Where it comes from

Borrowed from Japanese 芸子 (geiko) (from the Kyoto dialect).

noun geikos

Synonym of geisha. For geishas - sorry, for geikos - the wig covers the whole head. Apprentices, on the other hand, are entitled to only a half-wig, while, in the front, their own hair is brushed, back-combed, and sprayed heavily to finish the look.
