I think してて is していて, but I can't figure out what くるんて could mean.

What does くるんてしてて mean？
In informal Japanese, sometimes 'giongo' (onomatopoeic words) are changed to
give a slightly different effect. In your example, くるくる
([definition](https://kotobank.jp/word/%E3%81%8F%E3%82%8B%E3%81%8F%E3%82%8B-486440))
has become くるん and としていて has become てしてて. You see it in other giongo words
sometimes. For example, つるつる/つるん(と), ぷるぷる/ぷるん(と), etc. I think it is more
common with words that have the る sound. I'm sure others can provide more
examples.

answer
Removing the slang it's read as

> あ、えり足 は くるん と していて かわいい

えり足 means

> hairline at nape of neck; nape of neck​

くるん seems to be related to くるくる which means, among others

>   1. whirling; revolving; spinning; going round and roun
>   2. coiling around; winding around; rolling around​

くるん seems to mean that the hair is curled only once, instead of repeatedly.
