Watching a barber in Tokyo handle a double cowlick with just thinning shears changed my whole approach.
He didn't fight the hair's direction, just removed the bulk cleanly in under five minutes. Anyone have a specific thinning shear technique for stubborn crown hair?

Man, I feel you on that... it's a constant battle. My own crown hair just wants to do its own thing no matter what I do. The thinning shears trick makes so much sense though, just taking the weight out instead of trying to force it flat. I've been trying to work in small, vertical sections right at the root, just a few snips to remove bulk without making it look choppy. It's not perfect yet, but it's way better than how I used to fight it with a comb and a ton of product.

My own cowlick is so bad I once gave myself a reverse mohawk trying to thin it. Evan's vertical section idea is the only thing that saves me from looking like a confused hedgehog.
