You can put a couple of washing pegs on the lower edge, say 3. These will keep the film straight. There are also expensive pegs especially for this purpose.

I do put pegs on the film, and it keeps it from curling back, like it is rolled in the canister. The curl I am having is from top of frame to bottom of frame. When the film is hanging it looks like it would curl into a big straw, just not that bad.

A slight curl is not really a problem, is it?

I have a little curl, but not much. When I finish developing:
Hang the film using metal weighted clips. These were like $5 for a bunch. Much better than pegs, the weight does a lot to keep the film straight.
When I take it down, immediatly cut into strips and put into a plastic sleve/film holder. This goes into a nice three ring binder.
120 film never curls much, 135 does a bit, but not enough to cause problems when printing. If it's really bad, put some books on it for a week!

Thanks,
The curl isn't bad. Just makes it a little rough to get into the carrier for the scanner, and the enlarger. I'll have to get a bunch and try them out.

Maybe I've just been lucky, but Kodak and Fuji films don't seem to curl as you describe, but I have experienced severe curling with Ilford, and Agfa. Perhaps try one of those another brand of film?

i had that curling problem a long time with agfa and efke films. A solution for me was to dry them very slowly.
I hang them up in a warm and humid room open a window an lower humidity and temperature slowly. This process takes double the time to dry the film, but the curling is noch issue anymore.
