Thread: How can i get rid of and or prevent bed head?

Im a 14 year old boy with short hair like about an inch long and in the morning before school my hair is sticking up on the sides and it looks ridiculous. I also have no time to shower in the morning.Any tips to get rid of it or even prevent it? Thanks.

Wet a hairbrush and run through your hair when your getting ready. Try a little gel to tame it too.

Sleep standing up, silly Billy!

When your hair is wet apply a little gel and comb through with a wide tooth comb to get it fully coated. Don't apply too much gel or it will look greasy!

Get up earlier.

Try an ivy league or crew cut. The hair can be the same length or usually somewhat longer at the front hairline. The close taper on the back/sides and shorter hair up the back over the crown should not stick out even after sleeping on it. The hair on the top of an ivy league(long crew cut) or crew cut is graduated in length, from the longest hair at the center of the frontal hairline to the shortest at the back of the crown. The back/sides are then tapered down as close as one wishes. The idea is for the outline of the top hair to approach the horizontal when the head is viewed in side profile with the hair brushed back off the forehead to form the short pompadour front. Due to the downward slope of the skull to the frontal hairline, this can only be accomplished when the top hair is graduated in length longer to the frontal hairline. This also makes the hair much easier to groom, considering the effects of gravity, the downward slope of the skull and the hairs natural tendency to fall forward. When viewed from the front, the outline of the top hair of a crew cut or ivy league contours to the most complementary degree to the skull shape as determined by the barber given the shape of the frontal hairline, jaw line and other factors. Of course the outline of the top hair of a flat top crew cut appears horizontal when viewed from the front as well as in side profile. A control wax aka butch wax is used to groom any of the short pomp cuts-crew cut, ivy league, flat top crew cut. A fresh very light application of wax in the morning and a guy is good to go. If the wax is used in the proper amount, it will not be visible or evident even when touching the hair. Back when more than every other college guy and college prep high school guy wore a short buzzed style, including an overwhelming majority of college and high school athletes, it was mostly crew cuts, flat top crew cuts and ivy leagues, and it was not only for convenience but also because when designed by a good barber, the short pomp styles can fully suit almost any young guy's head shape, face and neck shape, frontal hairline and facial features. Butch cuts, currently referred to by some as buzzcuts, were mostly home haircuts given to boys under around twelve years of age. The answer at the following link explains the basic short cuts. The first two links contained therein are quite informative:

Some barbers describe an ivy league as a crew cut just long enough to be parted and combed to the side if so desired. An ivy league can also be worn with the hair brushed up off the forehead to form the short pomp front or with the short bangs brushed down on the forehead like a forward brush cut.

[Around 5/8"(#5) at the front hairline, graduated to about 1/4"(#2)at the back of the crown. Back and sides are tapered from around #0A length (1.2mm)down to #000 length(0.5mm) at the ears and nape.]
Grooming any of the short pomp styles- crew cut, ivy league, flat top crew cut- is basically the same.
1) Towel dry hair.
2) Barely dip fingertips in jar of wax.
3)Transfer wax to palms.
4) Smooth palms over hair.
5)Brush hair off forehead to form short pomp front.
Whichever style you decide on, take a photo to help describe the desired haircut to the barber or stylist. One way to determine hair lengths in a photo, is to measure the length of the hair and then the length of the face from the center of the front hairline to the tip of the chin. Assume a male adult face length of around eight inches and then proportionally adjust the lengths. The lengths of many short upright styles is longer at the front hairline than one imagines from looking at photos.
Good Luck!
