Coiffing

/ˈkwɑː.fɪŋ/ verb

Definition

The act of styling, arranging, or dressing someone's hair; putting on or adjusting a coiffure.

Etymology

From French 'coiffer' (to dress the hair) plus English '-ing' suffix, creating a gerund describing the ongoing action of hairstyling.

Kelly Says

In historical courts, 'coiffing' a noblewomen's hair could take several hours with special tools, perfumes, and ornaments—making it an event requiring skilled assistants, not a quick morning task.
