Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "moh" (as in "more") + "TOH" (as in "toll") + "soh" (as in "solo")/

Meaning

Curly, tangled, or super voluminous hair that refuses to be tamed. In Colombia and Ecuador, "motoso" describes wild, untamed hair that has a mind of its own, the kind you wake up with after sleeping on it wet and no amount of brushing or product will fully fix.

Examples

He woke up with his hair all frizzy and tangled after sleeping with it wet.

My hair is super wild today, I need a treatment to calm it down.
