Context is same as previous (ハネ) question: "ハネ・くせ・広がりが特に気になる部分。。。" Based on a (Japanese) friend's description, I'm thinking "poofiness," but I'm not at all sure. Thanks in advance!!

Thanks it was really helpful!
Peer comment(s):

neutral gamemov : I personally think it's more like 'puffy' than 'frizzy'. Common Japanese for 'frizzy hair' is more like 'ちぢれ毛'.

Hi, gamemov, I appreciate your comments. Yes, I agree. Both puffy and frizzy hair are hair that "spreads out" (that 広がり hair syndrome). Puffy hair used to be popular years ago as a style. I think puffy frizzy, frizzy puffy, frizzy/puffy work.
