Is one side longer or thicker than the other?

[ms.blue]

When I was braiding my hair today at work (it was a slow day) I noticed that I had to put more braids on my right side than on my left. Also I noticed that the braids were thicker on the right than the left. I don't have any breakage on the left side and the length appear to be even so I'm not sure why one side is thicker than the other. Do any of you have either one side longer or thicker or both?

yes. My right side is thinner. But i noticed that's also the side I usually comb and brush first. My left side is thicker

My right side is longer and thicker. But, I think it's because I have hand in hair disease, and I'm left-handed

Beginning of my journey..absolutely. I hated one side of my hair , thought it was never going to catch up. I learned to nurture and take better care of all of my hair. You do the same it'll all flourish in patient time.

yessss , part of the reason for my 1/2 trim 2weeks ago

and now its all good. untill next month , one side is just soo perfect and the other is well...blah

my left side is stronger than my right side, cuz whn i was relaxed thats the side i tortured most.

 

[Geminigirl]

YES and I HATE it. I call it my good side and my bad side. My left side is thicker and healthier looking.

 

[tjsant]

The left side has always seemed longer and thicker than my right side and I have always wondered why, I think maybe it's because I always wear my hear to the left.

 

[hothair]

The left side is more and grows longer on my head, I kept trimming thinking I must have done something damaging but alas no lol. I now just ignore it and treat like the rest and can see progress from not trying to "fix it"

This weird for me b/c my left has always been thicker but my right has been longer when I was relaxed but now the length is pretty much even except that now my right has gotten thicker. I know it can't be my sleeping pattern b/c I generally sleep on either side evenly. Maybe it was all my praying for that side to thicken up is the cause of this. Idk

My left side is longer and thicker. Go figure.

My right side is longer and thicker. But, I think it's because I have hand in hair disease, and I'm left-handed

I'm left handed and my right side is longer and thicker too! Have no idea why. I thought it might be the way I'm sleeping? Who knows?

 

[MissYocairis]

Oddly enough, my daughter is also left-handed, but her LEFT side is longer and thicker and denser! Go figure.

 

[Geminigirl]

Hmmm I'm right handed. Strange. I always find my left hand in my hair though. This is interesting.

 

[mysoon2behair]

My right side is thinner and shorter and I'm left handed. My stylist told me she thinks that the side you use more may tend to be thicker and longer...hmmm could be. :scratchch

 

[lluvyanna]

my left side is thick and when i part my hair and do pigtail braids for gym the left side looks so thick and nice and shiny and the right side looks healthy and shiny but like baby hair, i camoflague it by doing side or zigzag parts so i can add a little extra hair to the right side, and im right handed.

 

[rabs77]

OMG me too! My left side is thicker, healthier, grows faster, lies better etc etc etc. I m alwsys trimming the left side so the right can catch up. Im left handed, and always thought there was a correlation. Interesting that so many have the same issue.

*Bumping for nosiness (not sure if that is a real word or not)

 

[nique3]

I am so happy someone asked this question. My left side is thicker than my right side and I always wanted to know why. I'm right handed by the way so I don't know if that means anything.

 

[Grand Prix]

My right side is thinner. I think it my be because I tend to sleep on that side.

 

[ms.blue]

I'm right handed also but this new to me. I am thinking maybe I always work on the right side first when shampooing, conditioning and styling.

 

[BostonMaria]

Yes I have the same problem.
My left is shorter than my right. I think its because I sleep on my left side and I have horrible hair in afro disease (HIAD).

 

[Fine 4s]

My left side is thicker. Perhaps because I sleep on my right side more often.

 

[AVE One]

My left side is thicker and I am left handed. Wow, a majority of people have seem to be thicker/longer on the left. For as long as I can remember my hair has been that way. My mother even said as a baby the right side of my hair was always thinnier. Hmmmm...

 

[tenderheaded]

I'm a leftie, and my right side grows thicker and longer! I hate it, but you can't make the pokey side hurry up and grow!

 

[Stiletto_Diva]

I'm left handed and my my left side is thicker. It is also harder to smooth down my left side. When I flatiron my hair I actually have to turn the heat up to get my left side the same as my right.

Right handed, right side is thicker and grows longer than the left.

I try to switch up my wrapping, and I've switched my parts up, so the left side is catching up.

 

[Day Dreamer]

My right side is longer than my left. When I thought that the left side had caught up, the right side just grew right past it.
