Double crowns!

[Imcrc]

Do you have one? How many people do you know with them?
What old wives tales do you know about them? Any superstitions?
Only a bit of fun, I've just noticed my baby has it! Each wurl goes in a different direction.

I read it was connected to how the brain formed underneath ... the whorls ...
And that most people with double crowns are left handed ?

My mum and my daughter both have a double crown. I loved DD's little mohawk when she was a baby and her owl face from the back. They are both right handed though @IceDiscoSkater.

my DH had one in his younger days ( not an issue now! as long gone) and another wurl in his beard that drives him absolutely nuts.

I have a double crown, as does my husband and my mum. It doesn't seem to give them much trouble but it causes chaos with my hair - sits fine just after washing & drying, next day after sleeping on it, I look like I've been sleep mopping and rattled my head across the kitchen floor 20 odd times!

My DS does. He has to have his hair quite long on top, otherwise it sticks up in all directions!

My DS has three probably with a 6 in the middle of each one

I have a double crown, not left handed though IceDiscoSkater. I have long hair so it's not obvious, but sometimes my parting looks odd towards the top of my head, it goes off at a tangent instead of ending in the middle

DS has one and his hair resembles a duck's bum if he leaves it without a cut for long

Who knew?!

I just looked at some pics of this and now I feel weird. It's a bit like trypophobia!

yes and for at least 20 years people have told me I am starting a bald patch.

1dc,dm,dn and me.

My son has a double crown & is left handed. It’s perfectly symmetrical, and means if he hair is too short it sticks up.

Double crowns are just a genetic quirk, nothing more sinister!! We all have them here

I have and it's a pain. My hair is thin and fine and have to deal with the back every day or I have a bald looking patch. I had no idea there were superstitions about it. I am left handed though and can do loads of things with both hands so bordering on ambidextrous. My writing is very legible with my right hand and I catch a ball with my right.

DH has one. It never bothered him until he started going bald and he developed baldiness on both crowns!

DD has it too. But she's not worried about double bald patches 😁

Yes !

Hubby and both kids have double crowns

Also , all left handed. (Hubby ambidextrus)

Thats really interesting. I didnt know it was a linking trait.

DH and DS are both right handed.

My son has one. Hair sticks up everywhere, he either needs it really short or long.

When he was a baby a chinese lady asked me about it and told me it meant he would be clever.

Thank you for all of your responses!
I am now a bit concerned about how we wre going to deal with her hair ! Haha! Hopefully she will inherit my family curls I missed out on and it wont be so obvious!
