Are you a barber?One cowlick, in the front -- my hair, in the very front, wants to lie down to the right. I always give it a finger comb to the left when it’s damp so it doesn’t lay flat to my head. It stays “correct” all day long without me touching my hair again. And every new barber always wants to brush that part flat to my head (with the cowlick). I tell them, “I brush that against the lick so it doesn’t lay flat.” Although I would think they’d pay attention to how it is before they start cutting, I don’t hold that “mistake” against anyone who hasn’t cut my hair before. I just complain when things on the normal parts of my head are not even, or are ragged, or obviously different lengths.No other weirdness, and I have asked my barbers about it. [My oldest son has a cowlick/swirl in the front (swirling back and then left), and two crowns at the back – makes his hair stand up in the middle like a Mohawk. Teenagers loved his hair when he was a baby – “How do you get his hair to stay like that?” *His* hair requires an experienced barber.]Who would have thought that “Like it is now, just shorter,” would be confusing? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-)" title="Smile    :-)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":-)" />Um, I only describe 2 experiences (of my own hair). I’ve had probably a dozen barbers since I started taking myself to the barber. I had a regular from ages ~16-21, then another from ~22-27, then another from ~28-35, then the most recent from ~36-38. That’s 4 [edit: I can't count.] regulars, right there. Add in how many I visited between finding the next regular, and any I may have seen “cheating”. And I’ve only had two truly bad haircuts.I’ll keep this in mind. Thank you.But, ah, looking at your pic in your sig, . . . what do you tell your barber? [By the way, I mean no offense with this question.]Quasqueton</blockquote>
