How it's used

Primarily describes hair that is frizzy, voluminous, or unkempt, but also applies to plants that have grown in an untamed or bushy manner. It carries a slightly informal tone, often implying a lack of grooming or maintenance. When used for hair, it suggests a soft, puffy texture rather than just being tangled.

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with words describing thick, lush vegetation that is healthy or well-maintained, as this term often implies a slightly messy or neglected state.
