I used water to wet it down, I put tons of Brylcreem on it, but it stubbornly refused to concede. I cut that cowlick off with a pair of scissors, and would have gotten away with it too, if my pesky parents hadn't interfered.

It makes my head feel smooth, but it looks completely absurd. My hair (at the level of the individual strand) is quite thick, and when I get it cut it often jams hair clippers. Also, because it's wiry, when it is cut it tends to fly into the air like a coiled spring, ending up in the barber's (or stylist's) eyes and nostrils. In these situations, my hair acts like a projectile weapon, and can embed itself in skin. After every hair cut, I make sure to take a shower; otherwise I would wake up with hair clippings embedded in my skin like porcupine quills.
