Coiffed

/kwɑːft/ adjective

Definition

Styled or arranged (of hair); wearing a coiffure or having received professional hairstyling.

Etymology

From French 'coiffer' (to dress the hair), the past participle entered English to describe elaborately arranged or professionally styled hair.

Kelly Says

A 'coiffed' hairstyle requires specific effort and products—it's why the word appears in descriptions of formal fashion and glamorous figures, never describing someone's natural bedhead.
