tufty
Growing in clusters
Tufty describes something having or resembling tufts—small clusters or clumps, typically of hair, grass, or fibers that stick up or out: tufty eyebrows, tufty patches of grass.
The word suggests an uneven, slightly disheveled texture rather than smooth uniformity: The baby's tufty hair stood up in all directions.
