Why is my hair growing in a V shape?

[AngelaP]

I just got a touchup this past Tuesday and I had my fiance take my pics tonight. My hair has gotten longer, but it ends in a v shape. I think I've seen that in other member's pics as well. What causes that?

 

[candie19]

Don't you hate that?!? That's a good question.

It is the natural growth pattern of hair. Either your hair grows in a U, V or an inversion of one either one.

WOW! This is a very interesting thread. I wonder what pattern my hair grows in>>?

 

[lunalight7]

My hair looks like an inverted U in the back. I never thought to describe it this way until karezone mentioned it. I always thought that it was damaged and therefore growing slower back there or something...now I know...

My hair grows in a V pattern too..I've always wondered about this.

My hair tends to grow in whatever shape it's cut in.

my hair grows in a U-shape. i really like it!!

 

[moneychaser]

My hair grows in a sharp v-shape and I hate it, because it took forever to see any length in the front...

My hair has always grown in the V shape and i have grown to love it. What i hate is when i get a trim and the damn stylist will even it up

 

[simplycee]

Mine too! No matter which way I cut it, it always grows out into a V shape. I had to have several conversations with my stylist and finally cut her loose because she ALWAYS wanted to even it up. I lost alot of length that way. Now I trim my own ends and let the V shape continue to grow.

Mine also grows in a v shape, I use to hate it because when I went to stylist they would cut my hair in a straight line in the back. I think that's another reason why it was so hard for me to see any real growth.

Thanks! I never knew that. Usually it just grows the way my hairdresser cuts it.

It may be the way you sleep, do you sleep on your sides? I know that I tend to sleep on one particular side and it is a little shorter than the other side of my hair.

I thought that was normal like one hand being slightly larger than the other.

My hair grows in a "backslash" shape, like this /

My left side grows faster than the right. I've tried everything to see if it was really just the result of unequal handling, sleeping on one side more, etc. But at this point I'm really convinced that my left side just grows faster. No matter how many times I even it up, the left side starts to creep ahead of the right. oh well

 

[Ayeshia]

mines is in a v and its already starting to grow in like that. I have a twa, but the middle kitchen is longer than the sides

 

[ChasingBliss]

Yuk!! I have seen the inversion of a V shape and it's not attractive at all. Isnt it like when the very center of the back will not grow as long as the sides? I tend to see it on ladies with very damaged hair who insist on wearing it out in the back. It often looks brillo like with plenty of split ends so I learned to associate upside down V's with slow growth due to damage...No offense to health inverted V heads.
