bedhead
Author’s comment
Меня интересует это слово в следующем контексте:
"She checked herself out in the mirror. Good: as often when she'd just woken up, she had perfect bedhead. It was known to be one of her best looks". ("Reality", John Lanchester).
В принципе, я понимаю, о чём идёт речь (она осталась довольна видом своих помятых после сна волос), но как это точно перевести? Всем заранее спасибо :)
