to flatten your hair, IF you are very very careful u can absolutely do it! And it stays like that til new hair grows in, then u haven’t to do it again.
That is a great trick! 🫶🏽 Thank you friend! If I did that I’d prob use something mild like RUSK or keratin.. I think I’d be too scared to try it with sodium hydroxide but if you’re proficient in using relaxers then heck yeah.. go for it! I bet it does really work until new hair grows in… it would def beat fighting it everyday with a blow dryer. Thanks for sharing that tip! 💕
How do you sleep with a cowlick? The cowlick always comes after sleeping, I don't know which hairstyle avoids this. I also don't want to wash my hair every day or style it for so long every day...
@@florathepotato after doing the styling in this video … or even without styling (you can do a cheat version of this by wetting just the cowlick if you have straight-wavy hair ) And then comb the cowlick “shut” or in the opposite direction of how it wants to split so it’s closed and you no longer see the scalp. If you did the styling it’s the same direction that blow dried first( opposite the cowlick) and then secure overnight somehow however is most comportable for you to sleep in but that doesnt leave a crinkle in the hair. 👉🏽
@@florathepotato 👉🏽you secure with bobby pins, duck bill clips, pin curl clips, no-dent clips, slip a silk scarf or bonnet over top and when you unclip and brush down in the morning you should be good to go 👍🏽
Yeah, i'm not good with hair. Whenever i try to do the same thing that someone does on a video it doesn't work out. So, I just blow dry my hair upside down and after, of course my cowlick shows, so, i use a water bottle and soak the area of cowlick and use a fine tooth comb and thoroughly com down the area close to my scalp and wait for it to dry. That works the best for me. Sometimes i will put a tiny bit of shampoo on the area to soak up any potential oil and then spray it down with water.
It sounds like you are pretty good with your hair! The fact that you wet the cowlick down makes me so happy 🤗. I love to hear everyone’s tricks. Every little tip helps. Thanks for sharing. Happy hairstyling! 💕
@@PeaceIsJesusChrist Use a touch of shampoo on the scalp before you spray with a water bottle, then use the fine tooth comb. See if that helps. I comb mine a couple times while drying.
@@newhope8433 You are so sweet to reply! I will try that, thank you! I would love for that to work, as it’s much less time consuming, and I sleep in sponge rollers, so using a hair dryer ruins some of my curls and makes it frizzy (even though it does work really well on the part), and some people use a flat iron, but that didn’t work for me the one time I tried it. Thank you again! 💖💖

What a great question! Absolutely! When the hair is wet, just comb across the cowlick and pin directing hair opposite the way it natural wants to fall. I will make a video for this!
I have two cowlicks at the back and they almost join. I’m assuming I would do this but have just a much bigger area.plus my hair is curly so I don’t wear mine straight. Sadly not sure what to do but thank you for the tips
Try these videos these tips might be better for your curls ….

