How do you get rid of a cowlick?

You don't get rid of a cowlick. You can cut it completely off, which will not work unless you wear a buzz cut or you can let it grow longer and the weight of it will pull itself down. It is best to wear a style that will work with it. If you want to try to hold it down, make sure that it dries in the exact place that you want it to lay. Wear a lot of gel or spray to hold it. Many people find cowlicks to be extremely irritating since they often conflict with the desired hairstyle. There are several methods of taming the unruly cowlicks. For most people, a combination of the right hairstyle, length, product used and styling technique can overcome the undesired appearance. For people more serious about cowlick management, including celebrities, more drastic measures may be used. Electrology, waxing and even cosmetic surgery can be used to more permanently correct the cowlick. It may be helpful to consult a professional stylist for advice on managing your particular hair pattern and cowlicks.
