The phrase "soft rope of her hair tossed from side to side" contains an implied metaphor. An implied metaphor suggests a comparison without explicitly stating it with "like" or "as" (which would be a simile). In this case, the girl's hair is being compared to a soft rope without directly saying "like" or "as."
