Hair Fix: Back Part

[@dakiddo311]

You have NO idea how long I have been searching for a fix for this back part. Mine happens naturally and I could never find anything that fixed it. I cannot wait to try this. I get so frustrated I end up putting my hair in a pony tail or bun because I am so self conscious of that stupid part! Thank you Kate!!

[@meaganfigueroa630]

same!!

[@wyattwolfe]

So update. Been doing this technique and its working AMAZINGLY, to the point where my part is actually starting to NATURALLY go away because it's training my hair not to split. 100% recommend.

[@josiieize2.0]

Oh wow that's so cool!! How long have you roughly done it for? So happy to hear it's working for you

[@josiieize2.0]

Wow I was literally thinking about this yesterday and got a notification today haha

[@jaci7974]

Can I ask did you do this daily and if so did it cause any hair damage over time?

[@jessicadianne9065]

Randomly just found this video - this 9 year old video - and now an insecurity I’ve had since high school is gone! What?? How did I never look up how to do this before? I’m 34 and I finally am learning how to style my hair properly 😂🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ seriously kicking myself for not looking this up sooner - but thank you for making this video and for keeping it up for 9 years!

[@wasanw2898]

I am 40 and just watched the video😅😅😅

[@Janesmithy]

54. lol. I tried it didn’t work. My hair is super long tho. Ugh. It’s so disgusting looking. It looks like I have a big white scar I’ve tried to sleep with curlers there To to bed with wet hair and put only that part up in a ponytail in an attempt to retrain the swirly hair growth. Oh well. I’ll keep trying 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@catcutie4706]

By far the best video that I have found ! You don’t waste anytime, just straight to let us know how to get rid of that part. I hate mine. I have searched and searched videos and this is the best out there! Thanks so much and I will be trying it

[@jburdick8611]

BLESS YOU!! Oh my god...every single day I have to repeatedly grab my mirror to check the back of my head and see if I look "bald", due to my 3 cowlicks and baby fine hair. This is the very first time I have EVER seen a solution for this problem, and I thank you, thank you, thank you!!

[@lindyhawthorne2164]

omg omg omg.........THANK YOU....finally....I can fix my dreaded back part. I just tried it and it worked. Im so thankful. Hope you see this (after 9 years). I had tried using flat iron before but now realising that I was holding it horizontally instead of vertically.....made all the difference.

[@cindyslavik5391]

I’m so glad to find this. I used to never have this problem but now it’s so severe the back of my head looks bald and I’ve had so much anxiety over it. I can comb it to cover the part but it just falls right back and you see a big white scalp part.

[@tannerkaplan2754]

Cindy Slavik have you tried any shampoos or serums for hair regrowth? I have this exact problem and don’t know if something like that would help. But it looks like I have a bald spot on the back of my head where my part ends

[@brittanyleigh9046]

this is my issue, recently a photo from behind was taken of me at a party and all i can focus on is my back part and how it looks like a bald spot

[@LopsidedCircle]

If you have never had this problem Before you are balding

[@josiieize2.0]

@@LopsidedCircle doesn't necessarily mean it's balding, could just be some hair loss due to various things

[@Lunatheia]

This video tip can definitely help with that feeling. My hair is thinning out as well and I have the same problem but I wouldn't say you're going bald.

[@ashleyball264]

OMG! This is brilliant! I am a recently graduated cosmo student and not even my instructors could give me advice on how to fix this issue... wow! Thanks for sharing! You rock!!!

[@sylviacorwin9182]

I have been asking hair stylists to help with this for a couple of years, and they had no helpful advice. I have resorted to putting my hair into a half pony-tail and am ready to search for hair toppers. Excited to try this!

[@kristenatalley]

Wish I had known this 20 years ago; I've been fighting and losing the back part battle for most of my life! Thank you so much for posting!!

[@treehugger79]

LOL! I wish I had known this 50 years ago!

[@sincerelyaimee]

THIS. IS. AMAZING. I have this problem every morning when I wake up and it seriousy makes me want to cry. I'll definitely be trying this!

[@ALadyJett]

i love watching and trying your and others hair tutorials a lot, but this is by far the most beneficial tutorial for me to date. Thank you sooooo much. It looks as if you spent along time redoing the whole head of hair instead of just one part.

[@cecibee3495]

Kate, this is the most helpful video in the history of KZbin for me. Wow.

