aaw no, yeah it kinda looks like that for me too, it always splits back there maiing the hair look thinner, uneaven and messy. BUT now we can style it and rule the world mohahah! (if it is thinner tho, try to massage often, and add castor oil)
I thought I was the only one with this split. ive been obessing over it. I'll definitely give this a try! xx PS: guys I left this comment two years ago and just realized 701 people came here and are the same. 🤣 sending good vibes to all of you 💜
I thought I was the only one with this problem. I was obsessing over it. I knew I’ve had it for a while but lately I’ve been noticing it a lot more and it was kind of depressing me. It looks like a bald spot. I will definitely try this out. Thanks for posting this
Claudia Hernandez I always notice mine when I’m at the hair salon because I can see the back of my head with their double mirrors. I’m always horrified at how crazy it looks. I have a feeling my cowlick is probably getting worse because I started sleeping on my back a few years ago. Going to try this trick for sure!
I have not been able to wear my hair parted like I used to because of this problem. I only part it an inch in the front and keep checking the back of my hair with a hand mirror throughout the day. I have to use hair gel after washing and Paul Mitchell Freeze and Shine hair spray in the back of my hair plus a really fat curling iron. I will definitely try this method. Also problematic is thinning at the temples if I wear my hair back. I didn't realize so many of us have this problem. I used to have so much more hair. I also have been increasing my biotin supplement dose hoping that helps as well.
@@darlenenapoletano5072 Exactly the same hair situation here! I'm also taking a biotin supplement and B12+Folic Acid to help. I dread going to the hair salon because I know i'll see my head/hair in angles that I would rather not. :/
I'm watching this video at 3am my time, because I was yet again obsessing over my hair split. Had no clue it was this common, was freaking out I'm going bald. It occurred out of the blue last year, and I'm sure I lost more hair stressing about this. Glad to find this video, not so much for the styling solution, but to find that I'm not alone. Thank you!
I just found this a few days ago / noticed it and was going into depressive mode too!! I thought I thought I was going bald but it’s been the same for days
@@Sarahh_ Yeah, it stays the same, and boy am I glad that it isn't balding related! Still unhappy that it is there, but at least not a bald patch. I have consciously changed the hair parting side, so it stays covered as much as possible. And obsessively oiling every week.
@@ks2303 I am looking into weekend home treatments to make my hair fuller and prettier like it used to be. its still thick but with age it gets lighter I noticed. was obsessing over this and I thought I was going bald or had alopecia . im glad I came across this video and comments. gives me SOO much relief. any healthy suggesting for oils/etc? I have super curly thick hair (not coarse though)
I'm depressed about the possibility of losing my hair and that's why I'm here too. My hair has changed so much over the last year or two. Hope you have success with it!
Thank you so much for sharing this tip. I have the dreaded back part as well and I’m so self-conscious about it that I’ve literally worn my hair in a ponytail for over a year.
No problem, I’m glad you found it helpful! Another tip is when you’re just hanging out at home or going to bed, pin your hair in the opposite direction that it’s shifting to. It will train the hair follicle to grow where it should
Oh my goodness I'm so happy I found this video. My part splits in two and it looks like a huge bald spot! I hate it. Sometimes my hair would look sooo nice and then when I look at the back there it is... all scalp showing 😭😭😭 thanks for the tip! Will try.
It's a whirl. Where your hair grows in a Swirl. Some people call it a cowlick. It is a real pain in the butt. I saw a video of a guy taking the ladies hair like you did, but he did a little back comb, sprayed it let it dry and then used a flat iron or curling iron on the teased hair. I tried it and it really helped to keep my hair from splitting. I am a lot older and have fought this my whole life. My husband says I have a bald spot! It's not a damn bald spot lol. Some of us are just born with strange hair growth in the back of our heads. Thanks for the video!
I’ll shave my head once I get older, which I’ve been dying to do. Also, having perms worked for me. Or combing your hair while damp at the direction you want.
Don't let a stupid cowlick get you down! I know it sucks because I have one too but at least there's something we can do about it! Yes it is super annoying but we can deal with it!
I just recently started having my hair split like this, but mine is more to the side of my head, ive been stressing about it because I thought I was going bald. My hair is one of the few thing I was really confident about and now I'm becoming insecure about it because of it
A little late but did u fix it, cuz i have the same problem, I part my hair from the middle but at the end of my head it goes to the side. i always thought it's becuse i am bald and dont have enough hair
Thank you for sharing! I hate my split and I thought I was going bald. I’m so happy I’m not the only one with this problem and that is so easy to fix!!
I’ve been wearing a messy bun for YEARS because of this problem. I don’t even like to wash my hair anymore. (Dry shampoo and shower cap showers) because having to brush/comb it when it’s wet trying to find that perfect, magical “fix” is just too depressing. I will literally not go out or just put my hair back up in a messy bun. I have hair loss and hair damage now at my crown because of always wearing it up so it makes it even worse. Seeing this gives me hope. I’m gonna go wash my hair and try it out. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Even if it doesn’t work out for me (I’m hair styling challenged) - just knowing I’m not the only one helps.
I thought I was losing my hair!!! My hair just started changing (almost 30 now) and I was freaking out because I have thick hair but I noticed this spot today and was hysterical, Thank you for this!!!
This happened to me!! I’m 24 and last year my hair started changing, all of a sudden I have a part in the back of my hair. It feels like it’s thinning, is it not?
