mophead

Tousled hair mass

A mophead is a thick, shaggy mass of hair that resembles the tangled fibers of a mop.

The term is used both as a noun describing the hairstyle itself and as an informal, sometimes affectionate way to refer to someone sporting such unruly locks: The mophead in the corner turned out to be my cousin.

Mophead also refers to the removable, absorbent part of a mop that does the actual cleaning.