[@sheilabartolo3342]

I love you omg you just fixed the one thing I hate about my hair thank you so much

[@mjen3125]

This was a very helpful video, and based on now understanding the root problem of back parts and cowlicks in general, that the hair is leaning in the opposite direction we want it to, I experimented with training my hair to lean the way I want when I sleep. At night, I find the back part cowlick and put it into the split it is comfortable in. Then I take the right half and pull it left, and the left half and pull it right, and create two pig tails that literally tightly pull the hair in the direction I want it to go. The next morning I did not have a problem with the cowlick split or back part. I think if I keep doing this each night, it will be like braces or retainers on the teeth, it will keep it trained to fall right. I could "make it" go back into the split again, but it was much easier to get it to cooperate. To keep it in its new corrected position, I added some Aveda dry shampoo powder and really rubbed that in and then ran my brush left and right across the split for a bit of a back combing effect, and then gave it a spritz with hair spray. Finally I feel confident that my hair is not going to revert back into a back split again during the day!

[@jenfehr1]

Love this tip! My sister and I were just talking about this the other day! My three sisters and I all have this back part and it's stubborn, and I never new how to deal with it. I can't wait to try this, thank you!

[@wyattwolfe]

I never had a back part until about 5 years ago and I've been wanting to grow my hair long but it makes the part more pronounced. So I've kept it in a pixie cut cause it doesn't show up when my hair is super short. I cannot wait to try this. Thank you so much. If this works I will forever worship you as the cowlick goddess lol.

[@nimasoanTHE2nd]

I have been navigating through KZbin for a couple of weeks searching a fix for that issue......I had teased my hair but differently....THANK YOU THANK YOU AND THANK YOU.

[@cockrelt]

This is so helpful! I have a double crown and have struggled with this issue my whole life!!!

[@litebriteeyes]

Ha! I've never heard anyone mention this deeply distressing issue, LOL. Love your videos, thank you for this one!

[@kberken]

There's another one and it's the same fix. So I guess it works. Will try this tomorrow

[@maimeemay]

I can't thank you enough! I have a cowlick right at the crown and it always splits in the center making it look as though my hair is thinning. I was about to get a perm and layers so that it would it disguise the part! I'm so happy I found your channel today. Thank You!

[@notamused3715]

My hair has only started doing this recently and this is the first time I've looked for advice as to how to sort it, so thank you, it's a really good and simple tip!

[@joyannalieseackerman2261]

This works great! I’ve always had this problem plus thin, fine baby hair and came across a very simple method recently that works amazingly well. Style your hair the way you usually do and take your hair brush and place it at the top of where your hair begins splitting and holding your brush horizontally, gently yet firmly move your brush back and forth without lifting the brush. This tangles the hair at the root and keeps it from separating! Spray a lite coat of hair spray and you are good to go!

[@morganbarse7931]

My “back part” is so bad on 2nd hair days!! Thank you so much for this!

[@quinnlee3822]

I have been trying to fix this myself for years! I tried your suggestion and omg, this works! Thank you so much!!

[@hheyitsstephh]

I love this tip! Trying it tomorrow! Quick fix request: putting hair up in a ponytail without it looking too slicked back but not completely falling out/messy (I have thin fine hair)

[@gmillhouse]

I like this request also!

[@emjayvideos]

I have super fine hair and would love a video on this! I like doing ponytails, but sometimes they just appear too slicked down and flat.

[@cocoagirl]

Oh man, that is exactly something I needed to know!!! Chronic problem for my hair!! Nicely done! blessings....

[@drpepper711]

Great tip. I struggle with this nearly all the time. I've discovered what also works well to stop this happening so often is to brush my hair when damp in the direction I want it to be after styling and then just let it air dry in that position.

[@PeaceIsJesusChrist]

I wish this worked for me! I wet my part, then brush in the opposite direction, but it only slightly helps. It works better with a hair dryer, but even that doesn’t fully work. The straight iron didn’t work for me either, but I may try it again!

[@Emily3987]

Thank you so much for this video! I honestly thought no one else had this issue and my hair was just thinning out. :) life changer!

[@meaganfigueroa630]

same!!

[@PetalandPosy]

Any thoughts on this if you have super fine hair? I find when I try to cover the cowlicky spot, I just create a part next to it because I am pulling the hair over to cover and I just don't have alot of it. You have thick hair so you may not have to deal with this, but maybe some advice?