I’ve been doing some reading up on this and I’m pretty sure it is called a double crown. The hair grows in two different patterns and causes the gaps. I discovered mine about a year ago and I have been so self conscious of it ever since. I’m constantly touching where the split is to make sure it’s covered. I never wear it down anymore but even when I tie it up it still splits!! I think it looks even worse when it splits tied up so now I’m out of options. I thought it was something new that had started happening but I’ve since figured out that I always had it, just my hair was a lot thicker up until now so I never noticed. It is so thin these days it gets me down and I don’t know how to fix it.
I honestly thought that I was balding, too. I was pretty horrified. My hair is very thick from the neck down and it reaches to the back of my knees, but I didn't notice until a few months back that on the back of my head I have this cowlick or double crown that you mentioned. I ignored it, but decided not to anymore because I'm feeling self conscious. What I found is that you can "train" your hair growth pattern. The gist is that after drenching that area of your hair (ideally at night after showering), brush it/part it in the direction that you want it to be, clip it down and let it air-dry. After at least a week or two of doing this, your hair should get accustomed to growing in that new direction. I'm actually going to try this starting tomorrow night and I will document my results. Hopefully it will work.
My hair got thin and yuck and then noticed the "bald" spot. Naturally I thought the same so I shaved my hair off and now today, 8 months later, I'm discovering it's something i can't help 🙃 🙃🙃
I have exactly same problem and always ended having pony as u said... and i thought i am the only one blessed with this lol.. thanks for sharing this tip. And it made me more comfortable to know there are more ppl with this dreaded back part.
I can't stress it enough how grateful I am for this video! I've become so self conscious about this that I've worn my hair up everyday for about 2 years! Could be more honestly 😩 So excited to try this 😚
I developed a hard part in the back since growing out my hair, and what worked for me was thinning out the bulk below the part, since the hair now has more freedom to move around. I don't know if this is a solution for long hair, but for my short bob, it worked for me! I thought I was going bald.
😮 wow! My head at the back looks exactly like yours! 😂 I use hair building fibers on that spot to cover it. In Canada its called Toppik powder. But I'm 45 and this has been a problem since I was 20 years old. I always thought it was a weird cow lick. Lol thanks for this demonstration. ❤😊
Loanne me too. It’s at the crown but off to the sides. If I parted my hair in the middle, I’d have a big Y on my head. I hate that I’ll have to style it. Used to enjoy not having to do that every day.
THANK YOU. Me, my mom and my grandmom ALL have this. It's hereditary I think; I tried this and it worked You are a life saver I thought having my hair in pony tails was making me go bald!
thank you for showing this video..I have this issue my boyfriend notices the issue and proceeds to ask me if i knew i had a bald spot . I was devastated ...So thanks again it worked ..A tip on the how to curl all you hair put hair up i a high ponytail then curl as many sections as you want, Also the fabric sponge twisty curlers you wear over night they work great...good luck
My mom has that and me being only 19yrs have...I have my whole attention on that part like every time i do oiling or massage or shampoo or any mask , i focus on that part ..
I just discovered having the same problem!! Makes me think hoe long have I had it and no one telling me! It's thr most annoying. I'm sure I've never had it before. ! But thanks for the tip. I also tried grabbing thr back of thr hair from thr crown and blow drying it with a round brush. It works too.
LITERALLY SAME. I had it when I was little because my hair is wavy but after I started damaging my hair with heat and dye, it got so much worse and now that I’m an adult I notice it literally every time my hair is down and it’s so annoying😭!!! Thank you for this!!
You are a godsend! My husband just recently mentioned how my hairline always does the “squiggly crooked line” all the way to the back of my head. Since I never really look at the back of my head I had never noticed it, but dear lord it so noticeable! Looks exactly like yours, and since I part my har to the side it looks even worst! I’ve been going crazy trying to figure out how to fix it, and googling it I found your video. Thank you!!!!!
When I was younger I did not have this..I'm at 40 and for years now my hair has changed and my 3a-c curls are coming out straight and flat at the roots🙈😔😛😂It makes me sad to the point of melancholy in the past!! What I do is I tease my hair (back comb) all around that back area and use the schwarzkopf got2b glued hairspray only on the roots💖😍💖 This works for me!! Side note : I've been doing this for years and notice that in winter when its humid as hell were I live I need a cowash every four days because it gets sticky and matted fast..in summer I can go a week or so between washes,plus I'm diving in the ocean everyday so that clears out products also !! Take Care All 💕✨🌹🌈🌺💙💖💎💜🥂💄💚🌸⚡💫
Same exact issue here. I have thick, dark curly hair. My hair is also layered. Idk if I had this forever but just noticed it last week and I’ve been so depressed thinking of it and legit thought I was going bald. Was going to even set an appt with a dermatologist . But my mom and friends said they think it’s a cowlick because i don’t even lose hair! Glad I’m not the only one
Oh goodness! Thank you so much! I am 54 and my hair has thinned a bit at the front and I suddenly noticed something similar to yours on my crown. I was so scared I was going bald, but I think it has probably always been there but my hair just got a bit thinner and I could see it more. Plus, who looks at the back of their head, so it's probably been there for ages!
Me too! Mines in a Y shape though and I have fine hair so it’s easy to see. Looks like I’m going bald. Which I actually may be because my hair has been shedding a lot for several months.
I've used a lot of different shampoos and activators from few countries loads of products for years nothing helped as much as diet, quiting smoking& alcohol, rice water is amazing Google it, hemp oil and shampoos helped a lot. Try neck massages too.
Oh My Goodness!! Same here!! I never had this until I reached my 30s.. I have been sooo self conscious.. so uncomfortable.. I hate it. Will definitely try this whole combing backwards. I had tried blow drying it but that only works the very same day I wash it.. afterwards, with the natural hair oils, it starts parting again!!!!! uuuuuggggghhhhhhhh anyways, will try this. Thanks for this video ♥
When I was 12, I still remember 18 years later when I first got paranoid about this same exact thing! A boy was standing behind me in the lunch line and said “hey everybody look! Katie is bald!” A few years later, I went to a hair salon and asked her if she had any solutions. She said “honey I’m a beautician, not a magician.” I was mortified! A couple years ago though I finally started doing the same thing you’re doing and I’m not self conscious about it anymore!
