History Main / QuirkyCurls

* Curly from ''ComicStrip/{{BC}}'' is a DeadpanSnarker.

* WesternAnimation/{{Moana}} is also another Franchise/DisneyPrincess example. She is a rather free-spirited character too.

* Amanda Peet's character from ''Film/TheWholeNineYards''. Talks about her assignment to kill Oz ''while he's in the room''.
* Mia from ''Film/ThePrincessDiaries'' has naturally curly hair and at the beginning of the film she is gawky, not very popular and very much quirky, as is her mother who has wavy hair and is an artist. When she finds out she is a princess, she has to have her hair straightened to look acceptable as a princess.
* In ''Film/LikeWaterForChocolate'' Gertrudis is the only one of the three sisters with curly hair. Her character-defining moment is when she runs into the desert and rides away on horseback with a Mexican revolutionary. A few years later, we find that she married the man and is now a general in the revolutionary army.
* In ''Film/TheUnbearableWeightOfMassiveTalent'', [[EccentricMillionaire Eccentric Billionaire]] Javi (played by Creator/PedroPascal) sports some stylishly wavy hair, though he has it straightened for special occasions.

* Maeby from ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment''.

* By extension ([[Creator/SentaMoses same actress]]), Phoebe in ''Series/BeakmansWorld''.

* ''Series/Numb3rs'': Charlie Eppes.

* ''Series/{{Felicity}}'': Pretty much the reason the show existed.

* ''Series/{{CSINY}}'': Stella Bonasera. Her mentor, Professor Papadakis, told her they were what drew his attention to call on her in class all the time.
* ''Series/SquidGame'' has 212\Mi-nyeo, whose hair is as wavy as her carefree, [[NoIndoorVoice loud]] and untrustworthy personality.
* [[Characters/MCULokiLaufeyson Loki]]'s hair is practically shellacked down in most of his film appearances, but in [[Series/Loki2021 his own series]], he [[ExpositoryHairstyleChange leaves it looser and only brushed back from his forehead]], which reveals its natural state to be a mass of slightly frizzy curls. It [[GoodHairEvilHair goes along with his becoming]] [[HeelFaceTurn a much kinder, nobler person]].

* The Harfoots in ''Series/TheLordOfTheRingsTheRingsOfPower'' all have curly [[MessyHair unkept hair]]. They are more rustic than their more sophisticated descendants, and their subplot is more comical.

* Takatsuki Yayoi from ''VideoGame/TheIdolmaster'', an energetic and hardworking CheerfulChild. Her hair is usually rendered as wavy rather than extremely curly in the game and anime adaptation due to the difficulty of properly animating curly hair, but in illustrations it's more clearly curly.
* The heroine in ''VideoGame/SwordOfMana''.

* Angelica, the ditzy Russian strange girl from ''Webcomic/BloodyUrban'', has very thick, curly, bright orange hair.
* Pato, the DeadpanSnarker from ''[[Webcomic/M9Girls M9 Girls!]]'', has very thick, brown curls.

* The titular Steven of ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' is a peppy FriendToAllLivingThings with a Jewfro.
* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'': [[TheLancer Mabel Pines]]' quirky curls are on the end of her hair, but doesn't change the fact that she is a combination of GenkiGirl and {{Cloudcuckoolander}}.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'': While their hair are kept in a pixie cut (Luz, although due to mishandling a sword she got from a convention, while trying to cut herself her hair) or straighten (Camila), it’s revealed that both of them have natural curly hair. When they both left them curly in Season 3, it symbolizes they are more accepting of their nerdy authentic self.

Compare NonconformistDyedHair, MessyHair and UnkemptBeauty. When a character only has one weird curl, it's probably an {{Ahoge}}. Contrast RegalRinglets and OjouRinglets. This hairstyle was one of the defining styles of [[TheSeventies the late 1970s]] [[EightiesHair until]] [[TheNineties the early 1990s]].

* Delirium from ''ComicBook/TheSandman'' is a {{Cloudcuckoolander}}, which makes her RealityWarper powers kind of... dangerous. It's implied she was once the personification of Delight.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' While their hair are kept in a pixie cut (Luz, although due to mishandling a sword she got from a convention, while trying to cut herself her hair) or straighten (Camila), it’s revealed that both of them have natural curly hair.

* Dorian for ''Manga/FromEroicaWithLove''. Energetic, loud, openly CampGay aristocrat and Super-thief who steals for the love of the hunt/art rather than monetary gain and likes tweaking the nose of a certain NATO agent who would happily strangle him given the chance. His quirks regularly get him into trouble, since he likes to try things just to see if they can be done (stealing the Pope, anyone?).

* ''Manga/MoriartyThePatriot'': Sherlock Holmes has long, wavy curls, which he throws back into an untamed ponytail. His personality is just as eccentric and rebellious as his hair.
