comb out
Explanation:
"Ausfrisieren" means to comb out the hair after clips and curlers are removed to arrange it into a natural looking hair-do.

Example:

"Combing Out
The final step in creating a hair style is to comb out the hair. Once the set hair is dry, the rollers or pins are removed, and the hair is brushed to distribute the curl evenly and to achieve a smooth line. If hair lacks desired height or fullness, it may be "teased" (back combed) to add bulk under the top hair, which is then smoothed down to follow the co~tour of the head. Then the hair is lifted slightl~" l)y the handle of a rattail comb, and hair spray is lightl'. applied to help hold the style in place."

Explanation:
My suggestion is based on http://www.berufsdatenbank.at/le_beruf1.php?id=69&from=start... which provides the following description:

"... Sie beherrschen weiters Einlege- und Föntechniken (z.B. die handgelegte Wasserwelle) sowie verschiedene Bürstentechniken. Besondere Bedeutung kommt dabei dem sogenannten ***Ausfrisieren*** zu, also dem Frisurenfinish und der Anwendung verschiedener Mittel zur Festigung der Frisuren (Haarspray, Gel usw.)... "

Not entirely sure, though, balding as I am :-))

Can you provide a sentence or paragraph in which the term occurs?
