If i shave my head with a razor blade...

[erikiksaz]

What happens to the orientation of the hairs on my head? The hairs on my left side of the head tend to go straight up, whereas the ones ones the right tend to go slightly right. If i shaved my head with a razor blade, would they still go in their relative directions or would they all grow straight up?

I'm guessing they would grow as they normally would, since the roots are beneath the surface, but hey, doesn't hurt to ask...

It should. 🙂

if someone figured out how to change the orientation of hairs, they would make millions.

or at least a big kiss and a hug from me, because my beard swirls around and is really hard to take care of without cutting myself.

Well, I shaved my head once, and it all grew back the way it was.

the napp of your hair will not change by shaving with a blade.
