tress
Curl of hair
A tress is a lock or curl of hair, especially a long one.
The word appears almost exclusively in the plural: her golden tresses, his dark tresses fell across his forehead.
Literary and somewhat old-fashioned, tresses suggests flowing, romantic, or abundant hair rather than a simple strand.
