From humidity-proof hair looks that help conceal flyaways to voluminous, layered cuts to disguise flat hair, there are certain styling tricks that can be a game changer. Cowlicks, which can cause awkward or unruly patches, can also be tamed, according to Matrix brand ambassador Sharon Spellman. Ahead, we tapped Spellman to explain what cowlicks are, plus her tips and tricks for making them disappear with just a few products and the right styling hacks.What Is a Cowlick?According to Spellman, a cowlick is a section of hair that stands straight up or lies at an angle. “Cowlicks can appear anywhere on the head if the growth direction of the hair forms in a spiral pattern,” she says. How to Minimize the Appearance of a CowlickWhile Spellman is all about embracing your natural hair pattern and where your cowlick lives, it’s understandable that they can be tricky to style. “If your cowlick lives in an awkward area of your head and makes your hair stand up, there are a few things you can do.” Keep reading for her top tips. Apply Smoothing Products The first thing Spellman recommends is to use smoothing products and hair serums to calm and flatten the cowlick down. She loves the Matrix Total Results Creator Multi-Tasking Hair Treatment for this. “This all-in-one will give the perfect amount of heat protection and frizz-free grit we need to lay the hair nicely,” she says. Finish with a smoothing serum to keep flyaways at bay — we love the L’Oréal Paris Elvive Dream Lengths Frizz Killer Serum.
