13	Hair color is an easy visual shorthand for getting information about a character to the audience. Most often, hair color will tell you something about the character's personality, but sometimes, its meaning is something else: this character has an {{Elemental Power\|s}} and the [[ColorCodedElements hair color to match the element]]. Quite often, their personality will also be tied to their element and thus their hair color.
14
15	* '''[[PlayingWithFire Fire]]''' -- usually [[FireIsRed red]] [[FieryRedhead hair]], although sometimes it will be more orange. Sometimes taken to the [[FlamingHair logical extreme]]. Hair will often be short and spiky, but may occasionally be styled to resemble a flame.
16	* '''[[DishingOutDirt Earth]]''' -- [[YellowEarthGreenEarth brown or green hair]]. More rarely, orange or yellow. Usually short hair on males, females may have longer hair. Tends to be WildHair or dreadlocks.
17	* '''[[ShockAndAwe Lightning]]''' -- yellow or white. Hair will often be spiky, as though hit by an electric current.
18	* '''[[MakingASplash Water]]''' -- [[WaterIsBlue usually a bright blue]], especially if ice is also present as light blue. Hair is usually straight, mid length, and flowing, but it can also be wavy, like ocean waves.
19	** '''[[AnIcePerson Ice]]''' -- light blue or white, and similar in style to water, though probably less flowing.
20	* '''[[BlowYouAway Air]]''' -- [[TechnicolorWind white, gray, light blue, lavender, or pastel colors]]. Often wavy or curly with lots of volume. It may defy gravity. Can be [[WindIsGreen green]] in some cases.
21	* '''[[LightEmUp Light/Holy]]''' -- white or yellow, or [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold outright gold]]. Tends towards MysticalWhiteHair when white. May overlap with GoldAndWhiteAreDivine.
22	* '''[[CastingAShadow Dark]]''' -- nearly always black, occasionally more purple.
23	* '''[[GreenThumb Nature/Wood/Plant]]''' -- green. Often messy, and decorated with leaves or [[FlowersOfNature flowers]]. Usually associated with PlantHair.
24	* '''[[HeartBeatDown Love]]''' -- [[RoseHairedSweetie pink]] or gold. Probably because the first is feminine, and the second is often considered [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold pure and innocent]]. Expect hair decorations. Rarely, if ever, found on a male character.

26	This is less common in Live-Action media than in animation, video games, comic books, or manga, for obvious reasons.

28	Sister trope to ElementalEyeColors. Related to ElementalHairComposition, ColorCodedElements, ColourCodedForYourConvenience, and AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance. Compare FlamingHair.

Miz Mishtal, who presides over water, has lavender hair. And while Afura Mann's a BrainyBrunette, her blue/sea green attire shows she controls wind.
48	* ''Manga/FairyTail'' has a few examples:
49	** Natsu, [[TheHero the main hero]] [[PlayingWithFire who uses Fire Dragon Slayer magic]], zigzags it a bit: his hair is a shade of red in the manga, [[AdaptationDyeJob but pink in the anime.]] Nonetheless, it's still spiky to the sides resembling flames.
50	** Juvia Lockser, who [[MakingASplash uses Water Magic]], has long, wavy blue hair that curled up on the ends. She cuts it short for a time, but later grows it back and keeps it flowing down.

57	** The Todorokis. Patriarch Enji has fire powers and has dark-ish, spiky red hair to go with them; his wife Rei has stark white hair to go with her ice Quirk.

190	* In the ''VideoGame/GianaSisters'' series, Giana is a pyrokinetic redhead (when powered-up).

Three of the five or so visible Jupiter adepts, which combine both ShockAndAwe and BlowYouAway, have the blonde or white hair associated with those motifs, but purple is more generally used as an indicator of Jupiter affinity. In addition, when Light Psynergy comes into existence at the end of Dark Dawn, it is shown to be strongly affiliated with gold.

Xemnas has gray hair to match his power of [[PowerOfTheVoid nothingness]], though considering who he was originally, the hair color may have a [[HadesShaded different cause]].
194	* Kula Diamond from ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'' normally has brown hair, but [[PowerDyesYourHair it turns light blue]] when she activates her [[AnIcePerson cyrokinetic powers]]. On top of this, a few of her attacks suggest that [[PrehensileHair her hair]] actually ''becomes'' ice, or at least takes on its properties.
195	* ''VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies'': The Three Mage Sisters all have hair that matches their powers. [[AnIcePerson Ice Mage]] Francisca has long blue hair, [[PlayingWithFire Fire Mage]] Flamberge has spiky red hair and [[ShockAndAwe Lightning Mage]] Zan Partizanne has yellow hair.

200	** Electric-type users Lt. Surge (''[[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Red and Blue]]''), Volkner (''[[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl Diamond and Pearl]]''), Wattson (''[[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Ruby and Sapphire]]''), Clemont (''[[VideoGame/PokemonXAndY X and Y]]''), and Sophocles (''[[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon Sun and Moon]]'') have spiky hair (for Wattson, what little hair he has), and the first two are blonde, alongside [[TheSmurfettePrinciple Elesa]] (''Black and White'').
201	** Water-type user Marlon (''[[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite2 Black and White 2]]'') has dark blue hair shaped like a fin.

For example, Alchemical Water has blue hair in curly drills, Alchemical Earth has straight brown, Alchemical Air blonde, and Alchemical Fire red.