Ooh thank you for the tips I'll definitely be trying this out... I was wondering can you do a tutorial on the same thing but with the hot tools one step brush? I'd love to learn how to use it for cowlicks especially at the crown as well!! 😊 Appreciate the content 🤗
Great question 🙌🏽 personally I never skip an opportunity to protect my hair even for a few seconds, so I always reapply my heat protectant whenever using my blow dryer or iron on 2nd+ day hair
When the cow licked my head he licked the entire top back of my head, lol! Funny, not funny really. I will try this, though my hair is short, and adapt your technique to my curly and shorter hair. I love your humor, as well. Great personality! Have subscribed my dear!!
I love YOUR humor! The cow licked the whole top 🤣.. so funny! but also not funny bc I want you to be able to control those so they don’t aggravate you 🤗 I’m almost finished editing the “part 2 of curly cowlicks” now! (It has a trick for the crown cowlick in back if you wear your hair curly). “Wrap drying” is the technique I really focus on… a tried and true Vidal Sassoon technique from way back. We want to manipulate the hair back and forth while the roots of the cowlicks are saturated and wet and keep it FLAT to the head, without lifting. Then at the end, when they’re 95% dry blow in the direction you want to wear it in. You can apply this to any area of the head and with any comb or brush. That’s the gist of taming cowlicks my friend! Thank you so much for watching! 💝🙏🏽🥰 I hope some of these tips are helpful! Xo
Oh no! The shampoo is usually the best part! Sometimes it helps to brush all the hair out (and hairspray) really well before you go to the salon bc the shampoo bowl does tend to cause a lot of tangles. I hope that helps 💕
Thankyou Miss Ashley New Hope! I have a big Cowlick on the crown of my head-back right that gives me problems-can’t wait to try method from your WONDERFUL VIDEO. Question-My scalp under the cowlick gets a little painful, when I touch it, and esp 1 or 2 days after shampoo. (I’m an Oldster, at 64 you see, so I wash my hair less-every 5 days approx. And a pull on my hair by the cowlick increases the discomfort; I have short hair). Its not much pain, but am curious as to causes; do others get this, and what your method does to decrease pain.? (I’ll have to try it out)
Oh thank you so much for watching Molly!. 🫶💕 Can I ask you, does it hurt anywhere else, or just in the cowlick area? Does it hurt just if you touch it gently? Or if you brush to much? Or wash too often?. Do you have any dryness or flaking?.
No worries! That’s tough, but u can still work with it. Make sure your cowlicks are good and wet. You might even need to do one at a time and wet the next one as you go bc they might dry too much in between just by the residual air floating around but u want to really make sure your first pass with the brush brings as much of the hair from the cowlick opposite the way it wants to go as possible. You’re cancelling it so against whichever way it grows as hard as possible and straight out the gate. Then follow the steps as normal. That should give you the best result. Attack the strongest one first. Good luck taming my friend!! Thank you for watching!! Xo💓💪🏽🤗✨
Can you comment on the effectiveness of your technique with very fine hair? My hair has become SO fine and it’s made my already severe cowlick a million times worse, and so much more obvious. I remember when I was young my mom was in a CONSTANT battle with this same thing which I now know I inherited from her. She is no longer with us I wish I could tell her about my struggles with this she would sure get a kick out of that fact 😂
I’m so sorry for your loss, but happy your mom would get a kick out of this bond we share! 🫶🏽 I myself have extremely fine, thin hair I wear extensions and cover my scalp with root touch up powder. I’ve been doing hair for 20+ years and am actively seeing clients at my studio who have all kinds of varying textures, degrees of thinning and thickness, and stubborn cowlicks in numerous places on their heads. This technique works on every cowlick, on every texture. Every single time. I vouch for it. I rely on it daily. I teach it to my guests. And whenever I try something different it’s always a problem, and then I have to wet it down and start over with this technique. Now, I will say fine hair can be trickier to work with bc it dries so fast. So my advice to you my friend, is to make sure you work on the lowest air flow setting so you have the most working time. (Highest temperature, lowest setting) Comb the hair opposite the way the cowlick splits as soon as you get out of the shower. And even still i would spray it with a water bottle right before I started drying it. But Dont even wrap it up in a towel . Then sooner rather than later get to blow drying using this technique. Dont wait a long time before drying . The closer the bristles on your comb and brush are together will determine your grip on the hair. Use whatever you have that gives you the best grip on the hair. Most densely packed bristles. And actually pull it in the opposite direction that it wants to go in when you start blow drying and hold it down so it can’t pop up. ( I will make a video for you this just gave me an idea 💡). Without moving your brush, lower the air onto the cowlick and then away so you can dry it while controlling it the entire time but not burning your scalp. Then once the roots look dry wrap dry back and forth to blend that section with the rest of the hair. And final pass in the direction you want to wear it. I hope this is helpful. 💕Keep an eye out for this next video it will be for you. 🎥 “tame your severe cowlicks”
What if you have a cowlick in the middle front at the hairline that forces the hair downward in front of the forehead, like I do? I have a low forehead and want the hair to go away from my face there. I’ve tried confusing the root, but the small section of hair at the cowlick keeps falling forward in an awkward way. Hair spray does not help. Thanks.
Great question - you have to get it when it’s really wet. And go straight back wi the ur first pass of the brush and blow dryer. Start brushing back, then side to side until it’s dry, the. For the last pass, back again until the section of hair falls off the brush. That should give u the best results. Sometimes if the cowlick is really stubborn I start slow. Low air flow but high heat on my dryer to give myself more time to work and control it. I hope this helps but keep me posted! Thank you so much for watching 🧡😘
This could work when i wear my hair flat, but some days i use hot rollers raising the hair in that area. Now what? Also, when i get up i the morning it's prominent. Is there something to KEEP this from happening in the first place?
Such great questions! 🤗 I have some questions back 👇 Are you blow drying before you hot roller set? I would use this technique to do just the cowlick area at minimum to get it under control even if you dont blow the rest of your hair in the morning before you set it. Then so you don't encourage popping up on the cowlick section, but you still get volume and curl, take that whole circular section around the cowlick that you dried and set it in 1 roller so your cowlick isn't splitting anywhere and set it OFF BASE or a little farther back and not straight on top of the section. I hope this answers your question. But Lmk if I didn't and keep me posted if u try. 🫶💝🤗
If you want straight hair, no point in wetting it down. In fact it can be done with a paddle brush, or a denman. Wet hair won't start doing what you want until it's about 70% dry. Paddle brush is essential.
Oh Try these! ... I hope they’re helpful! 🤗🫶🏽 💜Curly Cowlicks | Part 1 | In Front #hairtutorial @ashleyhopehairplay ua-cam.com/video/tpJ6zp2uZhQ/v-deo.html 💜 Curly Cowlicks | PART 2 | The Crown ua-cam.com/video/qrtRfYL9v5k/v-deo.html
HI LADIES, CONCERNEd MAN HERE WITH QUESTIONS : i recently have long hair the length of a women, i started getting this and thought i was balding cuz i would see a line in the back where it parts where i could see my scalp i thought i was balding even tho myu hairs thick the rest of my head and cant see any lines, so this is normal for long haoir? its a cowlick?
Hi friend! Don’t worry! It’s just a cowlick 🌀… cowlicks are a group of hairs that grow in a swirl pattern. The swirl+gravity+where it is on your head determines how much it interferes with the way you want to wear your hair. Cowlicks can be temporarily controlled and styled so they don’t separate as much like in this video. However, whenever u sweat a lot, it rains, or it’s just time to wash again, wetting the hair will make the cowlick return. So this is just a temporary fix if your cowlick really bothers you. You can also use a root touch up powder or spray to color in the scalp where the cowlick splits if you don’t want to get into a whole blow drying routine. That will help you camouflage it and not draw attention to it especially if you have dark hair and lighter skin. Hope this helps❗️💜🫶🏽🥰
Great question 🤗 ideally yes! As long as the hair is fully 100% dry when you’re done with the technique it will stay until the hair gets wet again. (bc you are breaking and re-setting the hydrogen bonds in the hair by Fully wetting and then fully drying it). The key is to keep drying it for a few more seconds than you think it needs bc any moisture left in that area could make the cowlick reappear as it dries fully. 😉🫶
I just wear a hairstyle that hides it ---- I scoop my hair up over the top of the cowlick (either all up or half up) and hold in place with a claw --- takes about 3 seconds. But this technique would be. handy to know if I ever needed to wear a different hair style.

