A whorl in hair is when hair leaves the follicle at what?

  1. A straight path

  2. An angle, forming patterns

  3. Without any pattern

  4. In a downward direction

The correct answer is: An angle, forming patterns

A whorl in hair is when the hair exits the follicle at an angle, forming patterns. The other options are incorrect because hair typically does not leave the follicle in a straight path or without any pattern. In addition, hair does not always exit in a downward direction. A whorl is a specific term used to describe the angle at which hair exits the follicle.
