QuoteReplyTopic: Straightening Long Hair Posted: April 18 2003 at 8:13am
You Muppets are crackin' me up.
As weird as it sounds, I have a very similar problem. My hair is naturally wavy all over, but one section in front is ALWAYS following a very specific pattern while the rest straightens out easily with a little styling. Everything I've read indicates that each person can have several types of hair textures on their head: curly parts, wavy parts, stick-straight parts. It really depends upon the shape of the hair shaft on different parts of your head. Straight hair is round and curly is oval-flat, so it might be that that particular section of hair has more elliptical-shaped strands than the rest.
I recommend styling that section of hair straight with gel. It works best (for me) if I blow dry on a cool-medium setting using a flat paddle brush to pull my hair straight while drying. I don't recommend doing this every day, since it can be damaging in the long run.
Well let's hope some of our suggestions help you! Please don't cut your hard-earned hair off over one wayward section! :-)

If I don't continuniously use the comb in my hair as it is wet/drying, or blowdry it; I get one big wave on the back part of my hair.
Maybe your hair is a bit thinner on that side (possibly from sleeping on that side for years) and since it is thinner it is lighter and that is why it is getting a wave in it.
Was your hair wavy at all before you grew it out?? I knew that if my hair was thinned and cut quite short, I'd have a lot of waves in it.
Beauregard! The first thing I HAVE to say is that you're a Muppet and I'm a Muppet! Yeaaaah! (You do remember Beauregard, right? He was the guy that took care of the theatre on The Muppet Show! Cute.)
Ahem. But about your hair. I am thinking that it sounds nice. Hair doesn't have to be uniform. But if you do want uniformity from time to time, maybe put the straight parts of your hair in rollers?
I can't imagine what would cause this, except maybe somehow a portion of your hair is damaged, and the other portion is not? Do you always sleep on one side or something like that? Maybe you brush one side more gently than the other? Like, if you always hold the brush in your right hand, the left side probably gets a tougher brushing than the right side.
But really I have no clue. I'm just making up possible explanations.
Suuuuu.. Per Grover!

I thought it was time to update this posting. I appreciate the replies/help/suggestions that have been posted. Based on what has been posted, I think that you might be right in the cause for my unusually wavy hair on the one side of my head - I have always slept on the right side of head, and that is the exact place where the hair is crazy - the right side going toward the back. And my hair does feel thinner on that side too!!! Wow! you guys are good! Now, if I can ask, what would can anyone recommend (apart from sleeping on the other side, which I have already done by the way!) to fix this? Should I try some product to give it some volume? If you can recommend a specific product that would be great! Like I mentioned before, my hair is normal/thick, so I need something strong! THNX. Much Respect!
My problem is that now that I've grown my hair out long I've come to notice that one portion of my hair (on the right side of my head) has this wicked wave going on, while the rest of it is straight and really nice. Has anyone else encountered something of this sort? Or better can anyone recommend a product/treatment that might help me put a permanent end to this? I just don't want to have to cut it all off after all this hard work!
