Ugh, I fought with mine for months. The trick that finally worked was asking my stylist to cut them with a much stronger side part instead of a center part. She used texturizing shears to thin the ends just a bit, too. Now they fall way more naturally and don't do that perfect split thing. It took the daily fuss down to maybe a quick brush and go. Total game changer for me.
No way! That's exactly what my friend went through with her bangs last year. She had this perfect center part that just would not behave, always doing that weird split thing by lunchtime. Her hairstylist finally convinced her to try a heavy side cut and texturizing, kind of like your tip. I mean, she was so skeptical but now she says it's like having different hair, way less fuss. Idk, maybe it's just me but seeing her finally stop fighting with her hair every morning was pretty cool.
Tell me about it. They look great on day one but become a part-time job by day three. You practically need a live-in stylist to keep them from doing that weird split down the middle.
