tresses

Long flowing locks

Tresses are long locks of hair, especially a woman's.

The word is literary and somewhat old-fashioned, evoking romantic or poetic imagery: Her golden tresses cascaded over her shoulders.

It typically appears in the plural and suggests flowing, luxuriant hair rather than a simple hairstyle.
