flawlessly (comparative more flawlessly, superlative most flawlessly)

1. In a flawless manner.
   • 2008, Christopher Goffard, Snitch Jacket, page 74:

     An all-round terrific lady: sweet, compassionate, busty, pert-nosed, prone to floods of sudden tears, a lover of mini-skirts and tall leather boots and snug sweaters, which you somehow wore with total innocence, a worrier, a sweet ruminator by windows. a girl possessed of incredibly long. elegant eyelashes. and of course more flawlessly managed hair than a salonful of average girls could ever grow.
