YOu spoke about hiding long hair with the "COif". Can you tell me what that is and how it is done. thanks
Yes, according to the American Heritage Dictionary:
coif (koif) n.
1. (also kwäf) A COIFFURE.
2. A tight-fitting cap worn under a veil, as by nuns.
3. A white skullcap formerly worn by English lawyers.
4. A heavy skullcap of steel or leather, formerly worn under a helmet or mail hood.
—coif tr.v. coifed, coif-ing, coifs.
1. (also kwäf) To arrange or dress (the hair).
2. To cover with or as if with a coif.
Notice that newspaper headlines tend to use short words for obvious reasons (e.g. "blast" instead of "explosion").
Now, the definition of COIFFURE is,
coif-fure (kwä-fyÜr') n.
1. A HAIRSTYLE.
—coif-fure tr.v. coif-fured, coif-fur-ing, coif-fures.
To arrange or dress (hair).
So, COIF is how it is done!
