This Troper once went to bed without drying her short hair. The effects were intimidating.

This Troper gets this whenever he showers and goes to bed immediately afterward. No matter how much he combs the next morning, the hair sticks at odd angles.

This troper's hair seems to naturally point upwards after taking a shower. At full length, can go up about 4 inches while leaning only 60 degrees away from straight up. For the record, this troper is male.

After going for a month or so without a haircut, This Troper's hairstyle becomes what he likes to think of as a brunette version of Gintoki's. Also, this combined with This Troper's rather thick eyebrows makes this Troper think he would be a good Go Nagai character.

This troper has natural anime hair, sort of. Whenever he lets his hair grow long (which is often, as he likes his hair long), the right side grows out normally, but the left side curls upward (which is most unusual, as the rest of his hair is perfectly straight). It would probably go over his head if ever he let it keep growing.

This troper once woke up with double faux-hawks (think Wolverine-ish here) that looked incredibly BadAss. He has never been able to duplicate this.

This troper woke up one morning to find that her bangs were sticking up in such a way that they looked exactly like a symmetrical pair of insect antennae on the sides of her head. It was incredible.

So you turned into Larxene?

Yep. Sadly, it's never happened again since then.

Sometimes this troper's hair sticks up after a long day and he looks like Mazinger Z's Koji Kabuto. After washing and drying his hair, he often looks like L.

This troper's brother's hair was even longer than hers once (though that's mostly because this troper's hair has never reached past her shoulders since she was 15). If he didn't dry it after showering, he could pass as a dead ringer for Sora from Kingdom Hearts. It's a shame our parents finally decided to lop it off so now he's stuck looking like Leeron from Gurren Lagann but without the green hair and not quite as flamboyant.

After a few years of always sleeping on her left side, this troper's hair now naturally has a part on the right that no amount of hairspray or gel will ever push left, and her formerly straight bangs have grown so much they've turned into a bunch of curly spikes coming out of her left side. It's pretty long, too, so it overlaps with RapunzelHair.

@/{{Turtleducks}}'s gay friend at a youth workshop had hair that was the closest to a real-life anime character's that she'd seen outside of her local anime convention.

MutantRancor here. When my hair is long enough, I start to notice that it comes down to a series of points over my right eye, but sweeps off to the side over my left. I really don't know why. It seems to be exaggerated by my constant wearing of hats, otherwise it probably wouldn't be that noticeable.

After a chronic lack of haircut (on purpose), I now look like a rejected Final Fantasy character design until my morning shower, with my left eye completely covered and my right exposed. After my shower, I brush my hair so that it's out of my eyes, then put a hat on to keep it that way. It'll be long enough for a proper SlipknotPonytail before too much longer.

In the early stages of growing out her bangs, this troper found out, to her delight, that if she wore her headband for a while and then took it off, her bangs would pouf out a la Kaoru Kamiya. Sadly, they're now too long to do that any more and simply fall annoyingly into her face when released.

According to @/MalachiteDragon's father, his hair looks a helluva lot like Sho Fukamachi's from {{Guyver}} after it's completely dried out.

@/{{Takwin}} tends to wake up with hair sticking out at two oblique angles, achieving a pair of little AstroBoy 'horns.'

This Troper's hair used to resemble Nikaidou-sensei's. It would have been very possible to pull off a natural cosplay, if not for the fact that this troper happens to be, you know, a female high school student.

This Troper went to school with a girl whose hair was very voluminous and spiky. It's a running joke between my friend and I as to whether it's gotten any bigger day to day.

This troper's hair doesn't stick straight up, but right now the amount of hair he has is able to stick up at least an inch off his head. I then comb it flat, and within 45 minutes, it's frizzed out a bit again. This troper now calls it his signature hairstyle.

@/{{TaiCat}}'s hair is ALWAYS curly at the ends.Her friend tried to straighten it up.She failed.30 min after shower,it goes back to it's position.

Sup girlme.

When this troper's sister was in film school, the makeup artist on one of her classmates' films informed her, blushing appropriately, of the secret to getting one's hair to stay in improbable shapes. Why was he blushing? It's KY Jelly.

