Marcel
Heat-set finger wave
Marcel is a French given name, the French form of Marcellus.
It appears in English primarily as a name for French or French-Canadian men.
A marcel is also a hairstyle featuring deep, regular waves, named after François Marcel, the 19th-century French hairdresser who developed the technique.
To marcel hair is to style it this way: She had her hair marcelled for the wedding.
