Straight hair ladies, does yours do this too?

cheryl2006 · May 2011

I got a new hair cut the other night (just above the shoulders) and was really excited about it, until the next morning I realized that one side always flips out. Just one side. It looks so dumb. I also don't really like both sides to flip out. I prefer straight or curled in.

I am hair clueless and don't really know how to fix this. This morning I left the house with everything slightly curled in towards my face. Just went to the bathroom and saw the stupid side is flipped out! Yesterday I straightened my hair and by 9, that one side was flipped out.

Any suggestions of how to fix this? Do I need more hair product?

Yep, mine does this. You can get some hair wax and help the other side flip out, get a blow dryer and a round brush to make the sides go under & in, or just let it go however it wants. I have done all of the above and have decided that my hair is going to do what it wants regardless. I just went really short now, use hair wax & my blow dryer to make it stick up and out and go.

I have a piece of hair that does this too. I use straightening stuff in my hair and that helps, but I hate it. Generally, I just straight iron it to death. My hairstylist does know about it & cuts layers so that piece is less noticeable. Let me know if you find somethign that works better.

Yep. Not only that, but my hair only curls on one side of my head.

It's just something us straight-hairs have to accept. Plus nobody else even notices. Smile

I make sure my cut is at the right length or it will do this. For me, it needs to be either above my shoulders or past my shoulders. If it sits on my shoulders, it flips out. I can't use product or my hair drags down.

I think mine is the same. I was looking at pictures of my hair shoulder length and decided that I would cut it back to that. Well, then I decided above shoulder length would be fine for now. I always forget my hair does this and then I just have to deal with it until it grows back out.

I also workout at night so that's usually when I shower. Maybe I'll just shower in the morning too so I can control the hair drying better. It'll grow out soon enough.

ETA: Also really glad this is not just me! So maybe I am the only one that notices it, because I always feel like I'm the only one with this issue!

Yeah, I would love for my hair to be right at my shoulders, nice and light, lots of movement...but then I get the stupid flip and it drives me nuts!

IMO-The good news is that if it's only doing it on one side, it's probably SUPER close to being long enough to not flip, so it won't be long.

Mine does that too! It's so annoying. I was going to post here about it too, but you beat me to it.

Yep. I either flat iron it, or if I'm feeling really ambitious, I'll curl the ends with a curling iron.

Mine does too! I let it do what it wants unless we're going out. Then I'll bust our the flat iron or curling iron.

Mine totally does that. What's worse is that it sort of curls/slants out on one side and in on the other, so it looks like I have this slanty thing going on with my whole haircut. So annoying!

Mine does that too! It looks like the wind is blowing in one direction. My flat iron usually fixes it though.

Well, my hair is wavy but it does this, too. I think probably the only thing that works is flat ironing it. But I can also put product in it/wet it and make mine curlier to hide it, too. GL!
