Yates says that this can’t eliminate the cowlick completely since the follicles are positioned in a way that can’t be moved. A cowlick will look like your hair is parting in a specific direction, while balding could mean that the hair is sparse from thinning or gone from the scalp entirely. Additional places where cowlicks might appear include the nape of the neck and along the sides of the head, near the temples. If you’ve ever dealt with a stubborn section of hair that sticks out above the rest, it’s probably a cowlick. For days when we don't have time to conceal any unruly locks, Dimachki says the best thing to do is place it in a slicked-back bun or textured braid, and no one will be the wiser.
What is the musical Hair about?
As the mother on the TV show inspired by the Cowsills, Shirley made a point of calling them "the real thing". Though she did not sing with them that night, immediately after her announcement the Cowsills played "I Really Want to Know You"; it is the one song recorded by both The Cowsills and The Partridge Family. Shortly afterward, The Cowsills stopped playing together as a band amid a series of interpersonal squabbles. The individual members went on to various career attempts in and out of the music industry, but they did appear at Madison Jr. High School in Tampa, Florida as "The Cowsills" for one performance during the mid-1970s.
Appearances in media
In September 1968, after their summer tour, the Cowsill family relocated to the West Coast, into a house in Santa Monica. Not long after their arrival, a package came in the mail from none other than TV comedy legend Carl Reiner. This one may seem obvious, but when you have a stubborn cowlick, you’ll want to use hair styling products that have an extra strong hold.

John was also part of the backing band for The Beach Boys’ 50th Anniversary Reunion tour during 2012 and performed on the reunion album recorded in 2011 and 2012. In earlier years, he performed with artists such as Jan & Dean and Dwight Twilley. The band was formed in early 1965 by brothers Bill, Bob, and Barry Cowsill; their brother John joined shortly thereafter. Originally Bill and Bob played guitar and Barry played the drums. When John learned to play drums and joined the band, Barry began playing bass.
We chatted with Nina Dimachki, former artistic director at Kérastase, Trey Gillen, master hairstylist and color specialist, and Jennifer Korab, celebrity hairstylist and colorist to give us all the tips for hiding your cowlick. Keep scrolling to see the expert-approved hairstyles that will magically conceal a cowlick. Flash forward to the 1990s when some of The Cowsills (Bob, Paul, John and Susan) again regrouped. This time they were going to hit the oldies circuit but somehow playing just oldies didn’t appeal to them. They had too much fun on some new material written by Bob and his wife, Mary Jo.
So, this incarnation of The Cowsills started playing small clubs and showcases in the Los Angeles area and across the country. The Cowsills also went back into the studio and Global was a result of those sessions. This incarnation of the band started playing small clubs and showcases in the Los Angeles area and eventually spread out to similar venues across the country and into Canada.
Keep reading to learn more about what a cowlick is, whether you can get rid of it, and how to style it. The Cowsills made their first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show on October 29, 1967. Although contracted for ten appearances, their second and final appearance was on December 24, 1967, after Bud confronted the Sullivan production team over a technical glitch during the performance.

Balestier would mike the drum kit with a pair of Sony C37As as overheads, a Shure Unidyne 545 SD on the snare, and another 545 inside the kick drum, wrapped in a blanket. Lee Mendelson Productions, which was producing Reiner’s special, were clients of a Hollywood recording facility, TTG Studios. McCadden Place, near Highland and Sunset, was built by engineers Ami Hadami and Tom Hidley, both A&R alums, in June 1965. This line is a reference to the fact that Jesus is often depicted in paintings and other artwork as having long hair. The line is suggesting that the speaker’s long hair is a symbol of his rejection of mainstream society’s expectations. Ahead, three styling tips you can also use to temporarily hide a cowlick.

Some even have more than one, but it’s not obvious since the weight of the hair pulls it down. Pair them with a long fringe to add some weight on the cowlick to help control them. "Long layers and a longer, face-framing fringe will help with any cowlick," Gillen says. "To get bounce and volume you’ll want to use a little more product with longer hair," he adds. He recommends using SACHAJUAN’s Hair Mousse ($35), which is extremely weightless yet truly delivers bounce and body. If your fringe won’t cooperate, Gillen recommends growing it out into a side swoop with shoulder-length locks.
Then the process was repeated on a second pass, giving four vocal tracks for backgrounds. After Bill and Bob self-produced their next album, We Can Fly, which now included another older brother, Paul, and young sister, Susan (mixed by Roy Cicala at A&R Studios in New York), the group recorded a single, “Indian Lake,” with Wes Farrell at the helm. The Cowsills were known for their distinctive vocal harmonies and catchy pop songs. They were one of the first “bubblegum pop” bands and paved the way for later acts like The Partridge Family. Their music continues to be popular today and their influence can be heard in the work of many contemporary pop artists.
Both Barry and Susan had their lives turned upside down by Hurricane Katrina, which hit the gulf coast in August 2005, since both were residents of the New Orleans area at the time. Susan and her family lost their home and most of their belongings but they were all safe during the hurricane and it’s aftermath and returned to live in New Orleans in January 2006. Barry, unfortunately, did not get out of New Orleans before Katrina hit and was among the missing of Hurricane Katrina for 4 months. Then, sadly, on January 4th, 2006, The Cowsill family got the news that Barry’s body had been found and identified. At the memorial service for Barry, the Cowsill family was informed that Billy had passed away following his battles with hip replacement surgery, back surgery, emphysema, osteoporosis and other problems.
Early recordings were released by the four brothers on Joda and Mercury Records. Barbara (“mini-mom”) joined the group to record The Rain, The Park and Other Things and shortly thereafter 7 year old Susan and brother, Paul, were added to the group. They were signed by MGM records and the group began it’s climb to the top!
