Oh, it's a very short, boyish haircut, first named in the sixties, I think.
Sandy Duncan wore one (especially when she played Peter Pan).

And wings carefully tied back so as not to knock over the delicate,
expensive glass knick-knacks when they browse in fancy gift shops.

Well, seeing as though Balrogs are merely fallen angels, one would hope
that they too are bound by the same wing-ties.

Have you ever seen that old newsreel showing how they snipped off Dreyfus'
officer's insignia? In the same way, the Balrogs were lined up and had their
wings snipped before they were booted out of Heaven.

Trimmed, my dear comrade Lång, trimmed. To conform to the latest
aerodynamically fashionable featherstyle that had taken the Undying Lands
by storm at that time.

And a grand sight they were! A thousand Balrogs, their fluffy pink
slippers gleaming rosily in the last light of the evening sun, their
wing-feathers arrayed in fetching pixie-bangs, their burnished whips
flicking through the air in unision, as they screamed their last defiant
challenge to Manwe ("#@$^%&*"!~~^£$€!") before flying out to Udun. A
scene so poetically captured in the poet's immortal lines:

"Trim, groomers, trim, send the wild feathers blowing,
And ascend, balrogs, ascend, soaring, soaring, soaring."

A moment never to be forgotten.
