Does hair grow clockwise or counter clockwise?

Depends on "YOUR" personal growth pattern. People have many different growth patterns, distinguisaable ones would be cowlicks and/or swirls. Cowlicks occur around the perimiter of your hailine and swirls occur within your hair/on your head. you will also notice you have a different growth pattern on your left side compared to your right side, thus, allowing people to have a preferable side that does better for them. If you have a "great" hairstylist, he/she will cut your hair according to your unique growth pattern to ensure better hairdays =)