I’m so sorry that happened, people can be so cruel. You’re definitely not alone in this, it’s extremely common. I’m happy to hear you’re not self conscious about it anymore!
Katie Huntsinger girl same i used to get so scared when someone was standing behind me i would always tie my hair or push all my hair backwards so people dont see it
I have fine wavy/curly hair and I noticed the same thing happening at the right side of the back of my head. It would be very visible whenever I leaned over to pick up stuff Q_Q It made me very self conscious at work but it's nice to know that it's a normal thing and I'm not balding haha (I'm only a 24 yr old woman this would be shattering to me)
I also never had this problem when I was a kid . I am glad I came across this video . I have thin fine hair , so I don't really do much with it . I will have to give this a try . 😁
omgggg this only recently happened to me a few months ago!!! it’s so annoying and makes me so self conscious bc i’ve never seen anyone else with it especially around my campus and i don’t wear my hair up so it’s such a struggle. it also hurts sometimes like it feels sore when i try to mess with it
im so sorry to hear that! have you spoken to a doctor or dermatologist? Mine turned out to be hair loss due to a vitamin d deficiency. I have a few videos on my channel with updates on the hairloss issue. Check them out to see if you have any similar symptoms!
@@LayanBee OMG I did not know deficiency could cause cowlicks I'm so glad I read the comments because I also had low vitamin D last blood test and have had hair fall problems but I didn't realise that was related to the cowlick, I thought I only just noticed it! (P.S. maybe you should link the vids in description)
My hair is so beautiful,healthy & shiny and i have that annoying split in the back of the head also and i am always trying to fix it,feels like i rarely leave it out because of this problem..thanks for this video.☺💕
I commented my technique, but want to add, if you have this AND also notice alot of hair fall in the shower or while brushing/combing, I'd recommend seeing your Primary Care Physician to have your thyroid levels checked and/ or a dermatologist, because there can be a genetic type of hair loss in women in this area of the head. I have both issues.
Exactly! No matter how I do it hair I’ll think I look good then feel the air on that part and reach back…agh. Such a simple non-threatening thing but causes so much angst. Thx for sharing
Oh god me tooooooooo! This is literally the only video on UA-cam about this god forsaken issue! It bugs me 24/7 - literally. All I do is rejig my hair constantly to make sure it’s covered. Ugh.
I have that too. My husband lovingly calls it my "bald spot." I hate that term because it's not a bald stop, just an annoying "part" that is built into my hair. Ugh. I'm thinking about using a clip-in hair extension to cover it, but that would probably be visible and would look even worse. Double ugh. Any method used flies out the window once there's a little wind outside. 😊
Thank you for this! Was getting ready for a wedding the other day and went to go check my hair in the back and thought my hair was thinning. Mine looks exactly like yours!
I've struggled my whole life with the back part, I tried this method a few years ago without much success. I found it would only hold together for a short time before it split open again.
I'm 43 and it just started happening to me. I would use a ton of mini bobby pins to hold it in place but then the split would separate the hair on the right side of my head. Most people think I'm in my early 30s but the bald spot started to make me feel so bad I'd have panic attacks getting ready to go out. I know it sound superficial but I take care of myself (diet and exercise) and my hair made me feel inadequate. I also have very long hair that's actually thick and really curly except that one part. I can't wait to try this.
Ugh I have this too! My hair just wants to be draped from that center point in all directions of my head haha. I have straight long hair that falls down smoothly, except for this annoying piece of hair on top of the cowlick that wants to go in the opposite direction and just stands up like a weirdo all day 😂😅. I have been backcombing it multiple times a day to keep it stuck to the rest, but I definitely need to buy some hairspray cause it won’t last long.
This is a pretty good tip. But also time consuming if you're in a hurry. So I wanted to ask how you can solve this problem permanently without using any sprays. Like for most people the hair just doesn't split like that.
26 year old male with fine long hair here. I've got this kind of thing though it isn't as noticeable until I sleep on it. I can see it before I shower in the morning, but even with clean and dried hair it's still noticeable if I shine bright light on it. Worried it might be a sign of balding, but it might not be. Everyone I've asked says it's just my part and it's normal, that I've just got fine hair and that's making the scalp under my parting more noticeable, and I've got the feeling it might have become more visible since I went a few years letting my hair get really really oily and sleeping on it a day or two before washing it multiple times a week. So it's possible I've just damaged my hair somehow and I need to take better care of it. Really hoping it's not a sign of balding, not sure what my chances are since the men on my mom's side of the family didn't go bald, but the men on my dad's side all went bald except for my dad which is interesting. I could be wrong and I could be starting to show signs of balding, which is why when the whole social distancing thing is over and I can go out again I'm booking an appointment with a dermatologist to look into this. If it is something like that I'm going to do my best to stop it and make it look as good as possible if I can't.
waj9876 Hey please don’t despair. I very much doubt your3 going bald. I’m You tubing this problem because I’ve suddenly discovered it during lockdown. I’ve not had my hair cut for 16 weeks. Usually a 4 to 5 wk person. I’m female. I’ve got thick, layered (because it’s so thick) wavy hair and it’s usually a job to see my scalp. But I’ve just noticed a parting on the crown at the back of my head and I’m so paranoid about it. I feel like it’s an old lady bald spot because I’m also letting my hair go grey. But I know I’m not going bald and it’s just my hair parting on my crown, probably showing up because my hair has got longer and I need to find a way to deal with it. Don’t go wasting money on a dermatologist. See your hairdresser first and mention it.
