'''Whorls''' <br>
Formed by changes in direction of flow of hair. <br>
<br>
*'''Simple''' : Focal point from which hairs diverge. Show as 'X'. <br>
*'''Linear''' : Two opposing sweeps of hair meet from opposite directions along a line. Show as a line. <br>
*'''Feathered''' : Two sweeps of hair diverge along a line but the direction of flow of each sweep is at an angle to the other to form a feathered pattern. Show as 'X---' with line indicating the direction of feathering. <br>
*'''Head Whorls''' : Position of head should be clearly specified with reference to midline, eye level, white markings and to each other. <br>
*'''Neck Whorls''' : Neck is divided into three parts - upper, mid and lower. Should be described by their proximity to crest, neck, jugular groove and windpipe. <br>
(All whorls should be sketched and described in narrative. Only exceptions are pectoral, stifle fold and forelock whorls which are almost universal and need not be recorded unless they are double, unusually situated, or abscent. <br>
<br>
'''Other Characteristics''' <br>
