Coiffure

/kwɑːˈfjʊr/ noun

Definition

A hairstyle or the arrangement of hair on the head; a distinctive way of styling and arranging one's hair.

Etymology

From French 'coiffure', derived from 'coiffer' (to dress the hair), this word entered English in the 17th century to describe fashionable hairstyles.

Kelly Says

A person's coiffure in historical portraits reveals their social status, age, marital status, and wealth—it was basically a visual ID card that told strangers your entire biography.