Game changer I’ve been dealing with this for 70 years and this this is the best and only thing I’ve done that actually lasts all day and even into the next day. When I woke up this morning I had no cowlick!! Total game changer you are a lifesaver❤️❤️

thank you so much for this!!!!! i could cry right now, this actually worked! i have very fine hair that makes my crown cowlick look so much worse so i've just worn my hair up out of embarrassment almost every day and i have NEVER found a real solution that worked. you just changed my life!!! 💖

OOOMMMGGG!!! I wish I would have watched this video YEARS ago!! I have struggled and fought with my cowlick at the crown of my head without success-and even used to do hair back in the 80’s and no one ever showed me this simple, effective method to disappear that ugly, bald-looking cowlick! Not even my current stylist who I’ve gone to for 6 years now-she always does an impeccable cut and color and I generally like the way she styles my hair yet that damn cowlick is still there! I can’t wait to see her next and share this with her!
One of those techniques that you’d think EVERYONE would know and share-TY for enlightening those of us like myself who’ve all but given up hiding our crown cowlicks! (Or any cowlick for that matter-it works on the one at the front of my hairline as well!👍🙏🥰✨)
Amazing! I’m so glad you found this tip.. it’s a gem! Now you’ll never have to stress about it again. Happy styling my friend 🥰💕🙌🏽✨🫶🏽

