agree Taña Dalglish : De acuerdo. Perhaps "wild" (volatiles) and free-flowing tresses, as there are four adjectives in the context. There are many examples of the use of tresses on Google, and IMO, it suits context here. Tresses is quaint, but nth. wrong w/quaint. Un abrazo.

reminds me of the advertisements where they use a fan to make the model's hair float as if there were a breeze
