This causes the hair on the right of my face to seem longer, and as it grows, it covers the part of my chin directly beneath it, making it harder to shave there properly and allowing new hair to grow at the surface in that area. On days like today, when I trim all the long hair, my goatee seems all misshapen where the short hair underneath has grown in. I call this curving hair growth the "Goateeolis Effect", and I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this strange phenomenon. I also wonder if all of us in the northern hemisphere get it to the right and if southern hemisphere people get it to the left.

I don't have what you're describing, but I do have a weird growth pattern just under my jaw on the right side of my face. The hair there actually grows in a swirl pattern. It's not visible unless I go a while without shaving...which is rare.

Basically, it looks like a miniature hurricane.
