Line 37:
* ''[[Clash of the Titans]]'' (2010): Perseus manages to maintain a ''buzzcut'' while travelling the world for months on end.
* In [[The Eighties]] version of ''[[Clash of the Titans]]'', Harry Hamlin in the original 80s film sported a dreadful 80s mullet uncharacteristic for Ancient Greece.
* Jocelyn from ''[[A
* Elizabeth Curtis from the Deborah Kerr adaptation of ''[[King Solomons Mines (Literature)|King Solomons Mines]]'' gets sick of her waist length hair in the humid African jungle and hacks a slice out of it. When it cuts to the next scene she has cut it short into a perfectly styled short do. That style might have been fashionable in the 1950s when the film came out but the film is set in the 1800s when women didn't have short hair. Test audiences actually laughed their heads off at the scenes when they first saw them that the producers nearly removed them. But they couldn't explain Elizabeth's change of hairstyle so they kept the improbable scenes in the film.
Line 61:
* ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'':
** 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 (Video Game)|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.]
Line 78:
* In ''[[Gundam Wing]]'', Trowa Barton's enormous bangs manage to defy gravity despite spacesuit helmets, combat conditions, and the occasional quadruple flip with a double twist.
** Gundam really loves this trope, giving utterly ridiculous 80s haircuts to just about everyone.
* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! (Franchise)|Yu-Gi-Oh]]'' series:
** ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh (Anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh]]'': Yugi. This also covers the Pharaoh, who had the same hairstyle when he was alive in ancient Egypt.
** ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh 5 Ds (Anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh 5 Ds]]'': Yusei, who, despite being a motorcyclist, never ''ever'' gets helmet hair. ''Especially'' once you realize he grew up with that hairstyle ''in the slums''.
Line 124:
** In a first season episode, Claire's hair is regrows completely intact, even in the same style, after being exposed to radiation that ''burnt off her flesh''. Yet between seasons 3 and 4, she cut it shorter.
* Averted in ''[[Carnivale]]'' in an episode where Libby's hair, curled in a style common to the time period in which she lives, falls flat and gets pretty messy after she spends some time stranded in the middle of a desert. Also, when Sophie leaves the carnival and becomes Justin's maid, her hair actually looks noticeably better groomed.
* ''[[
** The Centauri are an entire race with an Improbable Hairstyle. Their [[Rubber Forehead Aliens|primary difference]] from humans is that the males can style their hair into gigantic fans/crests up to a foot high.
** 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.
