Curly hair

/ˈkɜrli hɛr/ noun

Definition

Hair that grows in twists and spirals instead of straight.

Curly comes from a word meaning 'to twist' and hair comes from an old word for head covering.

Kelly Says

Curly hair is like having beautiful springs and spirals growing on your head! It bounces and dances when you move, just like a slinky toy going down stairs.
