gamine
These days, a gamine is a girl or a young woman with playfully attractive, boyish charm. In the nineteenth century, a gamine was actually a female street urchin, which explains why Anne Hathaway's hair is often described this way - having played the shorn-haired Fantine in Les Miserables. For one about to embark on a similar style, it's nice to be able to put a chic French term to it: gah-MEEN.
