hair probs

[tali122]

everytime i wake up i have a loose tuft of hair sticking out from the side of my head at the rear- to settle it i have to copiously douse it with water and then "glue" it down with a thick paste of gel
yet even when my hair is cut short(longer hair suits me better) -the bloody tuft still pops up!
also another prob is that my hair will never settle to one style of combing, after shampooing i end up combing it back, to the left parting to the right parting.....aaaagh!
any (sensible) solutions?

I would imagine that your hair folicules grow in a different direction so there's probably nothing you can do about it as such (I have a cow's lick, so i know how irritating it is!).

I would suggest pushing out the boat and going to a very good hair dressers and asking their advice on what style would cope with it best.  Often you can get a consultation for free, so it may be worth ringing them.

Yes, or you could just wash your hair everyday! At least then you can start from scratch to style it. My hair would look foul if I just combed it after waking it and left the house!!
