Are bad hair days a regular thing for you? If so, blame your parents. A new study found much of it comes down to your genetics, and the hair pattern that got passed down.
That circular pattern of hair at the crown of your head is called your "hair whorl." Like "whirl," but with an "O."
Just like fingerprints, your hair whorl is unique . . . like which hairs point in what direction, and whether it goes clockwise or counterclockwise.
Until now, most experts thought your hair whorl was determined by a single gene. But the study found it's actually controlled by multiple genes all working together.
In other words, your crazy, untamable, cowlick-filled hair was a group effort. You can blame your mom AND dad for your bad hair days.
