flicky-haired

I'm wondering about the meaning of "flicky-haired," as in

"Not posh, was what she meant. Not Oxford High. Not flicky-haired and clued up and rally rally nice."
(Catherine Alliott, The Secret Life of Evie Hamilton)

Could it be referring to streaks of a different color?

Thanks!

It's probably a nonce-creation, as I've never seen it before; but I understand it as referring to the gesture of flicking your hair back, as a sign of a certain character.

What is the context?

Well, Sophie Kinsella uses flicky hair too. Here's the context (from her novel Remember Me?):
"We lapse into silence and I find myself eyeing up Mum's dress--Laura Ashley, circa 1975. Frills come in and out of fashion, but somehow she doesn't notice. She still wears the same clothes she wore when she first met my dad, and the same long flicky hair, the same frosted lipstick."

So I take it it actually means lanky hair? Here she seems to refer to the look of an era rather than to her mother's personality (who would constantly flick her hair back).

What do you think?

The kind of hair that moves interestingly (alluringly) when you flick your head. It's rather a flirty sort of gesture with your head which is showy with certain hairstyles but looks very unnatural if you have no hair to move about.

This is exactly what I think of on hearing flicky-haired, especially in your first quote, Susanna. The fringe is 'flicked back' off the face.

Oh, that! Had no idea a word which can refer to that sort of movement could translate into a reference to a sort of hairstyle. Thank you both!
