Does anyone have a fringe that refuses to fringe?!

[StillMedusa]

Currently I have a bob with a long side fringe side parting. My hair naturally falls that way as I have a bit of a cow's lick at the front.
I would like to get a proper fringe again...deep and chunky , but my hair stubbornly refuses to lie down and insists on a big gap!

Is there anything I can do to tame it?!

Blast it dry while it's really wet. A hairdresser showed me how to do that with my cows lick.

I used to have a lovely shiny deep blunt fringe that took forever with a blow dryer and a round brush to get right because I have quite a strong cows lick.

It was beautiful but it only lasted a couple of months. The combination of quick growing and very stubborn hair plus dc meant it just wasn't practical.

I have vowed to put it back when ds can get himself ready for school

Afraid it is genetic (from dh's side) in our family. Decision by all dc is never to have a fringe.

When you dry the fringe, keep brushing it left to right , then right to left and so on. There's a YouTube video , I'll try and find it.

I have a cows lick and unfortunately you can never really get them to stop parting but the above method helps a bit.

What creme said

My hairdresser blow dries mine the opposite way to the way it naturally falls first, then styles it in shape in the middle. I can't ever replicate it; I've eventually taken the decision to grow it out to the side

Nope I can't fringe. It's just one of those things; no matter how it's cut or dried it parts where my cowlick is, or worse, sticks straight up atop my head like some sort of pylon to warn nearby aircraft of my presence.

I've embraced my on-show-forehead and given in now.

My fringe problem is that my fringe is always straight, even though it's the shortest part of my hair. The rest will dry nice and wavy if I leave it alone, but my fringe refuses to. I worry that people will assume I straighten it and wonder why I want the fringe straight and the rest curly.

I'm the same as you OP, my hair just won't lie 'together' in a fringe, there is always a split. If I keep it quite long it looks nice and deliberate but if it's short it just looks a mess!

I am currently growing out my latest attempt at a fringe, I think I'm going to give up.

Mine is the same.
Splits 80/20 the moment I take my eye off it
