Etymology

The word 'coiffed' originates from the French term 'coiffer', which means 'to arrange the hair'. It is derived from the Latin 'coiffe', meaning 'to cover or to put on'. The word evolved during the 19th century as the fashion for elaborately styled hair became popular in both Europe and America. Initially, 'coiffure' referred to a hairstyle or hairdo, but over time, it came to be associated with more elaborate and high-maintenance styles. The term emphasizes not just the style, but the care and effort put into achieving the perfect look. Today, 'coiffed' is widely used to describe hairstyles that have been meticulously crafted, often suggesting that they reflect a person's attention to personal grooming and fashion.
