There’s all kinds of hair in the movies… no hair, long hair, short hair, hair that takes a lot of effort, hair that takes no effort, creepy hair, frizzy hair, grey hair, Theres-Something-About-Mary hair, bad hair and great hair (if you’re Robert Downey Jr). Here’s a few examples of what can only be described as EPIC hair in the movies.
American Hustle (2013) – Irving Rosenfeld
I feel like Christian Bale’s hairpiece in this actually deserved an Oscar of it’s own, or some kind of recognition as a separate entity.
Lord of the Rings (2001) – Legolas
Long, flowing, golden locks flanking cute elvish ears. What’s not epic about that?
Dumb and Dumber (1994) – Lloyd Christmas
Similar to the bowl cuts my Grandma used to give us.
Liar Liar (1997) – Receptionist lady who I don’t know the name of
“Did you do something to your hair?” This was got to be Uzo Aruba’s inspiration for Crazy Eyes in OITNB.
Taxi Driver (1976) – Travis Bickle
One of the coolest do’s in cinema history, if you ask me.
What’s your favourite hairstyle in the movies?

Chris Tucker as Ruby Rhod in The Fifth Element has to be one the better wacky styles.
For hairstyles that I actually adore, I go with Louise Brooks’ bob (in any film) as number one, and Sean Young’s hairstyle in Blade Runner as runner up.
Best wishes, Pete.

Excellent choices, Pete. Audrey Hepburn had some pretty memorable styles too. And Carrie Fisher’s Princess Leia deserves an honorable mention. The list goes on!

Legolas wins! You should add Tauriel too though (:

Yep! They’re definitely unique. Star Wars as well (Princess Leia), she certainly has some originals! The double-bun style is one of the most well known movie hairstyles ever!

I remember being at school when LOTR was released and I specifically remember girls moaning that Legolas had “better hair” than they did! I think my favourite on your list has to be Lloyd Christmas……it has to be! All round great selection though 🙂
Who would my favourite hair ever belong to…it’s a great question! My five year old me wants to say Ariel from The Little Mermaid !!

Man, that woman has great hair. Your five year old has good style choices! They say sea salt is good for your hair.. but mine doesn’t look like Ariel’s when I’ve been swimming..

The first one that popped to mind is Javier Bardem in No Country For Old Men (2007). It still haunts me to this day! 😀
