forelock

A lock of hair that grows or falls over the forehead. / The tuft of hair growing between the ears of a horse.
Noun
pl: forelocks

This term describes a specific anatomical placement of hair, focusing on the area immediately above the forehead or between a horse's ears. It carries a descriptive, physical quality and is rarely used in modern casual conversation regarding human hairstyles, where terms like bangs or fringe are more common.

In equestrian contexts, the word is a technical descriptor for a specific marking. Because it refers to a distinct physical feature, it is treated as a standard countable noun, though it is most frequently encountered in the singular when describing a single individual or animal.
