tufts of their matching dark hair similarly askew

Warm rays of evening light began to slant through the northwest-facing window of the room as
Paul’s breaths grew more quiet. Cady rubbed her eyes with chubby fists as her bedtime approached,
and a family friend arrived to take her home. I held her cheek to Paul’s, tufts of their matching dark
hair similarly askew, his face serene, hers quizzical but calm, his beloved baby never suspecting that
this moment was a farewell. Softly I sang Cady’s bedtime song, to her, to both of them, and then
released her.
what does"tufts of their matching dark
hair similarly askew"mean?
