coiffure
Elaborate hair arrangement
Coiffure is a somewhat formal or fancy word for a hairstyle, especially an elaborate one: She arrived with an immaculate coiffure.
The verb means to style hair: freshly coiffured for the gala.
The word retains a French flavor and often carries a hint of artifice or careful arrangement.
