When does 鬇鬡 describe someone as grotesque?
For a person, it can mean ugly or uncanny.
Han Yu and Meng Jiao's Tang poem applies it to an unruly beard; Tang poet Yuan Zhen uses it for ugly people. In Pu Songling's Qing-dynasty tale collection Liaozhai, it describes people as grotesque and strange. Context tells you whether the hair sense is literal or the appearance sense is figurative.
