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.
