ringlets

Bouncy hair coils

Ringlets are long, spiral curls of hair, typically hanging down: Her hair fell in perfect ringlets.

The word suggests deliberate styling or naturally bouncy curls, often associated with children or formal hairstyles.

A ringlet can also be any small ring or circular shape, though the hair sense dominates.
