peer agreement (net): +4| cheveux en pétard deliberate style Explanation: Just checking in to note that this also sometimes refers in a positive way to a deliberately casual style, popular these days, where people put gel on their hair to make it look as if it is uncombed, when it is in fact a deliberate 'sticking up' style. Remember the underlying meaning is 'hair sticking up all over the place'. Just been watching a French lady TV presenter with a super example of this sort of styling! |
