Hair above forehead
The forelock is the lock of hair that falls over the forehead, or in horses, the part of the mane between the ears.
To tug or touch one's forelock is to show deference to a social superior—a gesture now used mostly as a symbol of servility: I'm not going to tug my forelock to management.
