Hairstyle

The way hair is cut, arranged, set or covered; a haircut is the part made with scissors or clippers.

Also: hairdo, coiffure, haircut

A hairstyle is any way of dressing the hair: the cut, how it is parted, set, braided or tied, and what decorates or covers it. A haircut is the shape made by cutting; the same haircut can be worn in many styles. Coiffure, from the French, is an older word for an elaborate style. Hairstyles say a great deal about age, faith, status and belonging, and many cultures have rules or customs about when and how hair may be cut or shown.
