Sadly, but over the course of your life, you might encounter many if not all mens hair problems. Of course, there’s a chance that you were lucky enough to win a genetic lottery, and they’ll simply bypass you. Though, your genes aren’t the only to factor in a receding hairline and other pelt issues, so you never know what the future holds. Remember, forewarned is forearmed. Thus, it’s good to know not only what hair challenges there are but also how to confront them. So that you have all the necessary information, we’ve prepared an ultimate guide to men’s hair problems.

What’s Wrong: A Cowlick

We aren’t pretty sure whether to consider a hair calic one of hair problems or not because it’s a common trait that’s inherent in many people. Most often, it appears at the crown of the head but basically can be spotted anywhere. With a cowlick hair looks, as the name implies, as if a cow helped you to style it with the tongue – a strand of hair swirls against the grain.

What To Do: Embrace It

Because compared to other men’s hair problems, a hair cowlick isn’t such a big deal, there’s nothing specific you should do to deal with it. Don’t try to tame it using a hairstyling product though, as it simply won’t work. You’ll end up having greasy hair and the cowlick will stick up anyway. Thus, you should try to cooperate with it instead of confronting.

The best way to deal with your cowlick is to embrace the grain direction and opt for the hairstyle that’ll help to disguise the whorl. If it’s at the nape, you should get a short cut there while the remaining hair should be swept toward it. In case it’s at the top of the head, your hair there should be long enough to make it heavier and thus, hanging down. Provided the cowlick is at the forehead, go with a long fringe. Though, if long hair isn’t your cup of tea, a buzz cut is a way to go.
