Japanese term or phrase: 髪に？？りとこし　(help reading handwriting)
Hello. Please see the scanned source text at the link below:

http://www.pmtranslations.com/proz.htm

I am interested in the phrase underlined in red.
It looks to me like:
髪にほりとこし
or
髪に？よりとこし

What does this say in Japanese, and what would the translation be for this phrase?

Thanks.
