how can i stop my hair flicking up at the back all the time!

[germyrabbit]

everytime i get a lovely sleek bob cut it looks great for a couple of days then the dreaded flick emerges at the back and sides. I've tried blow drying straight, babyliss big hair and even invested in a £9 barrel brush which just makes it worse!!

:(

Hold the brush in the hair untill it is cold, you can speed it up with the cool shot on your drier or use straightners to bend the hair under.

I find the more well conditioned my hair is the easier it is to style too.

I've got very soft hair so I use a bit of root boosting spray on the length at the back.

thank you fluffly i will try that, i don't usually wait until the hair is cold or use the cold shot so something else to try!

You need a better cut imo - a good cut will help the flick!

oh gawd, really valium? i only got it cut last week at it cost £41, can't afford another one!

nothing is working, washed and tried again just now

Tbh ime yes, a bob is really hard to cut well and they really need to know what they are doing or it sticks up as it's not cut properly and doesn't lie flat.
