One side fatter than the other
Jun 27^th, 2007 at 12:42pm

Sorry about the stupid subject line, but I didn't know how to phrase it.

At night, when I do up my night braids, and I part my hair straight down the middle, the right side of my hair makes a fatter plait than the left side. Now, it's not noticeable to the naked eye (well, except mine), but I can definitely feel a difference. So, has anyone else noticed that one side of your head has more hair than the other? Is this normal or am I the oddball (again)? I wonder why this happens?

So, I just make a part on the left side of center, and it all balances out. I am trying to type without my glasses so please forgive the spelling errors. Debr

The left side is thinner than the right side. I see it,maybe not others,but when you feel it, you are self consious about it. At least I know I am aware of it.

My natural part, however is almost 1 inch to the left of center, so that tends to even out the thickness of my braids.

I have more hair on my left side. I just make minor adjustments to my do and it will look even.

One side of our bodies is longer, larger, stronger and more flexible than the other. This may be because we use our dominant side more than the other, allowing it to develop differently. However, I don't know why it happens on our heads, too. The circulatory system, perhaps?

Healthy hair is beautiful no matter what length it is.
