I've recently aquired a older boar brush, that was stored knot down in a shave mug, giving the knot a bad case of bed head.
I've tried a few ideas to straighten the hair, but with little results.
Question: Is there a way to straighten this knot.

Thanks Mike
I would try letting it soak in hot tap water for a half hour or so, and then somehow put a form on it until it drys. A couple elastic bands might do the trick???
Tried that... Even boiling water , put a hair band on it, and let it hang for a week. It helped. But its still wonky.Quote:

Maybe it just needs a few more treatments of the same and some use?

I've been trying for years to get rid of my cow lick. Maybe try spit???? That's what my Mom always did.
Milady's coiffeur must know something.
how bout a curling iron?
My EverReady synthetic looks like this outback and I just use the old thing because it lathers cheap Williams Mug so well. After I'm through shaving I rinse it good and take a coarse comb to it.
If I had your skill Outback,,, I'd simply replace the knot. That knot looks like its been through h*ll & back.
I haven't tried this but I would wrap it in a plastic sheet material real tight up to the point of where it starts to curl. then wet the end/curl section and try to position it in the opposite direction of the curl and let it dry. What gives me this idea is from straighten horn. You know how that bounces back after straightening sometimes :<0) An over correction might do it in less attempts.
Ahh cow licks and crowns don't you love themQuote:

Ed - how the heck are you!Quote:

I agree with Ed. Just use it and over time I bet it's shape will come back.
The wife would by thrilled.Quote:
