Why do males have that twirl on their hair?

Question

I don't think women have it, but men have like this twirl or cyclone on their hair (behind the top of the head) Does this mean anything any speculations. What do you think..

Answer 1

Every one has it. Where I am from it is called a crown. And if you have two of them (it is called double crown)you will travel to another country. It is also how the hair grows. But a funny story, when I was in High School I sat behind a guy who was double crowned and I told him he would travel to another country. I guess he thought I was crazy. But after High School he ended up signing up for the Reserves and went to Iraq.

Answer 2

It's called a cowlick.  Women most certainly do have them.  But their hair is longer so it doesnt show up even if her hair is parted in the middle

Answer 3

women have it too, you just can't tell because of our longer hair. it's just normal, how the hair grows i suppose, I think it's a colic or however you spell that.

Answer 4

LOL, that is how hair grows.  When it is kept constantly short it grows in a circular pattern.  Yes, women have it too... however because women generaly keep their hair longer the roots start to grow in a different downward direction.  That is why you generally wont see it on a womans scalp but it is prodominant in a man.  Check out the top of a babies head some time.  Cute question a star for you for being original.

Answer 5

Once upon a time, there was a tornado on a dude's head...

Answer 6

Maybe they have curly hair..

Answer 7

Pay attention to the direction of twirl: clockwise occurs on heterosexuals, with uneven length of first and third fingers on either hand. Counterclockwise twirl is characteristic of g**s and bi's, together with equal length of first and third fingers, w/ possibly an extended length of index finger, on either hand.
