Cow licks (actually called widow’s peaks when they are central) are actually remnants of your juvenile hairline. Many women think that they are attractive in men and in women-over half of them actually have some for of widow’s peak present. I wrote an article on this here: https://newhair.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/phenotype-article-published.pdf. There are some good photos of widow’s peaks in men and women in the article.
