Wings that sprout out of a person's head where her hair would usually be. In some cases the person has normal hair that she can transform into wings, while in other cases she will have [['''Hair Wings]]''' as a permanent anatomical feature. Often the wings look rather hair-like, especially the parts close to the scalp. Almost [[Always Female]], because [[Long Hair Is Feminine]].
 
Sometimes overlaps with both [[Power Gives You Wings]] and [[Power Makes Your Hair Grow]].
 
Compare [[Ear Wings]], [[Helicopter Hair]], [[MercurysMercury's Wings]], and [[Hat of Flight]].

* The Siren summon from [[Final Fantasy VIII (Video Game)|Final Fantasy VIII]] has huge, golden wings... sitting on top of her head. Even her eyebrows appear to be feathers, though it all does sort of blend in with actual hair (which is the exact same color as the feathers)
* The Celestials in [[Okami (Video Game)Ōkami|Okami]] have hair wings (or stiff, winglike hair) which enable them to fly. Waka the prophet has winglike extensions on his [[Nice Hat]] which have the same visual effect.
