Pass the Gel, Please

Don't you just love how the character's hair will remain completely the same throughout the entire game?

Video game characters, especially if they're from Final Fantasy, usually have some pretty outrageous hairstyles that seem almost impossible to pull off in real life (unless you're a determined cosplayer). However, despite how ridiculous they look, we can appreciate their originality and creativity. Sometimes, we may even envy how they never get dandruff, bed head, or frizz.

These characters really stand out when it comes to style! Some look pretty normal while others are more... extravagant. 

Top 5 Best Hairstyles in Video Games

5. Sazh Katzroy

Final Fantasy XIII

Out of all the famous Final Fantasy hairstyles to date, I just could not turn this one down. One reason is because it's actually believable! There are no giant spikes that require thirty-nine bottles of hair gel to keep straight (ahem...Seymour)! Sazh's look is an all natural afro. Another reason is that there's a tiny baby chocobo living in that fro! How adorable is that? And a little gross, but still! That mane must be pretty comfy. Also, it's cool that this awesome style is genetic, seeing as how Sazh's son has the same exact hair as his dad, if not fluffier.

4. Phoenix Wright

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney 

Phoenix looks like he just went through a hurricane and came out with his suit completely in tact and his hair blown completely back. Yet how he still pulls off a serious, sophisticated, suave demeanor is a complete mystery. This hair only adds to his famous "Objection" pose because it looks like he can stand up to anything, no matter what it is, and prove it wrong, unlike in Apollo Justice, where you fight the great urge to laugh when you see Apollo do this.

3. Flemeth

Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II

When I say Flemeth, of course I mean her hairstyle from DAII. This style takes a great turn from her elderly, frail, grey-haired appearance in DAO to a more demonic, controlling, powerful, badass look. I mean, her hair looks like dragon horns! How awesome is that?!? The purplish-red dyed tips and her headdress only add to her commanding, manipulating style. Unlike in DAO, this look helps reinforce the fact that Flemeth isn't exactly human.

2. Kratos

God of War Series

Let me just clarify this for a second. Kratos isn't bald. He has a shaved head. Shaved--it's a hairdo. Case closed. Putting that aside, who can better pull off a shaved head than the god himself, Kratos? Just one look at that shiny dome and you know not to mess with this guy if you value your life. If this style does only one thing, it makes him look like a true BAMF. Imagine if Kratos was in a Final Fantasy game? The image of Kratos with a seventeen inch mohawk does not settle well in my head.

1. Bayonetta

 Bayonetta

Bayonetta is living proof that hair can be both fashionable and functional! Who else has hair that not only looks good, but can destroy enemies by turning into fists, transform into a dragon, and form a slick and stylish catsuit? That's right. Her outfit is made out of her hair! Now, let's shift our focus to her style of choice. If there's anyone out there that can make the beehive stylish other than Marge Simpson, it's Bayonetta. The red and silver ribbons that decorate her hair add a very stylish and personal touch to the look, standing out against her dark color. Bayonetta's hair is a glorious combination of stylish and deadly.

The time developers spend on a character's hair really is reflected in the finished model. Some hairstyles have inspired others around the world to try to copy these looks, and then ultimately fail in the end. Mostly because the world can hold only so much gel.