This troper saw a woman with this utterly crazy and seemingly-impossible hairstyle while walking out of the grocery store on day. Not only that, but she was wearing a lime green jacket, hot pink shirt, periwinkle blue skirt with yellow trim, and these ugly tights with varying shades of purple in numerous clashing patterns. I think she just stole the "World's Ugliest Tights" award from Angel.

This troper has long, insanely thick wavy hair that has repeatedly been compared to Nia's hair, except that it's brown instead of, well, blond and blue. Interestingly, this troper was still capable -- with only a little trouble, really -- of getting this hair underneath a short wig to cosplay as young Simon from the same series, and having the result look convincing enough for someone to ask whether it ''was'' a wig.

@/BladeTiger has accomplished the same exact feat with the same exact type of hair. Specifically, hiding long thick wavy brown hair under a short blue wig and someone asking if it was my real hair.

@/JET73L ties his hair back, but it almost always ends up with two antennae sticking out the front after a few minutes. When he had short hair, the front of it was left increasingly long towards the front from about 1/3 to 1/2 the back of his head, and spiked up and to the front like that.

When This Lurker wakes up, he ''always'' has either an IdiotHair or a HairAntennae, and usually his bangs form GoNagaiSideburns. He is nor an idiot nor hotblooded.

This troper recently went a Debate tournament where one of her opponents spiked his hair up to a nearly impossible and ridiculous looking degree. It was very messy and stuck straight up in places. Needless, to say, the judges didn't take him very seriously.

@/TheRenaissanceRaver's little brother has woken up with ''serious'' bedhead. There have been times that I look at him and wonder ''how the heck'' he managed to style his hair like Roxas in his sleep. This Troper has also been victim to waking up with a serious case of bed-head, looking in the mirror, and realizing that she has somehow turned into a blonde, female Marluxia. She was somewhat terrified for a few minutes before finally grabbing the brush and getting rid of it.

This troper's hair frequently does this after he dries it post-shower. It curls slightly at the ends, though, so it's not true anime hair. It lies flat normally.

This Troper has hair that sticks out exactly sideways about one in every three mornings. He'll occasionally leave it that way For The Lulz.

This Troper's hair, while always straight without effort, currently has a spike where her part is, that resembles Edward Elric's "antennae".

Holy CRAP, does @/{{Ryumaru}} have this, or at least something like it. I've made a point of my friends knowing that my hair is immune to hair gel. It also has a habit of swishing to the side in the back, making me look either really cool or really stupid.

This troper only does one thing with his hair: push it upwards when it gets in my eyes. Since it tends to stay up a while, I end up looking like a (brown-haired) Super Saiyan.

This troper's hair has slight tendencies in this direction; when it gets sufficiently damaged, the ends of my hair start clumping together and assuming shapes that would normally bend to gravity but don't. Although I wear it in a utilitarian ponytail, so it's less noticeable than it might otherwise be.

Whenever this troper goes to sleep with her hair wet, she wakes up with either Vegeta hair or hair resembling members of Visual Kei bands.

This troper had bright purple hair that was improbably fluffy whenever put into pigtails. Her pigtails are still improbably fluffy, but the purple really tipped it into anime hair territory.

This troper, on a whim, decided to try his hand at cosplaying Apollo Justice for a convention. I got the clothes and even made a bracelet out of PVC. Crude but effective. But the hair was ridiculous. It took me several tries and several hours, but I finally figured out a technique to make it work. But even after that, I had to get up 40 minutes early to put it up and make it right. It was a pain, but I did get alot of compliments about the hair. One girl even kept calling me "Polly." It was a fun weekend of dabbling in AnimeHair.

@/MrW has a formless mop of red hair that goes whatever which way it pleases.

This troper cut her previously uniform length hair so she had anime-style side bangs. She could even cause them to arch over her forehead if she wanted to.

My dad's hair sticks up instead of going down when it grows. He once tried to see how tall it could get. (We didn't measure before he cut it, sorry) I suggested that he let it become like Vegeta's hair, but sadly, that is impossible to do without the assistance of hair products.

A variation: This troper attempted Sora for {{Halloween}}. Let's just say it didn't work as planned.

This troper's hair, while never quite consistent, will at times bear a striking resemblance to that of Eiji Kikumaru from ThePrinceOfTennis

This troper's hair, when left alone, will curl like Selphie's. Not just at the sides, either, on her bangs, too, if they're long enough. It looks terrible. Thank God for straighteners!

