Root Explanation

Hairstyling → It is formed from "hair" (from Old English "hær", meaning the fine strands growing from the skin of humans and animals) and "styling" (from the verb "style", which comes from Old French "estile", meaning to fashion or arrange). The word "hairstyling" refers to the act of arranging or fashioning hair.

Memory Tip

Think of 'hair' as the strands on your head and 'styling' as the act of arranging them — that's why hairstyling means arranging your hair.
