When I try to comb my hair, it always looks wrong. The top looks flatter than I am trying for, and the sides are the opposite, and never seem to stay flat, and they puff out. I also always get a giant cowlick on the back of my head in the center. [huh]
I use Brylcreem, and I find the hold it has is fine (I manage to make it stronger by shampooing only once every month.) However, I can't figure out how to comb the style I want (or maybe I have my hair cut wrong.)
I'd like to wear my hair in a 1950s style (not a pompadour.) The last time I got a haircut, I got long on top, very short on sides (I last got my hair cut a bit back, so it's not so short on the sides anymore.) I'd prefer if the sides were longer, if they stayed combed, that is. Am I getting the wrong haircut for the style I want?
Here are some examples of what I am trying to style my hair like.
