Hairstyling - How to Work my Cowlick

Expert: Ellen Saxe - 11/6/2009

Question

Kristen Stewart

I have slightly wavy hair and a cowlick in almost exactly the same place as Kristen Stewart. I love her hair, and I've been trying to make it look right, but I can't figure out how to work it like she does.
Every site I've looked at with this question talks about how to conceal a cowlick or make it go away. But I want to keep it. I want to figure out how to style it like hers.
Help me?

Answer
Hi Annie:

You are absolutely right to work with your cowlick. Having a cowlick in the front, like this, is the one of the best places, probably one of the only best places, to have a cowlick.

Having a cowlick in the front of your hair can give you lift, just like in the picture of Kristen Stewart. The cowlick gives you that funky lift from how it comes from the root.

In this case, you work WITH the cowlick. If your cowlick is exactly like Stewart's, facing the mirror you would let hair part naturally, just let it fall where it wants to part after combing all back, then push hair off to the left side. It should part, just as hers does, giving you the lift and flow created by cowlick.

Hope this helps. If you still have problems or questions regarding this, please do not hesitate to contact me via my email.... efsaxe@yahoo.com

Please send me a picture of yourself using your cowlick to my email if you need help. I can better assess your hair and explain what you can do.

Thanks Ellen
