How it's used
Refers specifically to the way hair is cut or arranged, rather than the hair itself. It is frequently used when discussing a visit to the salon or evaluating someone's appearance after a haircut. While it can be used in formal contexts, it is perfectly natural in casual conversation when commenting on a friend's change in look.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with 頭髮, which refers to the hair strands themselves. Remember that you change your 髮型, but you wash or brush your 頭髮.