I have this split too. i hate it . I use Lóreal magic retouch( MAGIC ROOT COVER UP) after I washed my hair and is dry. iI use my natural shade( medium brown ) and works pretty well at least to camouflage the spot
Trina Montano I like that as well. I can't stand when the person goes on and on about everything except with the videos about. Thank you for getting to the point❤️
I noticed it when I got trichotillomania but now that I’ve stopped pulling that spot for almost a year, it’s still there I thought it was a bald spot that never grew back but now I’m relieved that it’s not just me I was depressed
I have it and I HATE IT!!!!! I'm 27 and I probably noticed it 2 years ago. I hate that I have to "fix" that part of my hair even when I'm just wanting to have my hair down and not wanting to do any hairdo. It sucks😭
I finally found a person who has the same problem as me! It started when i became 17 and its been 5 years and no sign to grow back. So i do the same thing everyday. And its really annoying!
Mind blown! I know this is old but I just found it!! Ps. My tip for getting the back really curled nice is I start from the back and work my way forward when curling my hair! I also do two layers, splitting around the circumference (?) Of my head
I have it to I wear my hair up 90 percent of my life and mine comes back in like 3 hours once I think it's gone it comes back mine is far left of the back of my head
Thank you! I also have this problem since I have gotten older. I tried everything and nothing worked so I'm going to try what you did just now today I think it's going to work! I'm so glad to know that I am not the only one with this problem. That's why I always wear my hair up in a bun but no not today. I'm going to try this! Thank you for posting this! 😚
Happy to view how you addressed this problem...however, flat iron on hair sprayed hair, then tease it?.. seems to me the abuse will cause more harm! I say dampen with water, blow dr in desired directio then iron it close to part only and then spray
Girl, as so, many of your followers have stated - I am so glad that I am not the only one out there with this problem. Would you consider doing a video adding some sort of nano Weft extension, or some other type of extension to help hide this problem?
I have 3 of those on the back of my head (technical term is hair whorls, swirls or crowns). My grandma would call them remolinos (I probably spelled it wrong so don't judge me) and I usually fix it by spraying water on my hair and using a hair dryer to manipulate the pattern as I dry it again and that normally fixes it for me. Then I use hairspray to hold it in place.
I've always had this, ever since I was a toddler! Having short hair hid it but whenever my hair gets past shoulder length it becomes very prominent. I've always just thought that even though I have thick hair I must be doing something to cause a bald spot there (despite there obviously being hair there).
Curling tip for you, have a large wide or full length mirror behind you at an angle so you can see the back of your head when you are curling the back, makes a huge difference for me anyway. Plus helps while you hide the cowlick. I have always worn my hair long and not that it is cut to an above the shoulder shag POP goes the cowlick... Super annoying so thanks for your trick. Appreciate it!
I’ve only just started to see a gap in my hair and a pink scalp showing through. I have very thick and wavy hair. My thoughts are it’s appeared because my layered hair has got longer so it hasn’t got the same lift it used to have and I’ve not coloured it during lockdown. I’m grey under my blonde. I’m wanting to keep my hair longer and try out my natural grey look too, which is why I You Tubed this problem. Glad to see it’s a common problem for people with thick hair and it’s not just because I’m going grey. Thanks for the video and tips.
I loved this video. Thank you, girl! I have the same problem and I believe it's because I've switched to sleeping on my back to avoid wrinkles.☺️ I'm about to try your trick now!!
I'd never noticed this for me until maybe a year or two ago and now I'm obsessed over it. I loathe the idea of a "work from office" day where I'd go in and show this off- you mentioning you started to sleep on your back made me think... I started doing that some years back because of my thigh tattoo :joy: If that's really what caused this bs.... lol
Im so insecure about it since one time I was out with my boyfriend and he was walking behind me, he asked me jokingly: you are bald at the back of your head! Haha!!
Everyone kept making fun of me saying I have a bald spot and it’s made me so insecure, this videos just helped me realise I’m not the only one
Same here 🙁
aaw no, yeah it kinda looks like that for me too, it always splits back there maiing the hair look thinner, uneaven and messy. BUT now we can style it and rule the world mohahah! (if it is thinner tho, try to massage often, and add castor oil)

SAAAAMMMMEEE and i have a full head of hair but theres that one spot at the top that looks so fucking bald and i couldnt understand how 😭😭😭

to everyone reading this: It’s gonna be okay

Nice to see a young person with this problem. My hair seems healthy and thick, but I have that little split in back now. GRRRRRRRR.
Thank you so much for sharing this tip. I have the dreaded back part as well and I’m so self-conscious about it that I’ve literally worn my hair in a ponytail for over a year.
No problem, I’m glad you found it helpful! Another tip is when you’re just hanging out at home or going to bed, pin your hair in the opposite direction that it’s shifting to. It will train the hair follicle to grow where it should
Layan Bee wait how do you do that? Can u make a video?
By making a ponytail does it helps to regrow the hair on that spot ?
@@tanmay_6363Not necessarily. I had this worse when I was young and it got less severe as I got older and trained it more. It’s just a cowlick.
Oh my goodness I'm so happy I found this video. My part splits in two and it looks like a huge bald spot! I hate it. Sometimes my hair would look sooo nice and then when I look at the back there it is... all scalp showing 😭😭😭 thanks for the tip! Will try.
