On the side of my head, my hair is curling into a spiral for some reason. This has never happened, and it's been like that for about 4 days now. What should I do?
well, often when one grows one's hair, odd curls, whorls and awkward sticking-outs often make themselves known since the hair was never long enough to show those until you let it grow.
there is a notorious step in growing long hair, the "awkward stage" when it is long enough to be unruly but too short for gravity to help, or to put it into a ponytail. It's a stage, nothing to worry about too much.
Then again, you may have just gone to sleep when your hair was damp and had it dry funny...;)