@@ashleyhopehairplay yes!! that prize is yours! And next day update - I was amazed that the hair had still not parted after sleeping on it all night. I didn't even do the back tease part, only the drying part. I have been doing it the opposite - wrong! - way all my life. trying to make it better when really just making worse 😆this is one video you could put 'game changer' in title and it wouldn't be exaggeration 🤣
@@gingermichelle Yay! 😄 I'm so glad to hear it didn't separate overnight... And without any tease... 🫵 you’re a pro!! 💖Maybe I should change the title?! 🤗
I have thinning hair on my crown AND cowlicks. Really didn’t think it would work for me, but it did even on low heat! Great video!
Oh yayyyy! Thank you so much for watching and trying.. I’m so glad this technique helped!! Happy taming!! 🥰🩷🤗
This works! I did it this morning with flat iron on lowest setting. Afterwards I went to gym (chest day so laying on bench) then had fun time with husband on my back, and had two showers. My cowlick is unnoticeable. Thank you so much for making this video.
@@TonyaBayens woo hoo!! I love to hear this! So glad you found it helpful! Thanks so much for watching! 🥰💜🤗
Every once in a while I come across similar video tutorials [not necessarily about hair, but 'how to'....] and after a minute I have to steer away because the individual is just too annoying. You, young lady, are pleasant to listen to because you get to the point, have a very nice voice, your personality comes through and have loads of pertinent info that you explain well. Your lead-in caught my eye because I have quite the stubborn cowlick, made worse by sleeping wrong. At 71 yo, it's been about 40-50 years since I had long layered hair [I so wish I was 25 again] and wearing it a little shorter now just makes the cowlick worse. I'm trying this tomorrow morning! Thanks for sharing, and keep up the good work on your channel!! 😊
Thank you SO much for your kind words my friend! My goal is to give you as much of that info as I can. I’m so glad u found my video and that you were able to sit through it hehe! Thank you for watching and for your kind words, I really appreciate you! Xo 💓🫶🏽😘🥰🤗✨
Ashley, this technique is life-changing!! I thought I was balding for the longest time, but turned out, I now realized it was a cow lick this whole time! Your technique completely changed my mindset and it has boosted my confidence so much. Thank you🥹
Omg you’re so welcome, i’m so glad it helped you!! 🥹🥰🤗 Confidence is my favorite gift to give!! Thank u for watching and for ur kind words! 🫶😘
yeah but how come it seems like nobody else has this problem besides us 🤣
Sorry to say but she is actually suffering from Hair Thinning which is curable via medicines and the right type of supplements. Hair thinning happens because we lack certain specific type of nutrition in our diet over a very long period of time. Even after all the below drying you can still see her scalp. It's nothing to be ashamed about bcz it can happen to anyone.
I'm usually really lazy with my wavy hair but since this started happening to me I have tried everything and it only sort of helps. The follicles actually hurt in that area because the hairs are so adamant about laying a certain way. Feels great to use a scalp brush on the area. Thank you for the tips, will try for sure!
Oh yes a scalp brush is amazing! Like a little massage 💆♀️. The scalp can be sensitive when the hair is pulled in a different direction than how it grows, even a little sore, just be gentle in that area and guide the hair but don't force it. It will get more used to it the more you do it. Similar to building a tolerance for tight ponytails. Good luck styling! Keep me posted. Thank you so much for watching! 💕🫶🤗
I am having the same problem with my hair like it’s my hair hurting when it moves and since that started i have developed a back parting like the video, did you get the hair/follicles hurting sorted out, if yes could you please tell me how. I got stuff of doctor which made it worse 😡
mine are annoying and uncomfortable, but when trying to redirect them it is just painful
Yes I have wavy hair so unless I blow dry it straight I’m screwed. Mine hurts in that area too.
it works🥺i'm so glad i can finally be less scared of people looking at the back of my hair!!!
@@mitz36 yay! No more feeling self-conscious! I’m so glad it worked! Thank u so much for watching! 🫶🏽🥰🤗💜