It's a whirl. Where your hair grows in a Swirl. Some people call it a cowlick. It is a real pain in the butt. I saw a video of a guy taking the ladies hair like you did, but he did a little back comb, sprayed it let it dry and then used a flat iron or curling iron on the teased hair. I tried it and it really helped to keep my hair from splitting. I am a lot older and have fought this my whole life. My husband says I have a bald spot! It's not a damn bald spot lol. Some of us are just born with strange hair growth in the back of our heads. Thanks for the video!
anyone else bummed the solution is hairspray, flat ironing and teasing or is it just me?
Yeah me too :/ Also sucks that this isn’t a permanent solution like i thought it would be :(
Damn, glad I read this comment.... on to the next
I’ll shave my head once I get older, which I’ve been dying to do. Also, having perms worked for me. Or combing your hair while damp at the direction you want.
Reverse perm

I noticed this yesterday and can't stop thinking about it
I’ve just noticed it
I’m so depressed
Don't let a stupid cowlick get you down! I know it sucks because I have one too but at least there's something we can do about it! Yes it is super annoying but we can deal with it!
How is it now?
I just recently started having my hair split like this, but mine is more to the side of my head, ive been stressing about it because I thought I was going bald. My hair is one of the few thing I was really confident about and now I'm becoming insecure about it because of it
Same😐
Had major hair shedding due to TE then the stress of it all made it worse and hair got thin. Now the crown part showing this big part cowlick bites 😕
A little late but did u fix it, cuz i have the same problem, I part my hair from the middle but at the end of my head it goes to the side. i always thought it's becuse i am bald and dont have enough hair
@@nancy9858 omg same i have that issue too but now its worse for some reason, wearing half up half down kinda covers it tho
It’s even worse when you have fine thin hair I cant use heat or hair spray
also I have the same problem
Yes I have the same problem! I 70 and had chemo twice in the last 20 years. That did a nunber on my hair. Now to try this!
RIGHT

This video has some different tips. Maybe you will find them more helpful! 😊
I hear ya autoimmune thin fine hair its so noticeable and devastating..hugs ladies
this is my first time growing my hair out ive been thinking i was going bald for the past 8 hrs XD
i dont feel so alone anymore :)
Thank you for sharing! I hate my split and I thought I was going bald. I’m so happy I’m not the only one with this problem and that is so easy to fix!!
I’ve been wearing a messy bun for YEARS because of this problem. I don’t even like to wash my hair anymore. (Dry shampoo and shower cap showers) because having to brush/comb it when it’s wet trying to find that perfect, magical “fix” is just too depressing. I will literally not go out or just put my hair back up in a messy bun. I have hair loss and hair damage now at my crown because of always wearing it up so it makes it even worse.
Seeing this gives me hope. I’m gonna go wash my hair and try it out. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Even if it doesn’t work out for me (I’m hair styling challenged) - just knowing I’m not the only one helps.

I thought I was losing my hair!!! My hair just started changing (almost 30 now) and I was freaking out because I have thick hair but I noticed this spot today and was hysterical, Thank you for this!!!
what did you do
This happened to me!! I’m 24 and last year my hair started changing, all of a sudden I have a part in the back of my hair. It feels like it’s thinning, is it not?
same but i’m 18!
@@kelseylafever9562 bro im 15 like wtf😂
Omg me too I’m 21 and noticed this today I was absolutely panicking thinking I was loosing hair
I’ve been doing some reading up on this and I’m pretty sure it is called a double crown. The hair grows in two different patterns and causes the gaps. I discovered mine about a year ago and I have been so self conscious of it ever since. I’m constantly touching where the split is to make sure it’s covered. I never wear it down anymore but even when I tie it up it still splits!! I think it looks even worse when it splits tied up so now I’m out of options.
I thought it was something new that had started happening but I’ve since figured out that I always had it, just my hair was a lot thicker up until now so I never noticed. It is so thin these days it gets me down and I don’t know how to fix it.
Tell me about it
I feel the same way
try having a double crown with fine hair. definitely looks like balding
@@DB-ck4bj it’s really thin these days, it definitely looks like I have a bald spot 😩 even right after showering it splits immediately 😟
I honestly thought that I was balding, too. I was pretty horrified. My hair is very thick from the neck down and it reaches to the back of my knees, but I didn't notice until a few months back that on the back of my head I have this cowlick or double crown that you mentioned. I ignored it, but decided not to anymore because I'm feeling self conscious. What I found is that you can "train" your hair growth pattern. The gist is that after drenching that area of your hair (ideally at night after showering), brush it/part it in the direction that you want it to be, clip it down and let it air-dry. After at least a week or two of doing this, your hair should get accustomed to growing in that new direction. I'm actually going to try this starting tomorrow night and I will document my results. Hopefully it will work.
I noticed this a year ago and I thought I was just going bald 😭 I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem. Definitely going to try this.
I also thought I was going bald from this back of head part cowlick... it's depressing 😕
My hair got thin and yuck and then noticed the "bald" spot. Naturally I thought the same so I shaved my hair off and now today, 8 months later, I'm discovering it's something i can't help 🙃 🙃🙃
I have exactly same problem and always ended having pony as u said... and i thought i am the only one blessed with this lol.. thanks for sharing this tip. And it made me more comfortable to know there are more ppl with this dreaded back part.
I can't stress it enough how grateful I am for this video! I've become so self conscious about this that I've worn my hair up everyday for about 2 years! Could be more honestly 😩 So excited to try this 😚
I just tried this. OMG I can’t believe it. My hair looks great!! Part/cowlick whatever GONE! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
I developed a hard part in the back since growing out my hair, and what worked for me was thinning out the bulk below the part, since the hair now has more freedom to move around. I don't know if this is a solution for long hair, but for my short bob, it worked for me! I thought I was going bald.
