How do i straighten my hair from the root?

Try a strong pommade wax or hair glue. BedHead makes a great hair glue for short hair. Failing that you are just going to have to blowdry it on low with a diffuser everytime you wash it and while you are blowdrying comb the hair in the opposite direction it wants to go in. I had to do this to retrain my part as well. It takes about 2-3 weeks depending how often you wash your hair. If you really want immediate results you might try buzzing it all off and letting it regrow while combing it in the direction you want it to grow. That's pretty extreme though...
