It's grammatically incorrect. In what real-life situation do you need to use this sentence?

Also @tufguy remember that hair is a collective noun. Therefore we almost never use the plural "hairs".

Here is a humorous example of the exception I heard on the radio.

Interviewer: The makers of minoxidil claim it will increase hair growth by 100% in a month. What does that mean?

Dermatologist: it means last month you had three hairs and now you have six.

I was just confused about it. It happened to me a long time ago.

What happened to you? The only thing that happened in the main sentence happened to Tom.

 

[emsr2d2]

What is the correct way?

I've no idea. I don't have the faintest idea what you're trying to express (or why).

Some of my hair keep sticking up even after combing.

 

[emsr2d2]

Some of my hair keeps sticking up even after combing I comb it.

See above. What happened to Tom from post #1?

Actually @tufguy English has an idiom for that. A tuft of hair that tends to stand up even after combing is called a cowlick. You could say, for instance: Pankaj has a cowlick.

Some of my hair KEPT sticking up even after combing.

Try using hair gel.

That was just a sentence I wrote.

We've asked you time and time again to use real-life situations for your questions. You're now telling us that this is something that really used to happen with your hair. It would have been a lot clearer from the start if post #1 had said something like this:

I have a problem with my hair. Some of my hair keep sticking up even after combing. Is that the correct way to explain it?

If you'd said that, the very first response would have given you the corrections you needed and that would have been the end of the thread, saving time for everyone. I truly feel like you never listen to anything anyone says here.
