unstraightened

Left not aligned

Unstraightened describes something that has not been made straight—remaining bent, curved, crooked, or disordered: Her unstraightened hair fell in natural waves.

The word often appears in contexts where straightening was expected or possible but didn't occur: unstraightened teeth, the unstraightened path through the woods.
