Literary notes about Frizzle (AI summary)

In literature, the word "frizzle" is often used to evoke a sense of disorder and uniqueness, particularly in descriptions of hair. In Louisa May Alcott's "Little Women," for instance, the term appears both as a descriptor of an unfortunate hairdo—illustrating Meg's despair over an uneven frizzle on her forehead [1]—and as part of a quirky beauty tip, where transforming unkempt hair into a trendy look demonstrates a playful defiance of conventional style [2]. This dual usage highlights how "frizzle" can convey both vulnerability and creativity, reflecting the characters' adaptive responses to social and personal challenges.
  1. My hair, oh, my hair!" wailed Meg, looking with despair at the uneven frizzle on her forehead.
    — from Little Women; Or, Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy by Louisa May Alcott
  2. "It isn't spoilt; just frizzle it, and tie your ribbon so the ends come on your forehead a bit, and it will look like the last fashion.
    — from Little Women; Or, Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy by Louisa May Alcott
