Greetings,
Please excuse the Finnglish, but I don't know how this should be spelt in Persian – please could you let me know?
My dictionary of slang:
-Dāf barghi : A hot girl who has puffed up hair and lots and lots of make up on
‘Dāf’ is no problem, but what is the significance of ‘barghi’?
Is the dictionary right in stating that there is no extra kasre between the two words?
All the best, and many thanks,
Simon

electric/shiny
This comes from برق which means electricity/shine/lightning.
The word can also mean "fast".
"barghi" by itself can also mean "electrician"

I guess that by extension, "barghi" in this context could mean "hot".

Textured/ textured hairstyle
In Persian we use برقی or موی برقی to refer to the kind of hairstyle which is puffed up. Another term for it is موی پریشان, again referring to the kind of hairstyle which is puffed up. In some occasions we say انگار موهاشو برق گرفته.
We use other kind of hairstyles like(faux hawk) مدل خروسی، مدل بکهامی. To make sure I have provided some links for you.
