cowlicks
Hair that rebels
A cowlick is a tuft of hair that grows in a different direction from the rest and refuses to lie flat, typically at the crown or hairline.
The name comes from the appearance of hair licked by a cow.
Cowlicks frustrate styling efforts: No amount of gel could tame his cowlick.
