Is you hair thicker on one side?

No, or at least not noticeably, but I do notice one side seems to grow faster than the other

My hairs is weird. My left side is much thicker than the right, but the right side grows twice as fast as the left side,strange isnt it.

So I have to trim the right side more then the left side

My hair is thicker on the left side. I notice it when I'm night braiding or any other divided style but I don't think it's really noticable visually. I don't know about growth rates....haven't been that observant on that front yet.

yes

I have more on my left side than on my right. I tend to part further toward the left because of a cowlick at the center front. I also angle the part leftward when I have a part, otherwise braids are lopsided, etc.

But it's not hugely noticeable, or at least no one but me has ever mentioned it, sorta like the girls being different sizes: when it's not much, it's okay, just a minor inconvenience.

But the thought that one side would actually grow faster I had not considered or noticed. Hmmm

The right side is noticeably thicker than the left, but the left grows faster. Weird, huh?

I prefer to part on the left, too, so that doesn't help. Still, my hair is thickest at the back of my head, so it might not make that much difference.

Yeah, mine is thicker on the left as well. I wonder why that is... perhaps it has something to do with where we favor to part our hair...

My hair is thicker and stronger on the right side and it grows like weed compared to the left side. I haven't trimmed my hair for almost two years and the right side is a lot longer than the left. My eyelashes are also longer on the right side! I've tried to analyze why my hair is like this (do I sleep on the same side all the time etc.) but I really haven't found an answer. I used to trim my right side to match the left but I always ended up regretting it. After four weeks my right side was again a lot longer than the left!
