You Gotta Have Blue Hair/Live-Action TV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


A list of live-action television shows with characters who have unusually colored hair.

  • Parodied in The Suite Life On Deck episode 'Starship Tipton', it itself being a parody of Star Trek. All of the background characters, except for London's great x12 grandson, have odd hairstyles and colors, including Zerg, Zack's identical descendant, who has blue hair in the style of a Roman helmet.
  • The live-action Sailor Moon television adaptation reserves the weird hair colors for the girls' heroic forms. One exception to this is Sailor Luna, whose hair is blue even when she is not transformed. Nobody seems to notice this. (Interestingly, many fans consider Luna's live-action human form to be a replacement for Chibi-Usa, so keeping her odd hair color may be intentional.)
  • The female astronauts in the series UFO always wear purple wigs. Also, skintight spacesuits.
  • LazyTown has pink-haired Stephanie, blue-haired Bessie, and, arguably, orange-haired Pixel. Pixel's hair might be Hair Color Dissonance for ordinary red hair, but given he's Black and too young to have dyed it, this trope seems the more likely one.
  • iCarly had Carly wearing blue streaks as part of a goth style outfit in an effort to get her grandfather let her stay with Spencer.
  • Glee: Tina has some awesome blue streaks in season two.
  • Warehouse 13's Claudia changes her streaks frequently; colors seen so far: blue, purple, green, white, magenta.
  • Power Rangers Time Force had Trip with his green hair (quite appropriate due to him being the Green Ranger); justified due to him being a Human Alien. On the other hand, his Mirai Sentai Timeranger counterpart Sion dyes his hair a lot and, on some occasions, had blue hair.
  • Both Rommie and Becka can alter their hair color on a whim, one being an android and the other having nanites in her hair. Rommie spends several episodes with pink hair. All they have to do is think of a color and shake their head.[context?]
  • When casting Victorious, they discovered the whole main cast had brown hair. So actress Ariana Grande was asked to dye her hair, to give some variety to the cast hair shades. This is why Cat has hair the color of a red velvet cake.
  • Imogen in Doctors changes her hair colour every couple of weeks, though it's always a neon hue.
  • Angel. Illyria, causing a drunken Wesley to call her a smurf.
  • The Delvians of Farscape, being humanoid blue plants, have blue hair. Those who aren't bald that is.
  • In the original Star Trek episode "The Gamesters of Triskelion", Shanah has light green hair to show she isn't human.
