Hello to everybody on this board from a long-time (2 months?) lurker.
I have already learned many things from here.
I'm 18 years old and about 3 months ago decided to grow my hair
instead of going to the barber (good choice, eh?) :). My bangs
reach the tip of my nose when pulled. I have very straight hair and
gravity already dominates. I have to constantly take it away from
my eyes as the bangs fall below them cutting my vision off every time
my head isn't oriented straight ahead. Things like reading or playing
chess (I'm a chessplayer) can be funny because of that. These
experiences are new to me, and I like them even though for some people
they may be irritating.
The only thing which I consider bad (though still not very bad) is
that the leftmost bangs instead of falling on my eyes like the rest of
them, curl about 90 degrees in clockwise direction (looking from my
side). I hope that this is just temporary and will look good when
longer. I'd like to know what may be the reason, because although it
isn't a big deal, it looks quite asymmetrically. I'm not using any
products apart from shampoo and conditioner and don't intend to.
Regards,
Kamil
Kamil,
Hello and welcome!
I too have very straight hair that also had one quirk while
going through the in-between stage - I had -one- wave in my
otherwise straight hair. It wasn't in front like yours but it
also left me with an 'asymetrical' look.
Now that the hair is longer, my one wave is gone... and I miss it :-)
You will probably find that long loose hair will not be symetrical,
it moves whichever way the wind blows. And a perfectly symetrical
look may not suit you.
Experiment with parting the hair in a different location, perhaps
you can make that curl work for you.
Welcome !!
I don't have straight but wavy/curly.
What I see in others with straight hair is ---
When it gets longer say shoulder length all the same length all around - front,side,back. Some take the front and pull behind their ears and have the side flow down over their ears so the front is out of the way.
Part in the middle, or comb front back - these are what I have seen with some with straight hair - try different things..

I reckon the flicks at the end of newly growing hair's because of gravity, as you know, and also the hair is still relatively short, so as it grows longer there's more for gravity to hold down, thus less curls as it grows.
The curls'll either flatten out or just stay there, but I doubt very much that they'll be a problem in months to come.

Welcome!
I've got straight/wavey hair (OK its wavey but loose waves if you Know what I mean). I have a similiar problem with my bangs, one side curves across my forehead, the other curves around my forehead.
I found that just styling it with water helped even it out, but also parting off centre, made the asymetry of my hair look more natural.
If you can't train your hair to be more symetrical (which becomes easier with more length), then you probably forget about a symetrical style and part from one side.
Good Luck with your growing...
