A person with curly hair; sometimes used as an affectionate nickname for someone with naturally curly locks.
Compound word from 'curly' (adjective describing hair with curls) plus 'head' (referring to the person or their head), common informal usage for identifying someone by hair type.
Before modern hairstyling, 'curlyhead' was more of a natural descriptor for people born with curly hair—some genetic backgrounds produce curlier hair naturally, so this word would have been especially common in some communities.
