Cowlicks can be irritating on any part of your head; however, with the appropriate products and styling techniques, it is possible to reduce or hide them altogether.
Applying Gel to Wet Hair
Apply a small amount of gel as soon as your cowlick is wet (we recommend Pattern Strong Hold Gel). After doing so, blow dry it away from its direction of growth for best results.
Understanding hair Dryer Operations
When you plug your hair dryer into a power socket, electrical current powers an electric motor that drives both fan and heating element operations, this current passes over and through the heating element’s nichrome wires, warming the air by forced convection. The hot air is then expelled through the hair dryer’s barrel by fan operation.
Safety cut-off switches, typically bimetallic strips, prevent your hair dryer from overheating and protect you and your scalp from potential burns.
Using hair Dryer Settings
Many hair dryers feature heat and airflow settings that you can customize to your desired style. High heat settings work best for drying thicker locks quickly. However, it is essential always to apply heat-protectant products to rehydrate and smooth the scalp, providing healthy-looking tresses that resist heat damage and make your locks appear shiny.
Controlling hair with Combs
Combs are essential styling tools for controlling unruly locks. Eco-friendly options like the biodegradable PLA and wheat straw comb or the sandalwood comb are available.
Choosing the Right Brush
Brushes can be indispensable for styling hair, but using the right size and type is crucial. Opt for barrel sizes between 13mm – 25mm (1/2 “to 1”) if you want to straighten or smooth out curls. Avoid larger sizes as they retain heat longer and could potentially damage your hair.
Detangling can be done using a wide-toothed comb or brush with widely spaced teeth. This helps distribute natural oils your scalp produces through all of the hair, avoiding static build-up. The Bass Bio-Flex Brush is an eco-friendly option for gentle detangling.
Tips for Using Hair Styling Products
hair styling products like gel, wax, clay, spray, mousse, and hairspray are used to shape or style your hair. Using them appropriately and sparingly is essential, considering harmful ingredients that could dry out your strands or disintegrate natural oils, leading to build-up and dull hair. Selecting a product suitable for your hair type is critical.
