Fear the BAD HAIR DAY! Damned double-swirls.

Anyone know how to get rid of those 'double-swirls'?

My hair does that some days, and I don't know why. I never seem to do anything different on those days, but the end of my hair just swirls up for some reason or another and I can't stop it.

EDIT: I guess I should add, I've had several girls tell me that the problem lies in how my hair dries (I let it dry naturally, after the towel). They say I need to blow dry... I tried it one time, and fuck it takes a long time! It's not as if caring for long hair isn't time consuming enough, now I have to blow dry for 15 minutes every time I fucking wash my hair?!

Letting it dry naturally takes a couple of hours +, though.
 
I love how Axe looks in the second pic "ummmm, whats the answer for question 5? Lemme peak Per!!"

I thought he was trying to get the answer to question 1 (which is C, by the way).

Wut wut: Look for a straightening serum speciafically for people who let their hair dry naturally. I get double swirls too, unfortunately I only get them at the root in the front so it looks stupid because I have /a/ curl at the top then straight through the rest of my bangs. But, anyway. >.> I use CHI Straight Guard. Its kind of hard to find, though. In standard stores, at least. You could probably find something similar. Experiment.
 
Might have to check into that :p

I always thought I was screwed since it's to do with how the hair grows. Unless we're talking about different things.

That's my problem (though my head is definitely less baby-like). When those two tornadoes hit each other, it's out of control.

I solve it by simply having tons of hairwax and generally short hair. In this case I was poor as shit and couldn't afford to go to the barber.

Yep, we were talking about two different things.
But, in general, if one's hair is long enough, it is [typically] impossible to see the hair swirl that you are talking about.
 
How long did it take for you to grow your hair and how long are they? At the moment I let mine grow too but they are just about 12cm long...

You're awesome!

For me, it took 2 years to get shoulder length, which is where I keep it. If you're growing your hair out, just know that about 1 year into it is the worst. Your hair looks crappy and is hard to manage for a long time, but it's a necessary step. If you're willing to rough it through the shitty phase, it's worth it.

Not sure if you were concerned about that, but when a guy stops growing out his hair and cuts it short that's usually the reason (barring balding).

Thank you ;)

Damn.... the 1-year phase will come soon but I think i will stand it..!
Oh and I recognized that my hair gets curley when it gets longer.. What a surprise cause noone in my family has curls. :rofl:
 
It took me six years to grow my hair from shoulder length to mid-back length. Your hair will grow faster if you get it trimmed every 2-3 months. I don't do that though. Every time I go in to get my hair cut, I lose 4-6 inches. >.<

Hair gel/hair spray is your friend when you don't want to deal with fluffy hair bullshit. I'd recommend hair clips or headbands to control the 1-year-hair, but those are too fucking girly.
 
^^^ Whenever I get a trim it's incredibly aggravating. The last time she took off like 7 inches, after I said 3.
 
I always say half an inch. Then the next words out of her mouth are, "Oh, no, you need to cut more than that." After reiterating that I want half an inch off, she cuts 4-6.
