What is a cowlick attributed to?

  1. A specific hair color

  2. Hair density

  3. A particular pattern of hair stream on the forehead

  4. Use of certain hair products

The correct answer is: A particular pattern of hair stream on the forehead

A cowlick is a tuft of hair that grows in a different direction than the rest of the hair around it. It is commonly found on the forehead and can be caused by a particular pattern of hair stream. This means that the hair is growing in a swirling or whorl pattern, creating the appearance of a cowlick. This pattern is determined by genetics, not by hair color or density. Additionally, the use of hair products does not contribute to the formation of a cowlick.
