ringlet
Bouncy hair coil
A ringlet is a long, spiraling curl of hair, typically hanging loosely: Her hair fell in ringlets around her shoulders.
The word suggests deliberately styled or naturally bouncy curls rather than tight coils.
Ringlet also names a type of small brown butterfly with eyespot markings on its wings.
