The only scene to my knowledge where Watari and 'a girl' are talking about hair is in GenSouKai arc Part 32 (in the middle of Volume 9), when he and Wakaba are bemoaning the weather's effects on their hair. Here is the translation of that section according to theria.net:
[In the employees' office, Watari and Wakaba are moaning about frizzled hair and the rain outside.] Watari: "Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhh---------... Rainy days are depressing~~~" Wakaba: "...me too. My hair won't listen to me at all." Watari: "Falling rain is a bane to people with natural hair like ours..." Wakaba: "My hair has been like this ever since I woke up this morning------~~~" Terazuma: "...." Terazuma: "So just cut it already. Your hair." Terazuma: "I'm the one whose even more inconvenienced. Idiot." Watari: "What do you mean 'just cut it'!! Huh, what!!!" You straight-haired people don't know our pain.
It's possible your friend read 'straight-haired' as 'straight'? Watari certainly doesn't declare his homosexuality then. In fact, out of the Shinigami, I think Watari is shown to canonically perv on women the most often (albeit usually in a disturbing way).
Not that I don't think he likes men, but Yami as a manga was in complete denial. ^.^
