Why does my hairline grow weirdly?
As you can see, there's a huge piece of hair sticking out in the side of my hairline. My barber suggested that I let it grow it out so I can comb it to the front of the hair but it's been a month and it still sticks out when I comb it to the front of my hair and it's driving me crazy. Should I cut it or still let it grow out? Also, what is this called so I can do research on it?

If it comes to a point in the front of your hairline u have a widows peak. Instead of it growing straight across it grows out differently.

Its gonna take a few months to grow out enough to be less noticable but its worth it I went threw the same thing with my hair and it worked out fine, its normal.

There is nothing growing weirdly; a small section of the hair at the hairline has been cut too short for the current style. Either get a crew cut with the short pomp(pompadour) front at the length of that hair or shorter and then grow out the hair or just leave it alone as the hair grows out. The average rate of hair growth is 1/8" per week. There is no scientifically proven way to increase or decrease the rate of hair growth. If a guy has a short style, it is going to take a while to grow out. The best way to describe a style to a barber or stylist is with a photo.

..... a guy can grow out his hair and have it look great as it grows out if he keeps up with haircuts, getting a slightly longer style each haircut. Assuming an average rate of hair growth of 1/8" per week and haircuts every three weeks, the following styles are a haircut apart: short crew cut; medium crew cut; short ivy league; ivy league; long ivy league; short regular haircut, regular haircut. A good barber can usually design a regular haircut or one of the short pomp(pompadour) styles-crew cut, ivy league(long crew cut), flat top crew cut- to fully suit most young guys.

Some barbers consider that all crew cuts should have a flat top, so it is best to not rely on words alone for even a widely recognized style like a crew cut. A guy growing from a crew to an ivy definitely does not want a crew cut with a flat top as on certain skull shapes, the top center, the so called landing strip area can be buzzed nearly to the scalp.

Search the internet for images of football(soccer)star Lukas Podolski for examples of ivy league and crew cut styles. A minute dab of control wax aka butch wax will keep the hair looking well groomed at crew cut and ivy league length. A butch comb also helps with grooming the short pomp styles- the small, flat, plastic, oval, pocket brushes that one finger fits through and barbers sell for about a dollar. A boar bristle military brush is usually available for a few dollars and while too large for a guy to carry in his pocket, is nice to have at home.

from the style above, a guy can go for haircuts every six weeks to add shape as the hair grows out.
about four months growth beyond style above:
