unfortunate cowlicks?

Post by jenjochach » Mon Apr 21, 2008 4:52 pm

Hi all,

So, this is another in a series of newbie questions. I seem to have the problem with my irritated nares under control (thanks to all who recommended nostril lubes! I found Ayr at the drugstore, ordering some of the others online to check them out too). Now, however, I seem to be developing weird colics from the headgear that goes with my Mirage Swift II. I tried wearing a cap under the headgear, but that made it slide around on my head too much and i ended up with leaks all night. it also got a little too warm for comfort once winter ended (which, here in MN was approximately last week )

Anyone else dealing with this- and if so, what are you doing?

Ummm... I either wash my hair in the morning and re-style it, or put on a headband, which just pushes everything down and out the back.

I think you mean COWLICKS, hair issues, vs. COLICS. I was thinking you meant aerphagia.

Anyway, shower in the AM should cure all,

cowlicks

cowlicks, right. Colic is something entirely different. Sorry for the confusion.

Shower's are no help, actually. Even after a shower, blow dry and handful of product, i have these weird cowlicks I never had before- right under the straps for the headgear. I mean, if goofy hair is the price I have to pay for a good night's sleep, I'll take it. I just wondered if anyone else has experienced this, and what ya'll do about it.

Interesting...if you are a fella, and you don't like it....I suggest a brush cut! :lol:

But that is interesting that even after a shampoo in the ol shower it still stays. Yeah I get a Mohawk look from my straps!!! :lol: :shock: But it's gone after the shower.

I'm lucky - I don't have much in the line of hair to get cowlicked
