What are hair swirls?

Hair swirls, also known as hair whorls, are natural patterns in hair growth where strands of hair spiral outward from a central point on the scalp. They can vary in size, direction, and number, with some individuals having multiple swirls. Swirls are often most noticeable on the crown of the head and can influence the way hair falls or styles. Their presence is determined by genetics and can be a unique feature of an individual's hair pattern.
