Almost ''anything'' can become a [[Memetic Mutation|meme,]] whether it be an [[Memetic Outfit|outfit,]] a [[Memetic Badass|badass,]] or a [[Image Macro|picture]] [[LOLcats|of an animal doing something funny.]] Hairstyles are by no means immune to [[Memetic Mutation]]. Hair is a device creators often use to [[Show, Don't Tell|convey information]] about a character to the audience. For example, a girl with [[Girlish Pigtails|pigtails]] or a girl with a [[Delinquent Hair|Mohawk]] are likely to be very different. In non-visual mediums, largely due to [[The Law of Conservation of Detail]], it's seldom an arbitrary choice on the author's part to describe hair at all.
Line 7:
Sometimes somebody's hair is so stylish or unique that it becomes associated with that person or character. In fiction, weird hair can become so recognizable that to change it would be like losing part of his or her personality. In [[Real Life]], a celebrity's trademark hair could even become a trend, even if was around long before they made it popular.
 
See [[Hair Tropes]]. Note that [[Anime Hair]] is especially likely to be subjected to this. [[Einstein Hair]] is a subtrope.
