What the hell is a car flick O_O

 

It's some hair that grows the wrong way. If you have short hair it makes it stand on end but if you have long hair it gives you a sort of curtains effect.

I do straightem my hair and that doesnt get rid of them.

Thought this thread was going to be asking about movies to do with cars... I had already thought up "Herbie: Fully loaded". Damn.

 

When I tried to search my problem in google it kept coming up with car movies. Maybe they are called calf licks? ::shrug:

They are called cow licks.

 

Source: wikipedia

 

A cowlick is a swirl of unruly hair that doesn't comb down properly. It is usually combed over to avoid showing baldness. Alfalfa of Our Gang (later The Little Rascals), Martin Short's Ed Grimley character, and Jim Carrey's Ace Ventura character have some famous pop-culture cowlicks.

 

Cowlicks are caused when hair follicles on the scalp grow in a spiral pattern, usually clockwise. The most common cowlick position is at the back right corner of the head (like Dennis the Menace), but they can appear at other positions on the scalp as well. Some people have cowlicks that do not form spirals. Instead the hair follicles grow in a different direction than the rest of the follicles on the scalp. For instance, hair growing outward may be contrasted by hair growing inward, causing the hair to stick up instead of lying down.
