Ratted Up

I love the expression "ratted-up" to describe hair. You know it, don't you? Not the dreadlock look - this is a '50s, '60s thing; when you went out, you ratted up your hair around the sides, and pouffed it up on top.

Goog is surprisingly little help here. You'll just have to picture it, or remember it.
