[[Captain Obvious|Most characters have hair]]. But some (usually of a supernatural ilk) have hair that is either composed of flames, or simply takes the form of a fire on the individual's head. Usually an indicator of [[Evil Is Burning Hot|villainy]]. This is a form of [[Elemental Hair]] for [[Playing Withwith Fire|characters]] who are literal [[Fiery Redhead|Fiery Redheads]].
 
See also [[Hot Wings]]. Often a part of [[Burning Withwith Anger]]. If extended to the entire body it becomes [[Wreathed in Flames]].

Line 14:
* In TTGL [[Spiritual Predecessor]] ''[[Diebuster]]'', physics-breaking Exotic Manuever normally manifests as bright blue light from the forehead, but when Lal'C gets really, teleport-a-gas-giant's-core-and-smash-it-into-your-face level serious it goes beyond that and her hair turns into a blue-white flames. Similar effect is constantly in effect for Buster Machine #7 in active form. Dix-Nieuf, after consuming the degeneration engine, manifests the flames through his cloak.
* In ''[[Shakugan no Shana]]'', Shana's hair, while normal in shape, is colored like a blazing flame with ember-like sparks flying off. It's even [[Meaningful Name|part of her title]]. The same applies to Mathilde Saint-Omer, the previous Flame-Haired Blazing-Eyed Hunter.

== Religion and Mythology ==
* [[Depending Onon the Artist|Some depictions]] of [[Norse Mythology|Loki]] show him with hair styled to resemble [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ring6.jpg this].
