You learn something new every day-I’m 58 year old and always had a problem with a one sided front cowlick. Of course Ive asked my stylists how to combat that and it was always go against the cowlick which kinda sorta worked. Confusing the root worked WAY better for me. I was surprised how well. Great tips and great video! p.s and thanks too for not dragging the video out and getting right to it!

In order to style the cowlick out of hair front this is key: CONFUSING THE ROOT @2:50 - Use fine-tooth comb & high heat/low blow dryer setting with flat dryer concentrator. Blow ROOTS dry while pushing hair down to the front & then to one side, then the other side, until ROOTS are completely dry. Then round out just the lower part WITHOUT LIFTING AT THE ROOTS, to create some shape at the bottom portion. Then while hair is still hot, squish it down at the roots with your hand until cool.

The cowlick forms a C shape 5 min after leaving the air conditioning. I also sweat immediately and my hair goes flat. The best solution I have come up with is hair pulled back or covered with a ball cap. Suggestions welcomed.

I pin the top part of my fringe up out the way. Put holding product on the remaining section and do what Gabi calls the squish - pressing it down. Then I release the top section which doesn't have any product on. This makes the fringe look natural as all the holding product is out of sight.

I have a widows peak and front cowlick so bad. In the back my hairline is an M yet very long hairline. I have a lot of male androgens and I believe that is why my back hairline looks like a male. Also one side of my hair is soft and flat other side where the cowlick starts at the crown other side is all wavy. I shaved it off in the front. Wish I could show you a photo. Also my occipital bone is so flat no ridge. I'm 60 years old now and still deal with it. I shaved the back sides of my back M hairline. I have had such anxiety over this all my life.

There isn't a male version specifically but KMS isn't gender specific (neither is any product for that matter). Don't focus on product. Focus on what the product is intended to do because there is really no difference between a man or a woman's hair other than the cut. If you have a cowlick everywhere, use that "confusing the root" trick when your hair is wet with a fine tooth comb. Lay it flat and blow dry it in multiple directions. It's also important that your stylist doesn't cut those sections too short. If you cut them too short, they will stick straight up and be impossible to style. Thanks for watching!
