Morphology

halfro + hairstyle

The headword appears to be a blend of 'half' + 'afro' combined with 'hairstyle', so the overall meaning (partially styled as an afro) is derivable from the parts. However 'halfro' is non‑standard/unstated in the word list and the blending spelling may not be immediately recognized by a B1 learner, so interpretability is partial rather than fully compositional.

Etymology

The noun halfro hairstyle may come from combining half and afro, so imagine one part of the hair big and curly like an afro while the rest is kept smooth or in a different style. That's why the name means 'a hairstyle where only part of the hair is an afro and the rest is another style'.
