[up] This one doesn't really show personality either. The Charlies Angels pic kinda did.

That's weird, sort of feels like I said that.

Heh.

I guess the The Witches Of Eastwick image is actually pretty good. I just don't have a problem with the current one. I wouldn't be mad if that one got swapped in, though.

The Witches Of Eastwick one is probably the best suggestion, and I won't complain if it gets swapped in, but I don't really think it's a huge improvement.

A picture from a work? That's easy. but I have to ask, what does it add that the current picture does not? The current example is correct and easily to understand. We need proof that it's misleading people to what the trope is about, otherwise simply not liking it is not sufficient. Yes, we are a wiki about fiction, but we are not above pointing out when there is Truth in Television. Not being from a work is not valid.

  1. "We need proof that it's misleading people..." Absolutely not.
  2. "...simply not liking it is not sufficient." Yes it is. Of course it is. I think a movie frame (or etc.) looks better than a shampoo ad, and am guessing others do too.

@Cider: Those are requirements for pulling an image without replacement. The criteria for replacing one image with another is simply "is it better than the previous image?", and given that they both illustrate the trope equally well it comes down to personal preference in this case.

Crowner?

I vote for "Change to Witches of Eastwick", if only because the ladies in the current image look seductive, while the ladies in the Witches of Eastwick one look... normal.

[up] I'm not sure how that makes any difference.

The trope is kind of about personalities, something that shows that would be way better.

No, it's not. First line of the page:

The hair equivalent to vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. The trope is strictly for visual appeal; they are not personality types.

There's nothing wrong with the current image. It portrays the trope just fine, I don't see any reason to swap it.

The witches are good, but not better than the current one.

I vote to keep the current one.

Why do most brunettes in this thread have black hair?

[up][up][up] And there's also some examples from the trope that adds character's that has black hair with blue highlights.

Though back on topic, I have no problem with the current picture or the Witches of Eastwick. But I did find this in Google search.

We don't need an Image Dicussion for the current image. It's real life and it looks cool.

It's an odd trope since it's about a variety of hair colors and not personalities, but a shampoo add that shows off the hair probably is best.
