    Brush your hair back starting at your forehead, and then all the way around. Then use a generous amount of gel to slick it back into place. Lastly, after the gel dries a bit, take a wood bristle brush ( or any short bristle brush), and lightly go over the brushed back hair. Smooth it down with your hands.

    Why did I lose my fringe three months after my hair was chemically straightened?

    What do you mean by "lose" it? Did it fall out? If so, you may have suffered chemical damage to the roots in that area. It could also be that your hair grew out -- or perhaps you're styling it differently?
