Not all equal to the ear

It gives us a lot of trouble during the morning styling and it is useless to try to flatten it, it does not allow itself to be tamed easily. Who he " ? " The spike, " obviously. This strand of rebellious hair stands proudly on every head and can make us life / hairstyle impossible . But we are not all equal in the face of the ear. First, it depends on the nature of the hair:

- Curly hair should not touch their ears . For the more you work a curly hair, the more the loop foam and it does not improve the rendering. The ears are thus allowed to live on curly hair.
- The fine hair often have to touch up their ears after a few hours while the thick hair can easily tame an ear.
- It is advisable for the oily hair to wash the hair regularly . Indeed, on a hair that tends to grease, the ear will mark immediately.

We all have at least one spike at the birth of the hair , behind the head. But some can also have a bad fold (or even 2) on the forehead or in the nape of the neck . Fortunately, several solutions exist to put an end to the reign of the ear. Only common instruction, to control the ear on wet hair , directly after washed the hair. Tasting his or her ears is much simpler.

The techniques of hairdressers to tame the different spikes

• The back ear
  Everyone has this spike. It is found at the birth of the hair, behind the head. To tame it, just take the lock of hair where the ear is and pull it on so as to keep a tension on the wick , while drying it with a hair dryer . This helps to smooth the wick and remove the ear . This technique is easier on long hair than on short hair. On hair to the boy, the spur often returns to waking. It is then advisable to give again a blow of dryer to try to tame the spur the next day.
• The ear in the neck
  While on long hair, the ear is drowned in the mass, on short hair to the boy, it is another story. Especially if 2 ears have decided to settle in this place, then the mule cut comes back strong, giving a peak effect at the neck. To remedy this, cut a little short or you can dry the wick very flat but this may cause a bit a bit long. Moreover, with the perspiration, the spike returns, it is better to cut.
• The front spike
  The worst of all, the one that gives us cold sweats when we see it in the morning in the mirror: the front ear. For the followers of the fringe , it is better to pass a little water every morning and then dry it with the tip of a dryer , flat, starting from the root. Once mastered and the root dries, one can give a little volume by raising a little the locks. Be careful, this is done after drying, otherwise the spike goes up.

For those who do not have a fringe , but one or two ears, there is a strange technique:
- Make a line in the opposite direction of the ear (example: if the spike leaves to the right, a line on the left).
- Divide the hair into 4 equal parts by plating your hair well .
- Take 4 socks and wrap your hair on each of the socks.
- The next day, the root is flat, and so the ear has disappeared! Moreover, thanks to the socks the hair has no traces of pliers or elastic and this technique gives a nice wavy effect on the tips.

Which products to use

To try to keep a maximum of the ear, it is better to bet on fixing products such as lacquer or a spray after blow drying . Instead, we opt for light products to avoid the cardboard effect of the hair. Another tip to hide his ear: dry shampoo. It prolongs the effect of shampoo but not only. It helps to inflate and thus to give volume to the hair . Once brushed in all directions, the hair camouflages the ear. This technique works especially on fine hair.
