Crimp

Crimp \krimp\ , verb;
1. To press into small regular folds; make wavy

This word dates to the 1630's, possibly from Old English gecrympan ("to crimp, curl"), but most likely it's from Middle Dutch or Low German crimpen ("to shrink, crimp").

Of course, the best thing that's ever happened for the word crimp was the 80's