The best news too is that there’s really hair there! It just likes to dry separated… naughty cowlick! Now it will never worry you again! Thank you so much for watching! 🤗🥰🫶🏽❤️🙌🏽✨
I take that same section of hair after shampooing and put in a hair claw until hair is dry. At night, take the same section of hair and make a pony tail with a nice, thick 'fabric' hair scrunchy and secure high with a small clip, and settle in for a beautiful night's sleep.
Oh great tip! I'll def give that a try next time! Thanks!! 💕🫶
Yeah I do that sometimes too. I don't do it until it's dry but I'll blow dry it half way put in a claw clip, and do my makeup and stuff and then when I dry it the rest of the way it usually stays down.
I'll definitely have to try the sleeping technique out!
Omg! Finally this actually works for me! The small scrunchy high up with just the crown. Once I remove in morning has volume and no more cowlick!! 😊 TY😘😘😘
i've always been insecure about my cow lick, i'll definitely try this out and get back to you 💗

Oooh I love that! Such a great tip! Thank u for sharing I’m going to try!
I’ve been doing this for a while. It’s really the best way! Be careful though…it pulls on your hair a lot! My hair broke off from too much pulling.
Oh im sorry to hear that! What type of brush or tool are you using when you do this wrapping technique? And your hair dryer is set to low until the last pass? I do generally start with the wide end of a comb or a brush that has very few bristles so there isn’t a lot of tension on the hair. The wet brush speed dry vent brush is nice for this bc the air can easily dry the hair and the brush glides very gently through the hair with the littlest tension possible. 👉🏽amzn.to/3ZWgIW9. Or I use a heat resistant comb with wider teeth like this to start before a bristle brush 👉🏽amzn.to/3OXzmXF. I hope this helps! 🤗 Thanks for watching and please keep me posted! ❤️🫶🏽🥰
@ thank you for your reply! I appreciate it. I have bleached hair so it’s prone to breakage at that very spot 😩. I’m taking your advice and ordering a new wet brush like the one you recommended to see if it helps. Thanks! 😊
@ wait! 🙋🏻♀️ question- are you using a volumizing hair product in that area? It may be that and not the brush. If there’s too much stiffness in the product that could also be the cause of the breakage. And I also I make sure the area is detangled before I go at it with the heat. Fragile hair always requires heat protection from the blow dryer and that may also provide some slip which could help minimize tension and breakage.

Oh my goodness I cannot tell you how thankful I am for this video. My hairstylist told me the only thing I can do about a cowlick is to try doing a Brazilian blowout treatment on that area. I am going to try this right now. I am going to a wedding today and I am so self conscious. I wanted to wear my hair down at church last week and I was that annoying girl who keeps brushing her hair to the side every 5 minutes because I was embarrassed that someone behind would see it. (I know, I shouldn’t have cared about my hair at church). Thank you again! I can’t wait to try this! ❤

Thank you for this! It’s all about the direction. I was trying to blow dry it upwards hoping for volume. Now that I have seen your technique I pull it down and side to side. My hair is very thin and mostly gray, so I do this all very, very gently and with low heat. I just switch from side to side (I’m not as skilled as you), applying cool air after hot before switching to the next side. I do this three or four times in each direction: downwards and to the side. If I’m heading out the door I like to very gently back comb for a little lift. If it’s bedtime, I go to sleep knowing all is well. ❤

This video has changed my life, seriously! I hope youtube asks me about it on that survey we get on certain videos we watch! Not that I'll be styling my hair like this, but just brushing it differently to get rid of the cowlick as it dries naturally and also brushing it in the direction that hides the cowlick once it's dry... I mean, I'd never thought of doing this before and I've been doing it these last two days, since I saw your video and it works for me. I hardly ever style my hair but this cowlick has always bothered me.... I never even knew you had a name for It!! hahaha (I'm Brazilian) Cowlick!!! hahahaha... Anyway! Thank you so much!!

