Cowlick
A section of hair that grows in a different direction from the rest and stands up or sticks out.
A cowlick is a tuft of hair that grows against the direction of the hair around it, so it springs up however it is combed. The name comes from the look of hair licked by a cow. Cowlicks are common at the front hairline, where they can push a fringe sideways, and at the crown. A stylist works with one by placing a parting to follow it, leaving more length to weigh it down, or cutting around it.