When trying to go for Sherrif Buck hair, this troper somehow managed to give herself Phoenix Wright hair. She's never looked back.

This troper's brother gets odd looking bedhead. A few weeks ago, he came to breakfast with the back portion sticking out a good three inches from his scalp, a la Sasuke i greeted him with a "good morning duck-butt-san" To top it of, a few rears ago, the edges of his bangs used to be really long, making him look like a pre-timeskip Hinata Hyuga.

This troper's hair is ''soooo'' full of static. When it's straightened, she almost always has a long strand of IdiotHair sticking up. And when her hair gets wet, her hair pretty much gets its own gravitational force.

@/{{ICantThinkOfAWittyName}}'s has curly, frizzy hair and her bedhead likes anime styles. If she goes to bed with washed hair, wet or dry (it almost never dries in time) she wakes up looking like Bobobo-bo Bo-Bobo, except not blonde and not as perfect-ball-ish. On any another night, she will have one of the following hairstyles: a Super Saiyan, an electrocuted cat or dome-tastic. That is all.

On the best days my hair is something like Psy's hair on a little less crack. Yet I am ''white''.

My little sister is two, and has quite short hair, and sometimes it sticks up in funny ways. When i put her hair up, it usually curls upwards!

A member of a forum I am on has awesome hair, it sticks out and looks like hes been electrocuted, I have no idea how he does it.

Not really anime hair, but I (Deceiver) tend to look like the Heatmiser after a long day.

In my Chinese textbook, you can really tell that the book was written in China for a number of reasons, one of which is through a vaguely {{Animesque}} illustration of a random guy meant to represent someone "cool". He had crazy-looking multicolored Saiyan hair colored in red, white, and blue stripes. I'll have to post a picture sometime.

When my sister's hair was shorter, she would lay on the couch to the point where her hair would stick up in the back. I swear, she could have passed for Sasuke the way it was spiky in the back and in bangs in the front! Oddly enough, we had started watching Naruto around that time.

My approach to hairstyle consists of pushing it back and up, and that's it. In the morning, when said hair is still wet, it has been said to resemble Super Saiyan hair, if it weren't brown and normal sized. It sometimes also resembles a frozen explosion.

This troper woke up one morning with a double faux-hawk (one at each "corner" of my head). For 10 minutes, I looked like Wolverine!

This troper once woke up to see that she had sprouted a curly IdiotHair for 20 minutes.

this troper, apparently being a cute shotaro boy, and Asian, has had his hair cut and styled into anime hair for a laugh. It's either that, or long bishie hair.

This troper has perfect, "split to both sides" anime bangs the second she steps out of the shower. The perfection of said bangs is, at times, almost scary. She's tempted to leave them this way once in a while.

This troper sometimes gets an ahoge without even doing anything.

Due to putting off her hair appointments, this Troper has ended up with Ed Elric's braid, complete with an ahoge, but with longer bangs. She frequently criticizes the animation of Ed's hair in the opening of Brotherhood as a result. Braids do not flutter in the wind like that. They are held down by their own weight.

This same Troper has dispensed with the braid and gotten a short bob with long bangs. Predictably, the ahoge remained.

This troper is compared to Goku by complete strangers on a daily basis. Admittedly he put more time into his hair than most guys do, but people who are more anime-savvy compare me to different anime / game characters, he's been Sora, Suzaku and Tsuna. This troper's favourite comparison is when some random dude said, you look like a hentai character. I was honoured, perplexed and creeped out simultaneously.

This troper has fairly soft, curly hair cut about chin length. When I get out of the shower and let it air-dry (as opposed to immediately blow-drying and straightening it), it's possible to brush it backwards and get a HUGE afro that I can't even see out of.

This troper has been trying to learn to draw herself, in the event that I ever become a mangaka and need to do so. I started out drawing this little wavy things by my face (they were supposed to be loose strands of hair), but they were totally inaccurate. I then started drawing my hair like with bangs that are remniscent of Dr. Chiba's. The next time I got my hair straightened and put it in a ponytail, that's exactly what it looked like. And no matter what I did with my hair, I would get those weird anime bangs that seem to have a life of their own.

When I wake up in the mornings, my hair is either plastered to my skull or I looked like a black-haired Super Saiyan.
