For [[Evil Minions]] and foot soldiers one of the few perks they enjoy is complete freedom to go overboard with their beards: long braids, intricate patterns, pencil thin flame designs and more are common. The punk/grunge/barbarian image their intricate styles boast is an excellent cue that they'll soon be wishing they'd spent less time grooming and more practicing to dodge an [[Offhand Backhand]].
 
Slicked-back hair seems to be a common feature of a number of [[The Bully|school bullies]].
 
Whether a woman's hairstyle is good or evil depends on when the show was filmed. The good hairstyle of 2009 -- long, sexy, but not too smooth -- would have been seen only on a [[Complete Monster]] (like Cruella Deville) fifty years earlier. In contrast, the bad hairstyle of 2009 -- big, teased, with floofy bangs -- was the good hairstyle of 1985. The implication is that heroines are slaves of fashion while villains are dowdy and out of date.

* ''[[Monk]]'''s Captain Stottlemeyer sports this distinctive mustache.
* Lampshaded on ''[[That '70s Show]]'' when Kelso joins the police academy and grows a mustache purely because of his new career choice.
* In keeping with some of the more "mildly trustworthy" points on the scale illustrated, Ray Carling from ''[[Life On Mars]]'' and ''[[Ashes to Ashes]]'' has a droopy moustache which could either be full or the "RS Jake" horseshoe, and he is often rather more on the [[Cowboy Cop]] end of things for Sam Tyler or Alex Drake's comfort.

* Yuri in the video game ''[[Command and& Conquer]]: Red Alert 2'' can almost be mistaken for Lenin. That is, if you ignore the tattoo and the psychic amplifier bolted to his head.
** And then we have ''[[Red Alert]] 3'', which has [[Tim Curry]].

* There is, in fact, one of ''[[The Simpsons]]'' Halloween specials wherein Snake, the notorious white trash criminal, gives his hair to be donated after he has been executed. It is given to Homer, and the [[Evil Hand|Evil Hair (theatre)]] makes him kill Apu, Moe, threaten Bart, and otherwise epitomize Bad.
* [[Beavis and Butthead|Beavis]] has one.
* Billy's father Harold in ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy]]'' has a pompadour that actually houses his brain.
