Fictionary is a column showcasing beauty-related words that don’t exist, but should.
“Hook-up hair” was coined by my gal Leah in college at Boston University. Pretty self-explanatory, it’s the state of aff-hairs your mane takes on after a major makeout tryst. It’s a little bit of self-teasing from friction on a pillowcase, a little of mussing. One could charitably call it “texture,” though hook-up hair’s defining characteristic is that it plum will not return to normal (even if it was washed just pre-steamy sesh) until you re-wash and style it again.
Which you won’t do immediately. You’ll rock your hook-up hair to brunch and then later to deconstruct the highlights with your trio of besties over a mimosa.
And tell me: Have you experienced hook-up hair?

“Bed head” is ambiguous–it’s from sleeping or most patently NOT sleeping and engaging in other activities. The defining characteristic of hook-up hair, as I mentioned, is that only a re-wash/style will cure you of it. With bed head, a run of the brush will usually take care of the situation.
Looks like “bed head” from the 90s. Why do you need a new term for it?
think they need to change it to “messed up” hair!
No hook-up hair for me yet, either. Bummed.
No yet i don’t have any experience about Hook-up Hair. Actually i don’t like this style also.
