Hi,
I'm an asian guy that decided to grow out my hair long because I was bored of the same old "one and a half inch" hair-cut. I've been growing out my hair; it's been about five or six months now and the hairs on the very bottom portion of the back of my head are about three and half inches long now (They normally would be completely shaved, right?). My problem is that I have hair that has an annoying tendency to flair out to the sides. Okay, I can accept that because I figure I can contain it in a pony tail once it's long enough. But I started noticing that some of the hairs in the back are wirey, coarse and wiggly....Is this because this is the first time I've let my hair back there grow out in my life and my scalp is desperately trying to encourage hair growth? Will they eventually calm down after a year or two?
Oh, and my hair type is wavy/straight and dry. I hate it.
Help me out anyone?
The hair that grows in your beard is different from the hair on top of your head. Similarly, hair on the scruff of your neck is a third kind of hair. It will not necessarily be the same as the other hair on your head, and it normally has a much shorter terminal length. If this hair does not go well with the rest of your hair (for some men it does, for others the mismatch is striking), you will probably want to shave or trim it off, unless it is seldom seen. Men who leave their hair down all the time, for example, don't have to worry about this because no one ever sees that hair. If you most often go for a ponytail and this hair clashes with the rest of your hair, you will probably want to remove it. It's not going to change how it looks, and it is not going to grow long, anyway.
