How can I style my hair when I have a cowlick?
Hairstyle to Combat a Cowlick
An attractive hairstyle is hard to manage if your hair decides to go its own way and splits at the crown. Deal with this problem (called a cowlick) by drying the problem area in the opposite direction—this will redirect the hair and give it more lift.
Don't attempt a hair style that requires drying your hair flat to your head since this magnifies the split in the crown area. Use a vent brush to lift your hair at the scalp. If your hair is sticking up in the crown and you have a short cut, try growing your hair longer (the weight of your longer hair will weigh down the crown cowlick).
