unsheared
Never met scissors
Unsheared describes something that has not been sheared—typically sheep or other wool-bearing animals that haven't had their fleece cut: The unsheared flock looked shaggy by late spring.
The term extends to anything not clipped or trimmed: unsheared hedges, unsheared metal.
