Finally figured out a trick for those stubborn cowlicks at the crown
Had a client yesterday with a really strong crown cowlick that kept messing up her blunt bob. I was about to reach for the heavy product, but I remembered something from a class last year. I sectioned the hair around the cowlick, cut it about an inch longer than the rest while it was completely dry and standing straight up (like, not smoothed down at all). Then I wet it and cut it to blend. It laid perfectly flat for the first time. Has anyone else tried cutting cowlicks dry before blending?

Read an article a while back that talked about this. The writer said cutting stubborn crown hair while it's dry and at its most upright gives you the true shape of the problem. Then you can compensate for the spring-back. Your method sounds like the same idea. Makes total sense to address the natural pattern first instead of fighting it wet. Might have to give that a try next time I see one.

Exactly, Simon gets it. Fighting wet hair is a losing battle with some crowns, like trying to push a rope. You have to see the real shape when it's dry and standing up, then cut for where it will actually land. That article's writer knew what they were talking about. It saves so much time and frustration compared to the usual guesswork.
