The front of Wes' hair had always looked like Big Bird and a tornado had a baby and glued it on his head.

I have spent years studying the architecture of hair, and Wes had what I call a realy mean "cowlick." An isolated swirling hair growth pattern. His hair was very dense, so in addition to growing in a circular pattern, the hairs were stacking on top of each other, pushing each other into directions where the hair didn't want to go, creating more resistance and more chaos.

One of my scissors shapes women's hair by removing hair under the surface which doesn't need to be there. I adapted this technique to work in men's hair. In Wes' case, it cleared the path for his hair to flow in the direction which it wanted to go. Halfway into it, the front section switched direction and snapped into its natural growth pattern. He hasn't had to use gel since then... a year later, His confidence has soared, he has started dating, and he got a promotion at his job.

I'm The Silver Scissor - I won't say that my cut changed his life... but I won't say it wasn't involved.
