Why does my beard grow "up"?

Asked by Moegitto (2310points) October 2nd, 2011

After 9 years of constant shaving (military), I’ve finally begun to regrow my facial hair. The weird thing is, when I brush or comb downwards, the hair mats onto my face and feels like a Brillo pad. But when I go upwards (the direction they say never go), it feels like heaven. What’s happening? Did I do facial damage because of the long time shaving? Am I weird? Does anybody (hopefully male) have problems like this?
