lock of hair
Ringlet or tendril
A lock of hair is a small section or strand of hair, often cut and kept as a memento or token of affection.
Victorians exchanged locks of hair as romantic keepsakes, sometimes weaving them into jewelry.
The phrase suggests something deliberately separated and preserved: She kept a lock of her daughter's baby hair in a locket.