You have no idea!! I just discovered this on my hair, and I never had it as a child either !! I thought I was losing hair ? Thank you so much
😮 wow! My head at the back looks exactly like yours! 😂 I use hair building fibers on that spot to cover it. In Canada its called Toppik powder. But I'm 45 and this has been a problem since I was 20 years old. I always thought it was a weird cow lick. Lol thanks for this demonstration. ❤😊
I have the same problem but worse because there's two and my hair is a bit thinner than yours. 😔 But thanks for the tip, I'll have to try this
Loanne me too. It’s at the crown but off to the sides. If I parted my hair in the middle, I’d have a big Y on my head. I hate that I’ll have to style it. Used to enjoy not having to do that every day.
@@ashleybrewer1992 meee tooooo! And my hair is at least 50% thinner than hers in the video 😭
Same!!!
THANK YOU. Me, my mom and my grandmom ALL have this. It's hereditary I think; I tried this and it worked You are a life saver I thought having my hair in pony tails was making me go bald!
I’m so glad I found this. I thought I was balding 😫😫😫😫😫😫😫 thank you
thank you for showing this video..I have this issue my boyfriend notices the issue and proceeds to ask me if i knew i had a bald spot . I was devastated ...So thanks again it worked ..A tip on the how to curl all you hair put hair up i a high ponytail then curl as many sections as you want, Also the fabric sponge twisty curlers you wear over night they work great...good luck
I never had it. It appeared couple of days ago and I am completely depressed about it. Definitely going to try this. It’s good to have hope
My mom has that and me being only 19yrs have...I have my whole attention on that part like every time i do oiling or massage or shampoo or any mask , i focus on that part ..
I just discovered having the same problem!! Makes me think hoe long have I had it and no one telling me! It's thr most annoying. I'm sure I've never had it before. ! But thanks for the tip. I also tried grabbing thr back of thr hair from thr crown and blow drying it with a round brush. It works too.
Omgggggg I have it in the same spot!!!!! I hate ittttt
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE
Thanks for d tips! I have two lines behind my head and its annoying and it makes me so insecure😭
LITERALLY SAME. I had it when I was little because my hair is wavy but after I started damaging my hair with heat and dye, it got so much worse and now that I’m an adult I notice it literally every time my hair is down and it’s so annoying😭!!! Thank you for this!!
I really wish my hair wasn’t like this. I’m so tired of someone in my family constantly insulting my hair because of it, it’s lowering my self esteem
Same here! Everyone is asking me "What happened to your hair?? I got this at front side of my hair
You are a godsend!
My husband just recently mentioned how my hairline always does the “squiggly crooked line” all the way to the back of my head. Since I never really look at the back of my head I had never noticed it, but dear lord it so noticeable! Looks exactly like yours, and since I part my har to the side it looks even worst! I’ve been going crazy trying to figure out how to fix it, and googling it I found your video.
Thank you!!!!!
When I was younger I did not have this..I'm at 40 and for years now my hair has changed and my 3a-c curls are coming out straight and flat at the roots🙈😔😛😂It makes me sad to the point of melancholy in the past!! What I do is I tease my hair (back comb) all around that back area and use the schwarzkopf got2b glued hairspray only on the roots💖😍💖 This works for me!!
Side note : I've been doing this for years and notice that in winter when its humid as hell were I live I need a cowash every four days because it gets sticky and matted fast..in summer I can go a week or so between washes,plus I'm diving in the ocean everyday so that clears out products also !! Take Care All 💕✨🌹🌈🌺💙💖💎💜🥂💄💚🌸⚡💫
yeah we can hide it and all but i just want to find out how to permanently remove it :(
Same exact issue here. I have thick, dark curly hair. My hair is also layered. Idk if I had this forever but just noticed it last week and I’ve been so depressed thinking of it and legit thought I was going bald. Was going to even set an appt with a dermatologist . But my mom and friends said they think it’s a cowlick because i don’t even lose hair! Glad I’m not the only one
I have this same thing. The older I get the worse it gets!!! I'm gunnu try this!
Oh goodness! Thank you so much! I am 54 and my hair has thinned a bit at the front and I suddenly noticed something similar to yours on my crown. I was so scared I was going bald, but I think it has probably always been there but my hair just got a bit thinner and I could see it more. Plus, who looks at the back of their head, so it's probably been there for ages!
Me too! Mines in a Y shape though and I have fine hair so it’s easy to see. Looks like I’m going bald.
Which I actually may be because my hair has been shedding a lot for several months.
Me too girl 😩
I feel I am in the exact same spot. What to do
Tori desnek I have full hair envy 😭
No, it makes me really sick. Even the kind with low estrogen makes me queasy.
I've used a lot of different shampoos and activators from few countries loads of products for years nothing helped as much as diet, quiting smoking& alcohol, rice water is amazing Google it, hemp oil and shampoos helped a lot. Try neck massages too.
Oh My Goodness!! Same here!! I never had this until I reached my 30s.. I have been sooo self conscious.. so uncomfortable.. I hate it. Will definitely try this whole combing backwards. I had tried blow drying it but that only works the very same day I wash it.. afterwards, with the natural hair oils, it starts parting again!!!!! uuuuuggggghhhhhhhh anyways, will try this. Thanks for this video ♥
This has been driving me insane for years
Ever since my hair grew out, it looked fuller and thicker than ever except for this ONE spot. I thought it was balding ugh thank you
same, my hair is so nice except for this one thing.. it’s my biggest insecurity
Same here, I guess we all have that dreaded part on the crown. Drives me crazy! I'll do what you said!!
