How it's used
Refers specifically to the act of setting or styling hair, often involving heat or products to achieve a particular shape. It is distinct from simply getting a haircut, which is usually described as 剪頭髮. You will mostly hear this in the context of preparing for a formal event or a special occasion.
Examples
Where are you going to get your hair styled tomorrow?
She went to get her hair styled today, it looks great.
Related words
Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 剪髮, which focuses on cutting the length of the hair. 恤髮 implies the final styling process rather than the removal of hair.
