Are the hairs fine like baby hairs? Or are they more like the rest of your hair, only short? Look closely at the tips of the hairs, do they look blunt like they've been cut? Are they split? Or do they kind of taper?
If they're blunt or split, they're likely broken off. If they're fine and tapering, they're likely new hairs. ------------- sarah 40 inches did henna for the first time http://hairbraider.spaces.live.com - click here to go to My Hair Space

Over-all harsh treatment will cause breakage like that.... such as combing/brushing too hard, pulling your hair back in the same way often, pulling it back too tight, etc. Have you been shedding more than usual lately? I always noticed a ton of new growth after shedding alot. If they're gray, that would explain why you can't get them to lay down. Gray hairs are usually more coarse or stiff. I have the same problem. It gets annoying, but there's really not much you can do but wait for them to grow longer. ------------- sarah 40 inches did henna for the first time http://hairbraider.spaces.live.com - click here to go to My Hair Space
