Line 8:
Anachronistic improbable hairstyle has to do with hairstyles that are very much [[Changed My Jumper|unlikely]], and yet [[Weirdness Censor|go unnoticed]], or would simply be difficult to maintain in the time period, for lack of necessary material. Basically, it makes you say "How is that even '''possible!?'''".
Maintenance-improbable hairstyle are hairstyles that are uncannily maintained while stranded on islands, planets, the past, spaceships... despite the lack of any hairstylist access. Like
May sometimes be because of the [[Rule of Sexy]], or because [[Magic Hair|the hair has actual magic properties]].

* 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.

Her hair style doesn't look like it would stand up to weeks of tromping through the wild west, and yet it does. When she has her hair down, it magically becomes several inches shorter. Finally, there's a scene where we actually see her doing her hair, something that should take a good day and a half, what with all of the glueing, hairspraying, clamping in place until it dries, and praying for the whole thing to stay up. Three hairclips, five seconds, and she's all finished, spikes included.