You have beautiful hair so thick and shiny and healthy looking. As an older woman with shorter hair I just comb my wet hair the way I want it to look on the top in the back, put a few of those “old fashioned” silver colored clips in it let it dry . When I remove the clips..no more cow licks!
@@ro13243 That’s perfect! You don’t need to blow dry at all as long as you have the patience to wait until the hair is dry before you remove those clips you’re achieving the same exact results!

If you’re careful, u can use hair relaxer. It works to flatten your hair, IF you are very very careful u can absolutely do it! And it stays like that til new hair grows in, then u haven’t to do it again.

How do you sleep with a cowlick? The cowlick always comes after sleeping, I don't know which hairstyle avoids this. I also don't want to wash my hair every day or style it for so long every day...
@@florathepotato after doing the styling in this video …
or even without styling (you can do a cheat version of this by wetting just the cowlick if you have straight-wavy hair )
And then comb the cowlick “shut” or in the opposite direction of how it wants to split so it’s closed and you no longer see the scalp. If you did the styling it’s the same direction that blow dried first( opposite the cowlick) and then secure overnight somehow however is most comportable for you to sleep in but that doesnt leave a crinkle in the hair. 👉🏽
@@florathepotato 👉🏽you secure with bobby pins, duck bill clips, pin curl clips, no-dent clips, slip a silk scarf or bonnet over top and when you unclip and brush down in the morning you should be good to go 👍🏽

Yeah, i'm not good with hair. Whenever i try to do the same thing that someone does on a video it doesn't work out. So, I just blow dry my hair upside down and after, of course my cowlick shows, so, i use a water bottle and soak the area of cowlick and use a fine tooth comb and thoroughly com down the area close to my scalp and wait for it to dry. That works the best for me. Sometimes i will put a tiny bit of shampoo on the area to soak up any potential oil and then spray it down with water.
It sounds like you are pretty good with your hair! The fact that you wet the cowlick down makes me so happy 🤗. I love to hear everyone’s tricks. Every little tip helps. Thanks for sharing. Happy hairstyling! 💕
@@ashleyhopehairplay Same to you!! 😁💞
I wet my cowlick down and use a fine tooth comb in the opposite direction, but once dry, it definitely helps, but it usually partly comes back. :/
@@PeaceIsJesusChrist Use a touch of shampoo on the scalp before you spray with a water bottle, then use the fine tooth comb. See if that helps. I comb mine a couple times while drying.

You are so sweet to reply! I will try that, thank you! I would love for that to work, as it’s much less time consuming, and I sleep in sponge rollers, so using a hair dryer ruins some of my curls and makes it frizzy (even though it does work really well on the part), and some people use a flat iron, but that didn’t work for me the one time I tried it.

