hairdos

Buns and braids

Hairdos is the plural of hairdo, a somewhat dated or playful word for a hairstyle—the way someone's hair is cut, arranged, or worn: The bridesmaids all had elaborate hairdos.

The word often suggests something deliberately styled rather than natural, and carries a slightly old-fashioned or lighthearted tone.
