[Linganth] Ojibwa word for male beauty work

Dear list members,
I was told that there is a word used among Ojibwa that describes male beauty work--doing things such as combing their hair just so, plucking unwanted hairs, cleaning their teeth, etc.  I suspect that the word I was given is poorly transcribed:  owehzhee.
Does anyone know anything about this?
Thanks,
Laura
