Wondering which way hair roots grow?

Just wondering do hair roots grow just straight out or at an angle? Like my hair just falls straight down. But if I decide to try and train my hair to stay brushed back would it be going against the growth direction of the hair roots?

Wondering which way hair roots grow?

On some areas of most people's heads, the hair does grow at an angle, usually in the back where there is a swirl. There are also "cow licks," a patch of hair that grows in a different direction than all the hair around it making it stick out differently. If you want to style your hair to go straight back, do it, but don't expect to "train" it to do so. You'll always need a styling product of some kind to help it stay where you want it.
