How to say "to do one's hair"?


As in "I wake up, do my hair, have breakfast". Is there a verb for this? I'm
guessing you can't just use 髪をする.




As pointed out in the comments by @chocolate, 髪をセットする is a good way to say "to
do one's hair". It can involve blow-drying, applying hair wax etc.

髪型をセットする means "to fix one's hairstyle", which sounds reasonable if you always
wear the same (elaborate) hairstyle.

If you are among friends you can also say 寝癖を直す as @永劫回帰 suggests, meaning to
get rid of the unnatural bouncy waves coming from sleeping. (As people wash
their hair in the evening and usually not in the morning, this is a thing in
Japan, especially for people with shorter hair.)
