24-->-- '''Mina''', ''WebVideo/SailorMoonAbridged''

26The Hot Wind (also known as the Mystic Hot Girl Wind or the Wind of Sexy) is generated by the first appearance of a particularly attractive (usually female) character. When she walks in, a [[DramaticWind mysterious breeze]] tousles her hair and clothing in the most fetching way possible. Usually, this all happens in SlowMotion.

28Frequently appears in conjunction with {{Gaussian Girl}}s.

30A SubTrope of DramaticWind. Compare the MarilynManeuver.

32Not to be confused with [[HeatWave actual hot winds like Foehn or Santa Ana winds]], or any reputed physiological or psychological effects surrounding the same.

40* [[Advertising/AirNewZealandSafetyVideos Air New Zealand's]] awesome/funny [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBlRbrB_Gnc safety video]] made to coincide with the ''Film/TheHobbit'' has a moment where a MrFanservice passenger does this with his long black Aragorn-like hair...until the elvish flight attendant takes the hair dryer off him.
41* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gPcVG-dx8Y This]] old Dairy Queen commercial which shows that drinking a Dairy Queen latte gives women an ImagineSpot of being held in BridalCarry by [[MrFanservice Fabio]]. The husband is not happy.
42-->'''Husband:''' There's a [[WalkingShirtlessScene half-naked man]] in the living room holding my wife ''and his hair's blowing in the wind!''
43-->'''Wife:''' Would you feel better [[ComicallyMissingThePoint if his hair wasn't blowing in the wind?]]
44-->'''Husband:''' A little...
45* Jane Krakowski, playing off her ''Series/ThirtyRock'' persona, has her hair tousled this way in a commercial for low-calorie orange juice. As the camera angle changes, we see she's making a friend hold a fan up to her.
46* An advertisement for an [=iPhone=] which included the ability to take SlowMotion selfies showed a close-up of a beautiful teenage girl with HotWind tousling her hair which becomes FanDisservice due to the FlappingCheeks. Cut to a RevealShot of her little brother blowing a hair dryer in her face while she's holding the phone for a selfie. She then gets him to back off a bit.

50* Spoofed in ''Manga/LoveLab'' where Maki tries to invoke this with fans. Riko tells her to cut it out.
51[[/folder]]
52
53[[folder:Arts]]
54* ''Art/TheBirthOfVenusBotticelli'': An OlderThanSteam example. Thanks to the minor wind deities Aura and Zephyr, Venus' hair is being gently tousled. Meanwhile, Venus is standing naked in a sexy ContrappostoPose.
55* ''Art/TheFallenAngel'' by Creator/AlexandreCabanel: The wind blowing the newly-fallen Lucifer's hair is mostly there for {{dramatic|Wind}}} effect. However, Lucifer is portrayed as a very attractive young man, therefore the breeze has a secondary purpose -- to make him look more appealing and sexier.
56[[/folder]]
57
58[[folder:Film -- Animation]]
59* Astrid in ''WesternAnimation/{{How to Train Your Dragon|2010}}''. {{Justified|Trope}} because she was walking out of a conflagration at the time... which makes it a ''[[{{Pun}} literal]]'' HotWind.
60* In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', when Mei is reminding her friends why they are fans of 4*Town there is a shot of the BoyBand members on a mountain top with wind blowing through their hair.
61[[/folder]]
62
63[[folder: Film -- Live-Action]]
64* ''Film/{{Hausu}}'': Ryouko, Gorgeous's beautiful new stepmom, is always surrounded by a slight breeze that tosses her many diaphanous scarves around. It's unclear why, although it seems to highlight her beauty.
65* Spoofed in ''[[Film/AttackOfTheKillerTomatoes Killer Tomatoes Strike Back!]]'' As TheHero falls in love with the sexy scientist, she suddenly appears from his point-of-view in [[GaussianGirl soft focus]], [[TheGlassesGottaGo removing her glasses]] and tousling her hair in a wind that gets stronger and stronger until he's shouting his LoveConfession as they both get blown across the room while catching a face-full of newspapers, leaves and other rubbish. Annoyed, she puts her glasses back on and the wind suddenly stops, causing the hero to fall to the ground from the lamppost he was desperately holding on to.
66-->'''Dr Johnson:''' What was it you were [[InterruptedDeclarationOfLove trying to say?]]
67-->'''Detective Boyle:''' [[CannotSpitItOut Err... you might want to close that window.]] It's a little drafty.
68* ''Film/QueenOfOuterSpace''. TheCasanova of the crew is introduced smooching a gorgeous blonde. As his rocketship launches into space, the audience is gifted with a scene of the blast tousling her hair and clothing.
69* Played with in ''Film/{{Twilight}}'' - when Edward first sees Bella, she gets this treatment, because she's standing in front of a fan. Edward gives a freaked-out reaction to her. It seems like he's reacting to her appearance, but we later find out it's because the fan was blowing her ''smell'' towards him - to him, a vampire, she smells more delicious than anyone he's ever met.
70%% * ''Film/WaynesWorld'': Most shots of Garth's crush feature this.
71[[/folder]]
72
73[[folder:Literature]]
74* In ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'', three Raith sisters get this in ''Literature/TurnCoat''. Justified, as they show up by ''jumping out of a helicopter that's level with the trees''. Lampshaded by Harry, who said that if there were any justice in the world, he would get to watch them walk in slow motion.
75[[/folder]]

