El cabello debe estar bien peinado y arreglado en todo momento, dando/presentando un aspecto elegante...

Una de las definiciones que Oxford da para "wear":

Have (one's hair or beard) at a specified length or arranged in a specified style.
‘the students wore their hair long’

‘She was wearing her long raven hair down like always, with just a touch of make-up gracing her pale skin.’

Saludos cordiales.
