curly
Like coiled springs
Curly describes hair or other material that forms curves, spirals, or ringlets rather than lying straight: She has naturally curly hair.
The word extends to anything with similar winding shapes: curly fries, curly brackets.
As a nickname, Curly often refers affectionately to someone with curly hair—or ironically to someone bald.
