Anime Hairstyle Lists?

[Fandal]

Is there a giant list of the unique anime hairstyles out there? For example, Kagami in Lucky Star has a variation of twin tails which is similar to Rin in FSN who has a different variation of it.

.....The list would be endless xD they just seem to be getting crazier

[RayRay]

There is really no list but visible similarities of hairstyles used to define similar characters. These are but a few...

1. Bob (usually blue or purple)-

2. Long, beautiful, shiny hair (usually belonging to robots or aliens)-

3. Spiky, tomboyish hair (pic below)
4. Huge ass bow (pic below)
5. Spiral, twisties (pic below)


6. Pale girl with long, black hair (emo/goth chicks)-

7. Perfect Buns with/without pigtails (usually on magic girls with pink or blonde hair)-

8. Long hair bound at the ends

9. Long braids-

wow, a list on hairstyle? That'd be cool! all the impossibly good looking hairstyle that no one in real life can really ever have.... like long hair fluttering like a curtain when there's not supposed to be wind in a room?

@OP, you should have done a general thread about anime hairstyles. Listing stuff is not the cup of tea of everyone, but I do like to talk about hair xD

You can at least categorize them like that:

1) Short hair

2) Long hair

About female characters, I prefer long hair and hairstyles related to it. It's prettier imo.

In Code Geass R2, I really liked Cornelia's hairstyle:

Excuse my ignorance on hairdo terminology but I find these types both long and short much like RayRay's and Narona's avatars very attractive

Click for an awesome vectored version!




But I like the plain, long and straight, front parted style too

I love chignons (second pic)

You see, what is great with long hair is that you can do lots of hairstyles with it

(eh, perhaps not huge, but rather bigger than would be usual IRL, at least...)

PONYTAIL FTW!

one word: Kyonko.

Check my sig.

Well, there is of course the multitude of hair styles worn by real women.

Basics like:

A bob.

A ponytail.

However there are a few that do show up in anime a lot and stand out:

Hime Cut is probably one you've seen a lot, particularly in older anime. Mio of K-On has this hair style.


Twin Tails / Pigtails are particularly common for young girls and Tsundere. As Konata points out to Kagami when discussing her hairstyle.

Princess Curls are becoming more common in anime. Suzy in Valkyrie Chronicles has this style.

I actually found an adequate list of hairstyles on Gaia of all places.

anime hairstyle list

They are categorized by hair color and in each section are links providing pictures of different characters hairstyles. It's quite an extensive list.

[RayRay]

Guess what I found! A list of Japanese hairstyles using creepy dolls! XD

.. Cool-Lovely.. like Cool-n-Spicy?

[Amray]

I very much doubt that there is a set list of names of all the different hairstyles used in anime and manga. Popular styles that are much used, such as "Twin-tails", would have names already for obvious reasons, although there are also just simple shoulder-length and spikey styles used too. Of course we also have more extroadinary styles too; for example Akira Kogami's "Twin-drills".

When I sketch girls I tend to draw their face and body first before I decide on what hairstyle would suit them best. Or I will make a new and unique style that I have not seen before, and one that most probably does not exist at all. That is a very fun way of completeing a character sketch: making a unique hair style for them. Deciding and drawing the hair on a character sketch is the most fun thing to do, I personally think.

Observation: There really aren't that many different guy hairstyles are there?

[lolitaninja]

What about Temari's hair? C'mon, four pigtails?! How much more unique can you get than that?

Me loves long, shiny hair, and huge bows as well. Some of my favorite hair is long shiny, and apparently very healthy.

One of my favorite pictures of all time (the hair sold me on it):