78[[folder: Live Action TV ]]
79* ''Series/ThirtyRock'': Liz Lemon sets up an industrial fan to create this effect for her when ex-boyfriend Floyd returns to New York needing a place to stay. Accompanied by full make up and ridiculously tight red dress, to create a much 'hotter' Lemon (who cannot [[FashionHurts breathe normally]]).
80%%* ''Series/BostonLegal''
81* ''Series/{{The Boys|2019}}''. Queen Maeve puts a unique spin on this trope when it happens while she's being [[PedestrianCrushesCar hit by a multi-ton armored car]]. As the engine block disintegrates around her NighInvulnerable form, we get a SlowMotion HotWind shot as debris flies past her.
82* ''Series/{{Buffy|the Vampire Slayer}}'':
83** Lampshaded when Buffy says to Dracula: "You think you can just waft in with your music-video wind?"
84** Spoofed in the ImagineSpot in "Storyteller". Andrew is filming Buffy and WaxingLyrical.
85--->'''Andrew:''' (V.O.): You've already met Buffy. ''(Buffy [[SlowMotion gracefully pours]] herself a bowl of cereal, and [[HairFlip shakes her hair sexily]] in the breeze that comes from nowhere, and [[AsideGlance looks directly into the camera]])'' She's beautiful, with a lion's heart and ''(Buffy winks)'' the face of an angel. She's never afraid 'cause she knows her side will always win.
86* This happens when Xander [[LoveAtFirstSight sees Emma for the first time]] in the pilot of ''Series/{{Bunkd}}''.
87-->'''Lou:''' ([[RecordScratch record scratch]]) [[LampshadeHanging Where did that wind come from?]]
88* ''Series/{{Chuck}}'' did this with the Buy More entrances of Sarah, Carina, Anna, and Hannah, lampshaded it by giving that same dramatic breeze to Morgan, and finally had the entire Nerd Herd receive the HotWind treatment courtesy of Morgan holding up a fan.
89* ''Series/TheGoesWrongShow'': In ''Summer Once Again'', Sandra's character Margaret gets this when she's introduced, using an on-stage effect. On the first run-through, it goes as you'd expect, aside from Sandra not quite getting the wind machine out of the wide shot on time; on the second, she gets the machine caught in her wig; and on [[RuleOfThree the third]], she switches to a desk fan and ends up sending her wig onto the nearby stove, where it catches on fire.
90* ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'' has this when [=McLarens=] hires a female bartender. Apparently being female and behind a bar not only makes you gorgeous, but also makes your hair blow in the wind.
91* ''Series/JandaKembang'':
92** In Salmah's introduction, wind out of nowhere blows her hair, establishing that Malik is attracted to her.
93** Salmah's hair is blown by the wind, indoor, when Malik sees her visiting his shop in episode 5. It's probably the only clue about the incoming DaydreamSurprise.
94** When Wulan's cousin Slamet meets Seli, Seli's hair is suddenly blown and the scene goes slow-mo to indicate Slamet's attraction.
95* ''Series/MimpiMetropolitan'':
96** In Melani's first appearance (and Bambang's LoveAtFirstSight moment), wind suddenly blows through her hair while she walks in slow-motion.
97** Played with when Bambang first meets Mami Bibir. The scene becomes slow-motion and the wind suddenly blows her hair, but [[SubvertedTrope it doesn't make her any more attractive]] (not helped by Mami Bibir making funny face with her lips at the same time).
98** In episode 27, when Alan first sees [[SheCleansUpNicely Pipin with her hair down]], Pipin greets Alan (and the camera) in slow-motion while some wind blows through her hair.
99* In ''Series/NedsDeclassifiedSchoolSurvivalGuide'', Ned is convinced in one episode that his true love will be highlighted by a glowing light and this trope.
100* ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'': It actually happens nearly every time an attractive female is introduced. Eventually lampshaded in the eighth season when JD narrates how he likes to describe attractive women walking in slow motion with wind blowing through their hair whenever he meets them.
101** Also lampshaded in season 4 with Molly's introduction. She comments that the hospital is really windy and the camera reveals that the janitor was using a fan to dry up urine.
102* ''Series/TheSuiteLifeOnDeck'': Zack finds a girl who doesn't fall for his charms, and as his feelings for her grow, when he looks at her, he sees her with the wind blowing through her hair.

105%% [[folder:Video Games]]
106%% * Yukiko Amagi's portrait uses it in ''VideoGame/Persona4Arena''. And the story mode describes it in detail when she summons her alter ego.
107%% * Happens to Sky in ''VideoGame/{{Shantae}}''.
108%% [[/folder]]
109
110[[folder:Web Video]]
111* ''WebVideo/{{Dad}}'': Parodied in "Diane"; during Dad's ImagineSpot, there's a moment where Diane's hair is blowing back...while a large fan is held up in front of her face, obscuring her until the fan is put down and the wind stops.
112[[/folder]]
113
114[[folder:Western Animation]]
115* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'':
116** Aang's [[LoveAtFirstSight first glimpse of Katara]] is marked by a mysterious breeze fluttering through her hair loops.
117** When Zuko takes off his shirt in "[[BeachEpisode The Beach]]", a dramatic/hot wind blows his hair as birds fly by, to the delight of a group of female onlookers.
118* Invoked in ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'' when Filbert turns on a fan for Rocko's "windswept look" in photos. He even throws in a MarilynManeuver.