Yes I have that too! The only way to fix it is with heat. Then it gets damaged and brittle
When I was 12, I still remember 18 years later when I first got paranoid about this same exact thing! A boy was standing behind me in the lunch line and said “hey everybody look! Katie is bald!” A few years later, I went to a hair salon and asked her if she had any solutions. She said “honey I’m a beautician, not a magician.” I was mortified! A couple years ago though I finally started doing the same thing you’re doing and I’m not self conscious about it anymore!
I’m so sorry that happened, people can be so cruel. You’re definitely not alone in this, it’s extremely common. I’m happy to hear you’re not self conscious about it anymore!
Katie Huntsinger girl same i used to get so scared when someone was standing behind me i would always tie my hair or push all my hair backwards so people dont see it
Omg I have that too and my hair actually was falling out after Covid so I figured I was just balding. When my hair gets greasy it looks way worse.
I have fine wavy/curly hair and I noticed the same thing happening at the right side of the back of my head. It would be very visible whenever I leaned over to pick up stuff Q_Q It made me very self conscious at work but it's nice to know that it's a normal thing and I'm not balding haha (I'm only a 24 yr old woman this would be shattering to me)
Same here,my problem too
i've been kissed me my cowlick at the crown the makes my part like this - thank you so much for the tip it helped so much
I also never had this problem when I was a kid . I am glad I came across this video . I have thin fine hair , so I don't really do much with it . I will have to give this a try . 😁
omgggg this only recently happened to me a few months ago!!! it’s so annoying and makes me so self conscious bc i’ve never seen anyone else with it especially around my campus and i don’t wear my hair up so it’s such a struggle. it also hurts sometimes like it feels sore when i try to mess with it
im so sorry to hear that! have you spoken to a doctor or dermatologist? Mine turned out to be hair loss due to a vitamin d deficiency. I have a few videos on my channel with updates on the hairloss issue. Check them out to see if you have any similar symptoms!
@@LayanBee OMG I did not know deficiency could cause cowlicks I'm so glad I read the comments because I also had low vitamin D last blood test and have had hair fall problems but I didn't realise that was related to the cowlick, I thought I only just noticed it! (P.S. maybe you should link the vids in description)
My hair is so beautiful,healthy & shiny and i have that annoying split in the back of the head also and i am always trying to fix it,feels like i rarely leave it out because of this problem..thanks for this video.☺💕
I commented my technique, but want to add, if you have this AND also notice alot of hair fall in the shower or while brushing/combing, I'd recommend seeing your Primary Care Physician to have your thyroid levels checked and/ or a dermatologist, because there can be a genetic type of hair loss in women in this area of the head. I have both issues.
Exactly! No matter how I do it hair I’ll think I look good then feel the air on that part and reach back…agh. Such a simple non-threatening thing but causes so much angst. Thx for sharing
Oh god me tooooooooo! This is literally the only video on UA-cam about this god forsaken issue! It bugs me 24/7 - literally. All I do is rejig my hair constantly to make sure it’s covered. Ugh.
its absolutely frustrating!
ua-cam.com/video/62_DphnQwuU/v-deo.html
I have that too. My husband lovingly calls it my "bald spot." I hate that term because it's not a bald stop, just an annoying "part" that is built into my hair. Ugh. I'm thinking about using a clip-in hair extension to cover it, but that would probably be visible and would look even worse. Double ugh. Any method used flies out the window once there's a little wind outside. 😊
Thank you for this! Was getting ready for a wedding the other day and went to go check my hair in the back and thought my hair was thinning. Mine looks exactly like yours!
I've struggled my whole life with the back part, I tried this method a few years ago without much success. I found it would only hold together for a short time before it split open again.
Omg I have this too and I am SO self conscious of this as well. Thank you so much for making this video. I am going to try it!!
I’m starting to have the same problem..I hate it! Thank you for filming this!
its honestly so annoying! thank you so much for watching
I'm 43 and it just started happening to me. I would use a ton of mini bobby pins to hold it in place but then the split would separate the hair on the right side of my head. Most people think I'm in my early 30s but the bald spot started to make me feel so bad I'd have panic attacks getting ready to go out. I know it sound superficial but I take care of myself (diet and exercise) and my hair made me feel inadequate. I also have very long hair that's actually thick and really curly except that one part. I can't wait to try this.
Ugh I have this too! My hair just wants to be draped from that center point in all directions of my head haha. I have straight long hair that falls down smoothly, except for this annoying piece of hair on top of the cowlick that wants to go in the opposite direction and just stands up like a weirdo all day 😂😅. I have been backcombing it multiple times a day to keep it stuck to the rest, but I definitely need to buy some hairspray cause it won’t last long.
This is a pretty good tip. But also time consuming if you're in a hurry. So I wanted to ask how you can solve this problem permanently without using any sprays. Like for most people the hair just doesn't split like that.
26 year old male with fine long hair here. I've got this kind of thing though it isn't as noticeable until I sleep on it. I can see it before I shower in the morning, but even with clean and dried hair it's still noticeable if I shine bright light on it. Worried it might be a sign of balding, but it might not be. Everyone I've asked says it's just my part and it's normal, that I've just got fine hair and that's making the scalp under my parting more noticeable, and I've got the feeling it might have become more visible since I went a few years letting my hair get really really oily and sleeping on it a day or two before washing it multiple times a week. So it's possible I've just damaged my hair somehow and I need to take better care of it.
Really hoping it's not a sign of balding, not sure what my chances are since the men on my mom's side of the family didn't go bald, but the men on my dad's side all went bald except for my dad which is interesting.
