head toss
Dismissive neck gesture
A head toss is a quick, often dramatic flick of the head that sends hair backward or to the side.
It can signal confidence, flirtation, or dismissiveness: She gave a head toss and walked away.
The gesture draws attention to the hair and, by extension, to the person making it.
