noun / verb
frizz
FRIZ/frɪz/
Tightly curled or fuzzy hair, or making hair this way.
Humidity turns my smooth hair into a halo of frizz.
Etymology
Frizz probably comes from French friser, “to curl or dress the hair.” The noun developed from the verb, naming the curled hair itself rather than the act of curling it.
In context
you can let the curl ends of the hair hang down free if there are any weirdly long ones you don't like or bits of frizz sticking out adjust the look with some added pins
