History Main / MessyHair

* ''Webcomic/TheWinxClubPlaysDungeonsAndDragons'': Bloom is the only girl whose hair is not styled in any hairdo nor arranged neatly. This is a way to convey her canon personality being very much on the wild side and that she's the most casually dressed of the girls; she's after all wearing her pajamas. It makes sense, as Roxy coming later implies they are not in her house so that only leaves Bloom's place as the other girls are not native to Gardenia.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'': Flashbacks show that in her and Eda's youth, [[Characters/TheOwlHouseLilithClawthorne Lilith]] used to have red frizzy hair before she dyed and straightened it in the present. As of "[[Recap/TheOwlHouseS2E12ElsewhereAndElsewhen Elsewhere and Elsewhen]]", it's gotten curly at the bottom again.

* Aside from his beard, one of [[Music/JackStauber Jack Stauber's]] most distinguishing feature's is his unkempt blonde hair.

* Shota Aizawa in ''Franchise/MyHeroAcademia'' has long, rather unkempt looking black hair because he just doesn’t want to take time to style it. It actually is a bit of an impairment in a way because he wears it that way even though cutting it short would make it harder for opponents to tell when his Erasure ability activates. Shigaraki even points this out.

* Young Ellie at the beginning of ''WesternAnimation/{{Up}}'', to represent her adventuruous nature.

* The appropriately name Eddie Hairstyle in ''Film/TheKnowledge'', who has very messy hair, which he is seen brushing. Janet mutters that she wishes he would do something about his bloody hair.

* Shock-headed Peter from ''Literature/{{Struwelpeter}}'', who never once has combed his hair.

* ''Literature/JudyMoody'', Judy Moody is known for having messy hair with a curl on top.

* Buzz Osbourne of Music/{{Melvins}} is known for the huge pile of messy black (or later on, black and gray) hair on top of his head.

* Sousuke is noted regularly in ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'' to have rather disheveled, haphazardly-cut hair. The reason for this is simple. He's a ShellShockedVeteran who reacts very violently when someone brings a blade too close to his head, so he cuts it himself--with a combat knife.

* Creator/NeilGaiman has untidy dark hair, at least in his author photos. This is probably the [[AuthorAvatar inspiration]] for the looks of several characters he's written, including ComicBook/TheSandman, Richard Mayhew, and Tristran Thorn, not to mention the picture book ''Crazy Hair''. One of his "about the author" notes includes the sentence, "He thanks you for the offer of a comb, but doubts that it would do any good." [[http://twitpic.com/2whf8o Even after a haircut.]]