[@crimeandcrafting]

This post is 6 years old but maybe I can help. I have the same problem and I use a little bit of root spray and it does a great job camouflaging the part

[@dsmith199]

I use my eyebrow pencil and fill in the line at my part so if (of course I mean when) it starts to split back to it’s natural part it isn’t so obvious. I should add that I have brown hair and use a brown pencil.

[@annab5961]

@@dsmith199 : clever idea ! Thanks 🙏 or thinking of that sort of help maybe the Batiste colour dry shampoo spray ? Might try that too 👍

[@MsLouisVee]

Brilliant. I use eye shadow. If you can’t see the white color of the scalp, it doesn’t matter if it parts there does it? The eye shadow will also make your hair look thicker

[@robindawn]

I’m going to try this with the cowlick at the crown. It spreads and flattens when I sleep. This looks like I’ve been flat ironing the wrong way. Thanks so much for the tip!

[@XoxMORPHINExoX]

I know this is an old vid, but just found it and can’t believe I’ve never searched a cowlick fix before. This worked like magic. I’ve unnecessarily washed my hair to get rid of the dreaded back part.

This video was so helpful!! I would love to see a video on how to get headbands to stay on heads with no defined occipital bone. I love the cute, boho hairstyles, both updos & loose waves with the headbands, but they always slide up the back until they are sitting like a crown on the top of my head. Is there something I can do? Teasing, products, texturizing, something? Thanks!! LOVE your videos!! :)

[@christyingalls40]

Awesome tip! I've just started curling my hair in loose waves (I have long hair) with my flat iron.... Been battling the dreaded back part. Now I know how to fix it :-)

[@Chewy41915]

I have this problem as well, so much to the point where I’m self-conscious about it all the time. I have tried this method in the past and it works for a good part of the day but not really longer than that. I even sleep with a claw clip holding the two parts together so that it trains the direction of my hair to stay together but even after years it doesn’t work. I have given up on a permanent fix for this and have just accepted that I can only temporarily fix it, until they part again (half a day later) 🤣

[@kimmane8282]

I can't wait to try this technique!! Thank you so much! I cannot seem to get my hairstylist to cut my hair to get a good crown lift...would you call that crown layering? My previous hairstylist knew how but I hate to leave my current one. By the way....Your hair style is super cute, too!

[@gc123x]

Yea i agree cowlicks are so hard to deal with

[@MrsClippit]

i have 2 cowlicks on my bang-line and I decided to let my bangs grow out. Cowlicks in this area are actually pretty cool if you let the hair grow. As the hair grows,it becomes a really pretty spiral curl :D

[@ringonordstrom692]

There are no solutions. Keep cutting that area slightly longer, blow drying it forward, curling it backward, beat it, bend it, yell at it, spray it, and call it good.

[@crystaljackson7013]

Hi, I have a cowlick in my bangs, I am also a professional hairstylist. When styling your bangs, first make sure that they are completely saturated (wet) Then using a paddle or vent brush flat wrap your bangs down towards your face. After they are completely dry, let them cool. Then proceed to styling them as you like. For side bangs you can flat wrap directionally, however still let them dry 100% before adding curl or bevel.

[@annab5961]

I’ve always hated my double part (as it was always called in my family so it is inherited for me .. my mother has it and my siblings )... you don’t know how bad it looks on the day until you check the back of your head . I’m 61 and have always had it . Just always tried to make sure it’s combed over but that never works for long so thank you very much for this easy little remedy 🤗👍

[@4444bird]

I was told by my hair stylist to change my part every year from one side to the other to avoid this. It worked well! I got tired of side parts after a few years, and started doing a center part again.... the "back" part is back!!!! UGHHHHH!!! I basically do the same thing in the video to avoid this, but it sucks when I wear my hair wavy/curly (naturally) because the teasing makes my hair frizzy in that area. 🙄

I have fine hair which does not hold a curl. Immediately after curling, my hair is frizzy so I'm forced to flat iron my hair prior to curling to control the frizz. I'm sure this doesn't help to hold the curl either. Some advice for controlling frizz in fine, thin hair without weighing it down would be appreciated. Also, a way to hold curl in hair like mine would be nice too! 😋
