Line 21:
* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'': Setsuna's hair probably isn't outright impossible. However, she has bangs on only one side of her face, a weird spiky ponytail on one side while the other lets that hair just hang down naturally. And judging by her picture on the Negima character page, there appears to be another random hairband on the '[[Fashionable Asymmetry|normal]]' haircut side of her head.
* Hild, of ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]'' fame, is very guilty of this. Her hair manages to be extremely beautiful, yet there seems to be no way it could actually be done. Factor in that she has TONS of hair ornaments in there as well, all very strategically placed, and magic then seems the only way she's doing it.
* ''[[Gosick]]'' gives us Victorique's brother Grevil, who has a [http://imageshack.us/f/576/gosick22.png/ rather] [http://api.ning.com/files/nA4J1-vKDMITOcLWp5SuD1UXeTnDlqHifDuKf5*Vz*4Zdcc87iUgCZA3AKtSpjgaXnZZwbxPMJ0AVWnkZftMB3EC7v1Vdb6t/Gosick16736.png iconic]{{Dead link}} hairstyle, to put it mildly...
* ''[[Black Butler]]'': While mundane by Anime standards, most characters' haircuts would be ridiculous in Victorian England. Though Sebastian's [[Bishonen|Bishie]] bangs are [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in the manga, Undertaker's, Druitt's and Edgar Redmond's ''fabulous'' 'do's are [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight]]s.
Line 52:
** Link's first video game incarnation sported bangs that defied gravity, to the point that he appears to be wearing a baseball cap. [[All There in the Manual|You wouldn't be able to tell in-game, though]].
** Ganondorf, who never used to put much effort into his hair, sported some sort of elaborate cross between dreadlocks and [[Princess Curls]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' (as seen [http://images1.fanpop.com/images/image_uploads/Ganondorf-super-smash-bros-brawl-915765_400_315.jpg here]). When you're [[Tailor-Made Prison|trapped in the Twilight Realm for hundreds of years]], you have to find some way to pass the time...
* Agent J from ''[[Elite Beat Agents]]'', whose hair looks like some of it got caught in a candyfloss machine. [http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/0/3715/788744-fff_large.jpg See for yourself.]{{Dead link}}

Line 89:
* ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'': Legolas's miraculously tangle-free hair. Aragorn's, on the other hand, gets pretty grubby-looking.
* In ''[[Superman Returns]],'' Superman falls to earth like a meteor, charring his suit, and falling into a coma, but his forelock is still in a perfect curl throughout.
* ''[[Star Wars]]'' gives us Queen Amidala. During her first film appearance, every other scene, she's sporting a more improbable hairstyle than the last. Nobody seems to notice. Her daughter, Leia, is almost as bad. Those [[Odango Hair|hair buns]] she had in the first movie took two hours for a professional hairdresser to do. [https://web.archive.org/web/20110101233416/http://skepchick.org/blog/2010/07/mythbusting-princess-leias-hair/ This] is a list of her hair and its plausibility in real life.
* ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]'': Jack Sparrow's famous hair may be long and wild, but it's also very clean. On sailing ships, fresh water is too precious to wash with, and soap/shampoo don't work in salt water.
Line 99:
* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'': Buffy's {{spoiler|fresh-from-the-coffin hair in "Bargaining" is neatly combed and has only a few leaves in it after she ''clawed her way out of the grave''}}.
* ''[[Torchwood]]''
** Similarly, Martha Jones (who is black) during "Human Nature" and "The Family of Blood." Since they had been trapped in 1913 for several weeks or months at that time, a few people questioned how her hair was able to stay pin-straight in a time before most hair-care products.
* ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'':
Line 110:
** Delenn's hair is even stranger, as it seems to go ''straight through her skull''. [[Word of God|Word of JMS]] says that there is a gap between the back of her head and her skullbone, allowing hair to go through it.
* ''[[The Tribe]]'': The characters of have remarkably elaborate hairstyles for survivors of [[Depopulation Bomb|a world-emptying plague]]. There must have been a lot of hair products [[Scavenger World|waiting to be looted]].
* BBC's ''[[Robin Hood (TV series)|Robin Hood]]'' is a strong example. The characters are far too well-groomed and clean to be a bunch of outlaws living in the woods of medieval England. In Season Three, we got [http://www.robinhood2006.com/gallerys3/Series3/episode4/slides/RHS3E4356.html Braid-Face]{{Dead link}}.
* ''[[Kamen Rider OOO]]''.
** Ankh. He first sleeps in a park due to having no home, frequently rides a motorbike and jumps into rivers. His [http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/163925_175101055862904_175082962531380_354865_6766070_n.jpg flamboyant hairdo]{{Dead link}} remains pretty indestructible.
** Also, Philip from the previous series, ''[[Kamen Rider Double]]'', whose hair, although different from Ankh's, sports similarly flippy bangs (on the opposite side). During his [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment in episode 16, when he removes his motorcycle helmet his hair appears messy, but in the next shot it's as perfect as always, as if he didn't have the helmet on to begin with.
* ''[[Falling Skies]]'' features the survival of humans [[After the End]]. Despite the lack of running water and electricity the women, teenagers, and children maintain perfectly-styled hair even months after the invasion. The men, on the other hand, have greasy locks and rough beards.
Line 151:
=== Western Animation ===
* ''[[Jem]]''. Most of the main characters have hair larger than their own heads, with colorful shades.
* ''[[Jimmy Neutron]]'', who has hair shaped like soft serve. ''All the time.'' That and his enormous head are the only reasons he is as tall as the other characters his age. Cosmo from ''[[The Fairly
* ''[[Kim Possible]]'' has flippy waist-length hair completely resistant to swimming, scuba-diving, skydiving, being submerged in cookie dough, or the numerous helmets she's forced into by [[Executive Meddling]]. Shego's is the same though even longer, and even if either of them are drenched, buried or blown up, their hair springs back to shape in moments.
* ''[[Invader Zim]]'': Dib's little... pointy... thing. "Dib's Wonderful Life [[Doomy Dooms of Doom|of Doom]]" demonstrates that the older he gets, the bigger and more ridiculous the hairstyle gets.
