coiffing
Styling someone's hair
Coiffing is styling or arranging hair, especially with care or artistry.
The term suggests deliberate attention to appearance: She spent an hour coiffing her hair before the gala.
A coiffed look implies polished, carefully arranged hair rather than casual styling.
The word carries a slightly formal or old-fashioned tone.
