Quick Tip for Neat Payos

Do those behind-the-ears payos always get untucked? This Frizz Tamer wand is the solution that will keep your son looking neat all day.

Do you have a son who wears payos behind his ears? Often, those payos are always flying and he’s constantly hearing nudges from Mom, “Tuck those payos behind your ears!” Or, even better, she’s always reaching for them to try to make him look a little neater.

Until reader Shifra Kahn learned about the Garnier Fructis Frizz Tamer wand. It was after the upsherin of her young son when a friend clued her in. 

“How is it, with all my boys, that I didn’t know about this before!” There must be BCP readers that don’t either know!

Now, she tucks the payos behind, then brushes them with the wand and… “Now, instantly, he’s neat!”

It’s quick and easy enough that it can also be used on the way to the bus stop!

    Works great for flyaway hairs on girls’ ponies too!

      Differences between the two courtesy of instinct AI.
      The main difference is smoothing versus styling hold:

      1. Garnier: a hair serum wand for smoothing frizz and adding shine. The brand promises up to 12 hours without stiffness or flaking. Contains argan oil and plant keratin; silicone-free, with no drying alcohol.

      2. got2b: a styling gel for both eyebrows and hairline flyaways. Marketed for strong, all-day hold and sweat resistance. The tube has twice as much product: 0.54 vs 0.27 fl oz.

      I’d lean Garnier for a natural-looking touch-up, got2b for setting edges or brows. That’s based on their advertised uses, not a proven side-by-side hold test.

        How do you use it to curl payis? Why is it better than gel?

          I dont think it can be used to curl them, but once made, can use the stick to keep flyaways in place for boys whose hair is not so naturally neat. Esp at the top. Or to touch them up later on in the day if going out. They tend to get kind of fuzzy by the top of the ear.

    My girls use eyelash wands for their hair, and I never thought to use one to keep the hair by my ears neat before putting on my sheitel or snood. You can get a large pack of wands from Temu for cheap and use them with gel or hairspray.

    Genius! My first boy is turning 3 this winter so I’m saving this one! Was never a fan of payos behind the ears because they always look messy

    We always use hairspray or gel (each child has a preference) with a comb and/or the goody styling brush. Both for boys peyos and girls flyaways!
