Um... yeah.

Gain the power of Flight... through your hair! No doubt Everything's Better with Spinning.

See Heli Critter for animal examples. See also Hair Wings for less spinning, more flapping variation.

Mercury's Wings is a sister trope. Compare Hat of Flight and Prehensile Hair.

Examples of Helicopter Hair include:

Anime & Manga

• In the Hentai manga Petit Roid 3, Kirara is a Robot Girl with Prehensile Hair that she can put to many uses, including creating a pair of rotors to fly.

Films -- Animation

• Not quite hair, but close: in Hoodwinked, Japeth the Goat has a pair of detachable horns that spin and allow him to fly.

Films -- Live-Action

• Spy Kids: Gertie Giggles' pigtails can spin in circles, giving her this ability.

Video Games

• Donkey Kong Country & Donkey Kong 64: Dixie and Tiny Kong can both glide and slow their descent with their ponytails.
• Rayman: One of the title hero's trademark abilities is to spin his hair like helicopter blades, giving him limited gliding ability (and in some games, genuine flight).

Webcomics

• Slyphorama has this in the Katri Kopter ^{[dead link]} strip. With a Beyblade rip cord, no less!

Western Animation

• Ed, Edd n Eddy: Ed manages to make Eddy's hair spin fast enough for him to fly when they try to catch a balloon. He does this by pulling Eddy's wallet chain like the starter cord of a lawnmower. Which leads to a hilarious reaction from Edd.

Edd: (with a look of disbelief on his face) Remind me to ask you how you did that, Ed.

• The Fairly OddParents: As the result of a wish gone wrong, Timmy ended up with a hair tornado.
• Ellie in the Nicktoons' Zevo-3.