Great question 🙌🏽 personally I never skip an opportunity to protect my hair even for a few seconds, so I always reapply my heat protectant whenever using my blow dryer or iron on 2nd+ day hair
When the cow licked my head he licked the entire top back of my head, lol! Funny, not funny really. I will try this, though my hair is short, and adapt your technique to my curly and shorter hair. I love your humor, as well. Great personality! Have subscribed my dear!!
I love YOUR humor! The cow licked the whole top 🤣.. so funny! but also not funny bc I want you to be able to control those so they don’t aggravate you 🤗 I’m almost finished editing the “part 2 of curly cowlicks” now! (It has a trick for the crown cowlick in back if you wear your hair curly).
“Wrap drying” is the technique I really focus on… a tried and true Vidal Sassoon technique from way back. We want to manipulate the hair back and forth while the roots of the cowlicks are saturated and wet and keep it FLAT to the head, without lifting. Then at the end, when they’re 95% dry blow in the direction you want to wear it in. You can apply this to any area of the head and with any comb or brush. That’s the gist of taming cowlicks my friend!
Thank you so much for watching! 💝🙏🏽🥰 I hope some of these tips are helpful! Xo
Unfortunately, I have cowlicks all over my head. It’s painful when I’m in the shampoo bowl at the salon 😢
Oh no! The shampoo is usually the best part! Sometimes it helps to brush all the hair out (and hairspray) really well before you go to the salon bc the shampoo bowl does tend to cause a lot of tangles. I hope that helps 💕
Will be trying this. Thanks!
Oh great! Let me know if it helps you any 🤗
Thankyou Miss Ashley New Hope! I have a big Cowlick on the crown of my head-back right that gives me problems-can’t wait to try method from your WONDERFUL VIDEO.
Question-My scalp under the cowlick gets a little painful, when I touch it, and esp 1 or 2 days after shampoo. (I’m an Oldster, at 64 you see, so I wash my hair less-every 5 days approx. And a pull on my hair by the cowlick increases the discomfort; I have short hair). Its not much pain, but am curious as to causes; do others get this, and what your method does to decrease pain.? (I’ll have to try it out)
Oh thank you so much for watching Molly!. 🫶💕 Can I ask you, does it hurt anywhere else, or just in the cowlick area? Does it hurt just if you touch it gently? Or if you brush to much? Or wash too often?. Do you have any dryness or flaking?.
I have a double cow lick one on the crown like yours and one at the front on the side parting ……… help! Thank you so much
No worries! That’s tough, but u can still work with it. Make sure your cowlicks are good and wet. You might even need to do one at a time and wet the next one as you go bc they might dry too much in between just by the residual air floating around but u want to really make sure your first pass with the brush brings as much of the hair from the cowlick opposite the way it wants to go as possible. You’re cancelling it so against whichever way it grows as hard as possible and straight out the gate. Then follow the steps as normal. That should give you the best result. Attack the strongest one first. Good luck taming my friend!! Thank you for watching!! Xo💓💪🏽🤗✨
Hi Ashley thank you so much for taking the time to advise me. I will feedback results. Love and light cheriexxxx

Can you comment on the effectiveness of your technique with very fine hair? My hair has become SO fine and it’s made my already severe cowlick a million times worse, and so much more obvious. I remember when I was young my mom was in a CONSTANT battle with this same thing which I now know I inherited from her. She is no longer with us I wish I could tell her about my struggles with this she would sure get a kick out of that fact 😂
I’m so sorry for your loss, but happy your mom would get a kick out of this bond we share! 🫶🏽
I myself have extremely fine, thin hair I wear extensions and cover my scalp with root touch up powder. I’ve been doing hair for 20+ years and am actively seeing clients at my studio who have all kinds of varying textures, degrees of thinning and thickness, and stubborn cowlicks in numerous places on their heads. This technique works on every cowlick, on every texture. Every single time. I vouch for it. I rely on it daily. I teach it to my guests. And whenever I try something different it’s always a problem, and then I have to wet it down and start over with this technique.
Now, I will say fine hair can be trickier to work with bc it dries so fast. So my advice to you my friend, is to make sure you work on the lowest air flow setting so you have the most working time. (Highest temperature, lowest setting) Comb the hair opposite the way the cowlick splits as soon as you get out of the shower. And even still i would spray it with a water bottle right before I started drying it. But Dont even wrap it up in a towel . Then sooner rather than later get to blow drying using this technique. Dont wait a long time before drying . The closer the bristles on your comb and brush are together will determine your grip on the hair. Use whatever you have that gives you the best grip on the hair. Most densely packed bristles. And actually pull it in the opposite direction that it wants to go in when you start blow drying and hold it down so it can’t pop up. ( I will make a video for you this just gave me an idea 💡). Without moving your brush, lower the air onto the cowlick and then away so you can dry it while controlling it the entire time but not burning your scalp. Then once the roots look dry wrap dry back and forth to blend that section with the rest of the hair. And final pass in the direction you want to wear it.
I hope this is helpful. 💕Keep an eye out for this next video it will be for you.

