Direction of Hair Part

Hi, although my question is not really related to hair loss but you might know what I’m trying to figure out. Why is it that everybody’s hairline naturally goes one way or another. I only part my hair on the left side because that’s how it goes and looks better that way but if I try it on the right side, it just doesn’t look good and makes a weird wave look. But I’ve also noticed that some people can part their hair either way and look the same on each side. Any feedback is appreciated, thanks.

If you look and see which side your hair swirl is on, the part usually follows it. Some people have more than one swirl, so they can move their part from one side to the other. It’s just the way you were born.

Behaviorists are studying the hair swirl (also known as a whorl). A previous post about hair whorls can be seen here for our interest — Researcher Finds Link to Counter-Clockwise Hair Whorl and Sexual Preference?