I could be wrong and I could be starting to show signs of balding, which is why when the whole social distancing thing is over and I can go out again I'm booking an appointment with a dermatologist to look into this. If it is something like that I'm going to do my best to stop it and make it look as good as possible if I can't.
waj9876 Hey please don’t despair. I very much doubt your3 going bald. I’m You tubing this problem because I’ve suddenly discovered it during lockdown. I’ve not had my hair cut for 16 weeks. Usually a 4 to 5 wk person. I’m female. I’ve got thick, layered (because it’s so thick) wavy hair and it’s usually a job to see my scalp. But I’ve just noticed a parting on the crown at the back of my head and I’m so paranoid about it. I feel like it’s an old lady bald spot because I’m also letting my hair go grey. But I know I’m not going bald and it’s just my hair parting on my crown, probably showing up because my hair has got longer and I need to find a way to deal with it. Don’t go wasting money on a dermatologist. See your hairdresser first and mention it.
I have this split too. i hate it . I use Lóreal magic retouch( MAGIC ROOT COVER UP) after I washed my hair and is dry. iI use my natural shade( medium brown ) and works pretty well at least to camouflage the spot
Thank you for not having a 3 minute long intro talking about what you’re going to be talking about lol
Trina Montano I like that as well. I can't stand when the person goes on and on about everything except with the videos about. Thank you for getting to the point❤️
I noticed it when I got trichotillomania but now that I’ve stopped pulling that spot for almost a year, it’s still there I thought it was a bald spot that never grew back but now I’m relieved that it’s not just me I was depressed
i thought I was going bald at 13 LMFAO
I have been dealing with this for my entire life
I have it and I HATE IT!!!!! I'm 27 and I probably noticed it 2 years ago. I hate that I have to "fix" that part of my hair even when I'm just wanting to have my hair down and not wanting to do any hairdo. It sucks😭
I finally found a person who has the same problem as me! It started when i became 17 and its been 5 years and no sign to grow back. So i do the same thing everyday. And its really annoying!
Mind blown! I know this is old but I just found it!! Ps. My tip for getting the back really curled nice is I start from the back and work my way forward when curling my hair! I also do two layers, splitting around the circumference (?) Of my head
I have it to I wear my hair up 90 percent of my life and mine comes back in like 3 hours once I think it's gone it comes back mine is far left of the back of my head
Thank you! I also have this problem since I have gotten older. I tried everything and nothing worked so I'm going to try what you did just now today I think it's going to work! I'm so glad to know that I am not the only one with this problem. That's why I always wear my hair up in a bun but no not today. I'm going to try this! Thank you for posting this! 😚
I have this problem too! It drives me crazy! So thank you for this tip! 💜
I'm glad i could help! its so annoying i totally understand your frustration
any tips on how to fix this part with tighter curls? i have a weird part but if i straighten it it’ll look odd.
Happy to view how you addressed this problem...however, flat iron on hair sprayed hair, then tease it?.. seems to me the abuse will cause more harm! I say dampen with water, blow dr in desired directio then iron it close to part only and then spray
Girl, as so, many of your followers have stated - I am so glad that I am not the only one out there with this problem. Would you consider doing a video adding some sort of nano Weft extension, or some other type of extension to help hide this problem?
I have 3 of those on the back of my head (technical term is hair whorls, swirls or crowns). My grandma would call them remolinos (I probably spelled it wrong so don't judge me) and I usually fix it by spraying water on my hair and using a hair dryer to manipulate the pattern as I dry it again and that normally fixes it for me. Then I use hairspray to hold it in place.
I've always had this, ever since I was a toddler! Having short hair hid it but whenever my hair gets past shoulder length it becomes very prominent. I've always just thought that even though I have thick hair I must be doing something to cause a bald spot there (despite there obviously being hair there).
thanks for the tip! I was afraid I was losing my hair!
I too have this....i developed this due to improper diet and now my hairfall has stopped but the regrowth is not appreciable
My 8 year old daughter has this cowlick and it is so hard to do her hair so thank you for this video we are gonna try this today for picture day 😁
I thought I was the only one with this issue!! Thank you!
You have NO idea how much I appreciate this video!!!! I have the SAME problem!! THANK YOU!!!
Curling tip for you, have a large wide or full length mirror behind you at an angle so you can see the back of your head when you are curling the back, makes a huge difference for me anyway. Plus helps while you hide the cowlick. I have always worn my hair long and not that it is cut to an above the shoulder shag POP goes the cowlick... Super annoying so thanks for your trick. Appreciate it!
I’ve only just started to see a gap in my hair and a pink scalp showing through. I have very thick and wavy hair. My thoughts are it’s appeared because my layered hair has got longer so it hasn’t got the same lift it used to have and I’ve not coloured it during lockdown. I’m grey under my blonde. I’m wanting to keep my hair longer and try out my natural grey look too, which is why I You Tubed this problem. Glad to see it’s a common problem for people with thick hair and it’s not just because I’m going grey. Thanks for the video and tips.
OMG I love you for this! Mine is in exactly the same spot! Thank you, a million times!
Yayyy I’m so glad I helped!!
I loved this video. Thank you, girl! I have the same problem and I believe it's because I've switched to sleeping on my back to avoid wrinkles.☺️ I'm about to try your trick now!!
I'd never noticed this for me until maybe a year or two ago and now I'm obsessed over it. I loathe the idea of a "work from office" day where I'd go in and show this off- you mentioning you started to sleep on your back made me think... I started doing that some years back because of my thigh tattoo :joy: If that's really what caused this bs.... lol
I have the same issue and thought I was alone !!!!!! Thanks for your video !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God bless you
Im so insecure about it since one time I was out with my boyfriend and he was walking behind me, he asked me jokingly: you are bald at the back of your head! Haha!!
