and his pale brown hair grew down-from high
flat temples-in a point on his forehead.
Where did his hair grow?

Note that I have changed your thread title. Titles must include some/all of the words/phrases/sentences you're asking us about. Also note my corrections above. Quotes should be enclosed in quotation marks. Use an ellipsis to indicate that your quote starts in the middle of a sentence. Don't break a sentence over two lines unless you've reached the end of the text box.
Book titles should be in italics and page numbers should be cited as "p." followed by a space then the page number (in digits).
The two hyphens you used (between "down" and "from", and between "temples" and "in") should have been dashes. You need to put a space before and after the dashes.

I do not see how it is possible for any hair to grow this way.
