I've recently been doing the whole long top + short sides thing, but my cowlick (which is on the back left of my scalp) is annoying the fuck out of me when I try to style my hair.
How exactly should I be getting it cut? Should I have it cut short enough that it can't really go anywhere? Should I let it grow out? I'd definitely appreciate pictures of how cowlicks should be cut (and how the hairstyles look from the front).
Pic related; it's my cowlick trying to go backwards
I also wish to know a solution
Bump

if you grow your hair out long enough you wont have cowlicks anymore. If you don't want to do that, drown that motherfucker in water and comb it down. When my hair was shorter I used to stick my head under the sink and run the water over the cowlick for a second
>very clearly balding
just buzz it all with a 2 guard and call it a life.

Pretty much what I've been doing. Then I use some hairspray so it stays in place. But that's really annoying.

I'm definitely not balding whatsoever.

What product do you use
Do you poo
How frequently do you conditioner
Do you shower at night instead of the morning

>What product do you use
American Crew Molding Clay and/or Garnier Fructis Style Mess Maker Power Putty, depending on how well my hair decides to cooperate. I also use hairspray on the cowlick after I wash and towel-dry it. I normally don't use hairspray if I haven't washed it; it normally cooperates after I've slept on it
>Do you poo
Yes, Paul Mitchell Shampoo Two
>How frequently do you conditioner
Never
>Do you shower at night instead of the morning
No, I shower in the morning

If the spray is aerosol it will make your hair chunky and shitty. Using shampoo and not conditioner is a great way to Fuck up your hair. Shampoo is strong soap. Your hair naturally will have oils coating it and conditioner replaces the oil shampoo strips away, especially if you use it every day. Cut back on shampoo and use conditioner every day. Idgaf if you use shampoo every second day or third. Your hair will seem greasy at first but your scalp will stop needing to over produce oil once it recognizes that you're not fucking it up all the time. I haven't used shampoo in 6 months and I get compliments on my hair from strangers. Your cow lick will go away when you grow it out a bit more, use conditioner and less shampoo and when its drying comb it in the way you want it.
Try Juan Juan Beverly hills pomade, American crew pomade or baxters clay pomade. Night rider Matt clay with high hold is great too

Sounds like solid advice overall, but...
>when its drying comb it in the way you want it
Pretty much what I'm already doing

The combing works, your hair is just fucked up from how dry it is because you don't use conditioner and use shampoo
