Some of the Most Memorable Hairstyles in Movies
Look, there are tons of movies out there that feature dyed hair, or punk rock hair. Hell we’ve seen millions of movies that feature an afro or a mohawk. But do you really remember those specific characters? Not necessarily. I mean yeah, it’s pretty money that Bill Paxton had a whacked out ‘doo in The Terminator but it’s not like his hairstyle was talked about afterwards.
However, in some movies you definitely walk out of there thinking, “now that was a pretty memorable hairstyle.” So I tried to comb through history to find some of the most unforgettable hairstyles in movies.
Am I missing some? Of course. I’m sure I left out a ton so comment on and completely dog this article. And if you criticize this list one of two things will happen. One, your comment will get deleted or 2: You will get an invitation to write an article on this site in which case we will criticize the hell out of you for leaving something out.
Ricky Vaughn
Wild thing! No one can forget the back of his head in this flick. It’s awesome.
Simon Pheonix
When I first thought of this it seemed dumb. I mean it’s just blond hair right? Yeah but when you say the name Simon Phoenix, everyone knows it’s badass Wesley Snipes in Demolition Man.
Mugatu
You have a vision. Let me show you mine!
Summer of Sam – Richie
Brody was just a whacko character in this movie, sporting multiple haircuts.
Pippi Longstocking
She’s coming into your world.
Young Albert Einstein
And whenever some mentions that name, how do you not think of that hair?
Matrix Reloaded – Albino Dreadlock Twins
Cruella Deville – 101 Dalmations
You gotta love the skunk style.
Marge Simpson
Does anyone really have blue hair? Marge rules.
Best Mohawk of all time.
Johnny Suede
Lots of spray in there.
Princess Leia
Most well known future hairstyle ever.
Bride of Frankenstein
Honorable mention: Ruby Rhod in 5th Element, Mr. T in anything, Gary Oldman in Dracula, Kid and Play, Princess Leia
what about Matthew Lilard in SLC Punk? There is one scene where he’s got a GIANT blue mohawk …
The Kid & Play dude in the House Party movie.
Actually, Princess Leia’s ‘do is from the past (ca. a long time ago).
I was gonna say the same!
You are totally forgetting Jon Cryer in Hiding Out. When I was in the fourth grade, I would have killed either one or both of my parents for that haircut.
No Ruby Rhod from 5th Element?
Sorry, best mohawk of all time will always belong to the one and only – Mr. T.
Gary Oldman as Old Dracula in Bram Stokers Dracula
Gary Oldman as Zorg in 5th Element
Something about Mary?
