A childhood belief about hair

when i was little my nan used to care for me before school, and she used to tie the top half of my hair back in an up-down style. there was always this curly bit that stuck right out of the side of my fringe, and seeing as i had reasonably straight hair, it confused me.
i said "whats that curly bit for?" my nan said "its just a corr flick, thats all"
but i always thought she called it a corn flake. what had curly bits got to do with kellogs cereal?
