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!!
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
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 🤷🏻♀️
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!
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.
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!!
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!
I have been navigating through RUclips 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.
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.
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.
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
this was so helpful..i've been searching for so long for a tutorial like this one. because of my thin hair i'm wearing tape extensions. because of the parting they have always shown through. again thank you very very much!
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!!!
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!
I am really enjoying your videos! It's great to see someone who has the same coloring as myself, so I can know what'll look good on me as well! Seems like it's rare to see any very fair ladies doing beauty videos... So thanks, and keep up the great work!
Thank you soooo much for this video, I struggle with the same problem and I only teased that section but it didnt last all day long. This was a great help!!
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 :-)
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!
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!
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!
Loved this! I just cut my hair short on Monday n had keratin applied to it, I can't wash or style til Thursday 😳💇 these tips will b helpful, I can't wait to loosely curl it on Friday!! 😊
I’m so glad I found this video. I havent had to deal with this problem any except for recently pretty much every day. I swore I thought I was going bald back there😂Thank you so much
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!
the dreaded part. what a great tip Kate thanks for this one. Love watching your videos. I have bangs that just want to go all different ways and not sure how to counteract that. thanks.
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.
Thank you SO much!! I get so self concious about this part, especially since my hair is dyed blonde and the roots are darker, it looks so stupid 🙄 i cannot wait to try this, again thank you so so so much
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 🤗👍
This is super helpful. I’ve been obsessing over and staring at the back of my hair once my kids and husband go to bed and trying to understand why this is happening and what to do about it. I’ve been thinking I’m balding. Thank you so much!
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.
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!
thk u for posting! i randomly googled back part in hair (thinking i would never find anything…yet knew i couldn’t be the only one!) since i’m trying to wash my hair less…but in the AM when checking out the back view in mirror …noticed this gawd-awful part!! blah!! look forward to trying this :)
You don't even know how much I wanted to find a video like this!!!!! I have this problem and I hate it. I try teasing it and everything and it doesn't work so maybe the flat iron with the tease will do the trick! Thank you :)
Thank you! I keep waking up with a stupid part in the back. Couldn’t get rid of it. I hate it. I’ve tried to fix it many times with no luck. I hate when I arrive home after being out all day and see that part peeking through again. Lol! I’m going to try this today.
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)
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) 🤣
So helpful....I have the dreaded back part too!!! Thank you so much! Now I can actually do something about it besides curse it into submission ( which doesn't work).
Such a good tip! Thanks for all your great videos!! What about for hair with layers where one side perfectly curves under and the other side flips out.
I do something similar; after a shower I make sure that section is soaked then blow dry it with a round brush upwards and back into place! Gonna have to try this too for second day hair
Hi Kate! Thank you for this fix, it will be a great help! I have a problem with a colic in my bangs! How do I get them to lay flatter and have a softer side swept look?

Oh wow that's so cool!! How long have you roughly done it for? So happy to hear it's working for you
Wow I was literally thinking about this yesterday and got a notification today haha
Can I ask did you do this daily and if so did it cause any hair damage over time?
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.

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
If you have never had this problem
Before you are balding
@@LopsidedCircle doesn't necessarily mean it's balding, could just be some hair loss due to various things
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.

There's another one and it's the same fix. So I guess it works. Will try this tomorrow
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!!
LOL! I wish I had known this 50 years ago!

Thanks! This is such an easy fix and I'll have to try it next time that happens.
Thank you for this! I have this problem a lot when I curl my hair!

Thank you for this!! So simple but VERY helpful TYFS
Such a good tip! Thanks for all your great videos!! What about for hair with layers where one side perfectly curves under and the other side flips out.
I do something similar; after a shower I make sure that section is soaked then blow dry it with a round brush upwards and back into place! Gonna have to try this too for second day hair
I thought I was alone on the struggle bus of the back part, but it's nice to know there's way to fix it :)
I love your hair! I'm so jealous
This is genius! I was resigned to live with this issue until this video.
I have side swept bangs and they are always getting piecey and separated throughout the day. How can I keep them from looking blah?
Yay, I like this hair fix! Here's a request - how to fix hair mini parts forming on day 2 hair when pulling into a ponytail.
I second this request!
Yes!! I alway get this problem when I try and curl my hair, definitely going to try this next time :)
Hi Kate! Thank you for this fix, it will be a great help! I have a problem with a colic in my bangs! How do I get them to lay flatter and have a softer side swept look?
