Cosmetics, Beauty / hairdressing | | German term or phrase: Deckhaar | My context is a list of models, or more accurately model types, for a hair stylists' training session:
Modell 4: Kurzhaar, langes Deckhaar
I know what it means, but suspect that those in the know have a more elegant way of putting it than "long on top" ;-)
Can anyone enlighten me?
Thanks,
Ian |

| Clarification request(s) and responseCHRICKNIC: 2:57pm Feb 1, 2006: Ian, I did not find anything that sounded right. You may want to check out this site - they never mention "long on top" or anything like it. http://www.leestafford.com/uk/thelook/glossary/#gloss_a
They say something about "protective layer"...Good luck -