What if you have a cowlick in the middle front at the hairline that forces the hair downward in front of the forehead, like I do? I have a low forehead and want the hair to go away from my face there. I’ve tried confusing the root, but the small section of hair at the cowlick keeps falling forward in an awkward way. Hair spray does not help. Thanks.
Great question - you have to get it when it’s really wet. And go straight back wi the ur first pass of the brush and blow dryer. Start brushing back, then side to side until it’s dry, the. For the last pass, back again until the section of hair falls off the brush. That should give u the best results. Sometimes if the cowlick is really stubborn I start slow. Low air flow but high heat on my dryer to give myself more time to work and control it. I hope this helps but keep me posted! Thank you so much for watching 🧡😘
This could work when i wear my hair flat, but some days i use hot rollers raising the hair in that area. Now what? Also, when i get up i the morning it's prominent. Is there something to KEEP this from happening in the first place?
Such great questions! 🤗 I have some questions back 👇
Are you blow drying before you hot roller set?
I would use this technique to do just the cowlick area at minimum to get it under control even if you dont blow the rest of your hair in the morning before you set it. Then so you don't encourage popping up on the cowlick section, but you still get volume and curl, take that whole circular section around the cowlick that you dried and set it in 1 roller so your cowlick isn't splitting anywhere and set it OFF BASE or a little farther back and not straight on top of the section. I hope this answers your question. But Lmk if I didn't and keep me posted if u try. 🫶💝🤗
Oh thank you!!!!
@@BrenMinney thank you for watching friend! Xo 🫶🏽

If you want straight hair, no point in wetting it down. In fact it can be done with a paddle brush, or a denman. Wet hair won't start doing what you want until it's about 70% dry. Paddle brush is essential.
What about for curly hair though? 😢
Oh Try these! ... I hope they’re helpful! 🤗🫶🏽

HI LADIES, CONCERNEd MAN HERE WITH QUESTIONS : i recently have long hair the length of a women, i started getting this and thought i was balding cuz i would see a line in the back where it parts where i could see my scalp i thought i was balding even tho myu hairs thick the rest of my head and cant see any lines, so this is normal for long haoir? its a cowlick?
Hi friend! Don’t worry! It’s just a cowlick 🌀… cowlicks are a group of hairs that grow in a swirl pattern. The swirl+gravity+where it is on your head determines how much it interferes with the way you want to wear your hair. Cowlicks can be temporarily controlled and styled so they don’t separate as much like in this video. However, whenever u sweat a lot, it rains, or it’s just time to wash again, wetting the hair will make the cowlick return. So this is just a temporary fix if your cowlick really bothers you. You can also use a root touch up powder or spray to color in the scalp where the cowlick splits if you don’t want to get into a whole blow drying routine. That will help you camouflage it and not draw attention to it especially if you have dark hair and lighter skin. Hope this helps❗️💜🫶🏽🥰
Just what I needed
@@StyleAudit1A yayyyy I’m so glad you found it helpful! 🙌🏽🥰
😮 OMG thank you! I have been making it worse. Game changer video😮
Omg Judith! You made my morning! So happy you found it! Happy cowlick taming! 🧡🤗❣️
Just curious will this method last from shampoo to shampoo?
Great question 🤗 ideally yes! As long as the hair is fully 100% dry when you’re done with the technique it will stay until the hair gets wet again. (bc you are breaking and re-setting the hydrogen bonds in the hair by Fully wetting and then fully drying it). The key is to keep drying it for a few more seconds than you think it needs bc any moisture left in that area could make the cowlick reappear as it dries fully. 😉🫶
I wish I'd seen this video ages ago. Thank you!
I'm so glad you found it now! . Happy cowlick taming!! Xo 🤗🫶✨
Looks great - thanks!
Oh yay that makes me so happy! 🤗💕
TY I really needed that ✌🏼🌷

Glad it was helpful! 💕
Omg this is a game changer thank you!!
Yasssss!!! So glad it’s helpful!! That’s what I like to hear girl! 🫶🏽💕🤗
I just wear a hairstyle that hides it ---- I scoop my hair up over the top of the cowlick (either all up or half up) and hold in place with a claw --- takes about 3 seconds. But this technique would be. handy to know if I ever needed to wear a different hair style.
Ooooh I Like that trick! And I love a good half up hairstyle too! Thank you I’ll try that!! 🫶🏽🥰
I have the same cowlick and never noticed it before until recently and nearly had a heart attack because I thought I was losing hair smhhh 😅
@@natch1908 I know right? That first look back there is like 👀 what?! 😳Why?!!😫 oh hell no! 😡🤣
what do you do with curly hair?
@@NadineGibble I had to use a mannequin to demo this because my natural hair is straight but hopefully these help a little 🫶🏽
