'character' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with contact as well as being verbs in their base form.

'style of hair right in bubbly' is the wordplay.
'style of hair right' becomes 'r' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'bubbly' becomes 'fizz' (I've seen this before).
'r' going inside 'fizz' is 'FRIZZ'.
