* ''Manga/DungeonMeshi'': The magic system of the universe requires well-maintained hair in order to work with magic: in fact, letting one's hair go without being washed for a sufficient period of time [[AntiMagic actually grants resistance to magic! Even useful enchantments]]...

* Lion from ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' has a mane leads anyone who goes into it into a pocket dimension.
** [[spoiler: After Lars dies and gets revived via Steven's healing tears his hair now possesses the ability for anyone to go to a pocket dimension, the same one Lion's mane goes into, which gives Steven and anyone else he's with the ability to travel between Earth and space within seconds.]]

* Subverted in ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}''. It appears that the title character is using her hair to make giant fists, giant feet, and giant ''dragons'', but reading Antonio Redgrave's notes reveals that witches need a medium in order to summon these things. In theory they could use anything, but hair is the most readily available. It's not that the hair is magic, more like magic things are happening to the hair.

* In ''Webcomic/Witchy'', a person's magic is determined by the length of their hair, and those with natural long hair and strong magic are recruited as soldiers. If their hair is ''too'' long, though, they are "a danger to the kingdom", and they are killed; but cutting your hair is considered an offence to the spirits [[MortonsFork and is punishable by death.]] Good luck!

* In the ''Manga/LuckyStar'' fanfic [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8895129/1/Starbound Starbound]], anyone's hair who is appointed by a Magé Stone becomes this, rising up to wrap around said stone and [[BeehiveHairdo mount itself atop her head]] in order to allow it to interact with her brain and give her a sixth sense and psychokinetic powers.

* ''WesternAnimation/LadyLovelyLocks'': Her hair is so magical the BigBad keeps plotting to get it. There's a reason the Brazilian title translates as "Princess of Magical Hairs".

* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' has this. [[http://egscomics.com/?date=2009-11-19 "So wait, officially, does hair spontaneously change color?"]] It's a possible side effect of magical burnout.

* Literature/{{The Bibl|e}}ical Samson was granted supernatural strength by God in order to combat his enemies and perform heroic feats, with includes: wrestling and killing a lion with bare hands, slaying an entire Philistine army with only a [[BadWithTheBone jawbone of a donkey]], etc. There was a catch though: he couldn't drink any kind of alcohol and he couldn't shave his hair - if would do that, he would lose his super strength. Unfortunately, he told this to his lover Delilah, who then proceeds to cut his hair and sells him to the Philistines soldiers, who stab out his eyes with their swords. After being blinded, Samson is brought to Gaza, imprisoned, and put to work grinding grain. Later, the Philistines leaders and common people gather in the temple of their god Dagon, for having delivered Samson into their hands. They summon Samson in order to ridicule him, but once inside the temple, Samson asks a guard one question: can he lean on the central pillars? Soon enough the gathered Philistines realized something - hair is known for [[OhCrap growing]] [[TakingYouWithMe back]]...

* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' has this. [[http://egscomics.com/?date=2009-11-19 "So wait, officially, does hair spontaneously change color?"]] It's a side effect of other magic, though.

* [[Expy Fillia]] from ''VideoGame/Skullgirls'' has hair with powers nearly identical to Millia's. It is implanted with a parasite that gives her the power to control her hair's length and shape. Unlike Millia, however, Fillia's parasite has a face, a voice, a personality, and an appetite.

* From ''Manga/InuYasha'', there was Yura of the Hair, who collected the stuff and then used it as RazorFloss.

* In ''Franchise/HarryPotter'', demiguises are ape-like magical creatures able to turn invisible; their long, silky hair can be woven into an invisibility cloak.
