no-see-do 

when a person completely neglects the back of their head when brushing/combing/styling their hair, hasn't washed it for a few days and the back is all cowlick-y at the crown, or is trying to get too much mileage out of a wash and blowout -- the hair looks fine if you're looking head-on, but like crap if you're looking at it from behind.
Sally: Is that a bird's nest on the back of her head?
Betty: No, it's just a no-see-do. She forgot about the half of her head she couldn't see when she looked in the mirror on her way out.

Molly: Whoa, she must have just gotten dropped from a tornado.
Jen: Possibly, but I think she's just rocking a no-see-do. She got her hair done for that event four days ago and thinks she can still work it.

You won't see a single no-see-um without a group.

no-see'ums

The things that go bump in the night.
“How did you sleep?” said Mom, unloading the dishwasher.
“Oh,” said Abigail. “You know. The no-see’ums as usual.” She didn’t want to flip Mom out so she didn’t elaborate: the overdrawn Visa; Jonny’s tuition; her injured shoulder from where the box fell in the Amazon warehouse. But Mom knew anyway. She always knew. She was Mom after all. She was a bear.

Mike stared at the ceiling--two o’clock a.m., and the no-see'ums were at him again, biting. Why had she left him? He was a good guy. Maybe because he couldn’t treat her as lavishly as she wanted. And anyway, everyone was going to die. Perhaps it was that at the bottom. And there was nothing he could do about it. Was there? God was good, wasn’t he? No, said the no-see'ums, there is no God. And all went dark.
