Back-combed
I believe the answer is:
teased
'back-combed' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for teased that I've seen before include "Kidded in sedate manner" , "Made fun of, playfully" , "Sedate (anag.)" , "Poked fun" , "Tantalised or annoyed goodnaturedly" .)
