Ringlets
They are called ringlets.
I did not know that.
From episode 6 of GATE, which is educational as well as entertaining.
Also: Don called it.

Drill hair. It is only called drill hair.

Ringlets are small circular ring-shaped curls (as opposed to long spiral curls). Many women get them naturally, but they can also be created by curling irons or curling papers/curlers/curl rags.
Drill hair is not natural. Human hair does not really work that way. I suppose one could get a perm that looked that stupid, but why? And yet it is an anime thing, I guess because European hair is a fantasy object for illustrators to do strange things with.

To explain better, a spiral curl is in the shape of a helix or spring and curls as it hangs down. A ringlet is a shorter amount of hair that is shaped like a circle (or of hair that hangs straight and then is curled into a circle only at its ends).
I suppose that the Rose Knight just sleeps with two giant curl rags in her hair, which has a sort of utilitarianism. But there has to be magic involved when it stays that way all day while riding. (Insert rant about perfect movie hair here.)

Anyway, drill hair is a type of spiral curl, which was my original and forgotten point.

The things around her face are "kiss curls" or sometimes "spit curls." There are other names for them, and sometimes one sees circular singlet kiss curls.

Sadly, I am actually pretty ignorant about hair. A lot of women have a lot more technical knowledge of this stuff, without even getting into the actual cosmologists out there. I actually learned more in the SCA than in regular life, albeit I recently ran into an early 19th century French book talking about this stuff in great detail in re: powdered wigs for men (just going out of style).
They say everybody is geeky about something.... A lot of women are into hair minutiae.
