History Main / HairDecorations

* Miranda Sanchez from ''Series/LizzieMcguire'' is known for this. There's even a montage of her wearing various decs in one of the Zoog Disney FourthWallMailslot {{Ad Bumper}}s (said bumper is not on Website/YouTube as of this writing).

** And in the ''Girl's Side'' versions of said games you get brownie points with your date-guy if you wear his preferred type of (hair) accessory.

** Blake Belladonna wears a black bow at all times to hide her LittleBitBeastly cat ears and avoid prejudice because of said ears.

** Princess Ozma of [[Literature/LandOfOz Oz]] is usually depicted with two large poppy flowers in her hair thanks to the original John R Neil illustrations. She's also frequently depicted wearing an elaborate golden diadem marked "OZ" but that's a [[CoolCrown different trope]].

* In ''Series/MyPrincess'' the Korean live action drama, plucky heroine Lee Seoul always has an awesome hair clip, headband, or barrette.

* [[MonsterOfTheWeek Callie]], the [[UndeadChild ghost girl]] from the ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' episode "[[Recap/SupernaturalS03E05BedtimeStories Bedtime Stories]]" has a bright red headband in her hair, contrasting against her [[RavenHairIvorySkin Raven Hair and Ivory Skin]].
%% * Daphne in ''Series/StuckInTheMiddle'' has those.

*** Almost all the women in the army wear hair decs: Felicia and Flora (maid hairbands), Camilla (black tiara with small wings that look a bit like cat ears), Elise (black gemmed bows for her MegaTwintails), Sakura (white and red band with a chrysanthemum-shaped brooch), Azura (blue and gold headband with a white veil), Charlotte (big white bow), Selena (small black ribbons), Beruka (purple hairband), Hana (MartialArtsHeadband), Rinkah (gold and red sort-of ornament), Oboro (slim black hairband), Orochi (two gold hairpins and one golden comb), Scarlet (blue headband), Setsuna (lacy beige band), Kagero (single white paper ribbon), Mitama (''three'' white paper ribbons), Rhajat (handmade hairband with two round decs, apparently standard for Diviners), Sophie (black hairband), Midori (black tiny bows), Mozu (two beige roses), Soleil (white and gold headband [[spoiler: which may be the same one her grandmother Olivia used]]), Ophelia (slim golden forehead band), Nina (lacy headband), Caeldori (white headband with small wings, not unlike Cordelia's clips [[spoiler: since she is an {{expy}} of hers ''and'' can potentially be her granddaughter]]), Peri (gray and white headband with a big bow).
*** ''Fates'' is also the rare game where several ''[[RareMaleExample men]]'' wear hair ornaments: the Male Avatar (can optionally be given a slim forehead band), Xander (Roman Empire-like headband), Leo (black headband), Hayato (Diviner headband [[spoiler: not unlike his daughter Rhajat's]]), Azama (beige and black headband similar to those worn by ''yamabushi'' priests), Kaze (slim black forehead band), Odin (another forehead band, but red and with a white pearl), Takumi (two red bands keeping his RapunzelHair in check), Izana (small golden dec), Subaki (black and gold pin), Asugi and Shiro (black headbands), Hinata (red pin), etc.

* Several female characters in ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' wear hair decorations too. Erika has a red headband, Whitney has a yellow pin, Jasmine wears two orange orb hair ties, Roxanne has her pink bow, Candice has a blue clip and hair bands, and Skyla wears a blue flower shaped barrette.

* Persephone in ''Webcomic/DestroyerOfLight'' sometimes wears flowers in her hair. Her mother is a harvest goddess, so it pretty much comes with the job.

* ''Webcomic/HelloCthulhu'' certainly springs to mind.

* In ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'', resident WrenchWench and tech genius Kat starts to wear a pink floral headband after being MistakenForGay. It doesn't last long.
* ''WEbcomic/ButImACatPerson'': Miranda's ever-present beads, and Bianca's [[http://erinptah.com/catperson/chapter-two-page-17/ butterfly clip]].
* ''Webcomic/CrystalHeroes'': Marina wears not just one, but eight hair clips, and even wears [[https://www.crystalheroescomic.com/page-4/ different]] [[https://www.crystalheroescomic.com/page-75/ color]] hair clips in the same fashion to match her outfits.

* ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'' examples: Geomancer and Generator at [[SuperheroSchool Whateley Academy]]. They're both high school freshmen, although Generator looks like she's about eleven. Geomancer likes ribbons in her hair. Generator likes sparkly hairclips. But they've been ''weaponized''.

* This isn't uncommon to see in a lot of female characters circulating somewhere on the internet, examples include [[http://heist-hex.deviantart.com/art/Metamorphosis-Hair-62359065]] and [[http://hazelruko.deviantart.com/art/The-hair-got-mess-up-253897537 here]]
* As of summer 2013 it's become popular on Tumblr to photoshop flower crowns onto people of either gender that you're a fan of. Examples include: the casts of ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'', Franchise/StarTrek, Wendy Davis and the TX Democrats... To name a few.
* Early ''Franchise/{{Noob}}'' webseries episodes and comics show [[TomboyWithAGirlyStreak Catherine]], Golgotha's player, wearing hair decorations: a bow-shaped barette in Season 2 and a big hairbow in the fifth comic.

* Applies to the majority of cute female characters in ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers''. Even Gadget's goggles may count--[[GogglesDoNothing she certainly doesn't wear them for their practical utility]]. One of the main differences between her and [[EvilTwin Lahwhinie]] is that the latter is wearing a flower in her hair. On the other hand, Gadget is seen wearing the very same flower instead of her goggles in two other episodes.
* Molly from ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin''.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', baby Maggie wears a powder-blue bow. Lisa sometimes wears a red bow for formal occasions.

* Giggles and Petunia from ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends''.

* Jazz in ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' has a headband. Considering the trope itself describes it as girls wearing it to "look younger", it is an ironic choice that Jazz would wear one when she claims she's "an adult stuck in a teen's body". Learning to embrace her childhood while she still can IS part of her CharacterDevelopment.
* Starlee Hambrath, of ''[[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward]]'' wears a headband, which is itself decked out with two small disks attached at each side, making it look somewhat like a pair of goggles.
* Obligatory ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' example: Toph's headband. Also, to some extent, the clips that hold Katara's hair loopies together.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'':
** Korra's hair is rarely seen not in its usual encased tri-tail style.
** Asami always has half of her hair pinned back with a [usually] simple hair clip.
** Ikki has her little yellow [[BuffySpeak hair bun thingies]].
* Heloise on ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'' wears a band in her hair for a ponytail, turning her into an adorable [[EnfantTerrible little psychopath]].
* Daphne from ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' usually wears a headband. Velma has a hair accessory in ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated'' as a part of her [[ProgressivelyPrettier redesign]].
* Suzie (simple pink hairband), Mimi (pink hair ribbons) and Nancy (lilac baubles) in ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingChanAndTheChanClan''.
* Diana in ''WesternAnimation/MartinMystery''.

* Lil of ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' wears a pink bow in the only lock of hair she has. She occasionally trades it with her brother Phil to pretend to be him--they can still be distinguished from each other, if you look closely, but the only real distinction is that he wears shorts under his duckie smock and hers is a dress. Lil also has longer earlobes in most episodes, and she wears pink shoes in contrasts to Phil's blue pair.

* WesternAnimation/PepperAnn wears a blue scrunchie in her hair for her ponytail.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'': [[CuteBruiser Spinelli]] wears red bands (ribbons if the episode calls for it) in her hair for her pigtails, and [[{{Adorkable}} Gretchen]] wears pink hair bands in her hair for pigtails, and has worn a pink bow on one occasion.
* On ''WesternAnimation/{{Sixteen}}'', Caitlin always wears a pink butterfly hair clip. This may possibly be to show that she's supposed to be the biggest girly girl in the group.
* [[GenkiGirl Mabel Pines]] from WesternAnimation/GravityFalls is almost never seen without a colorful headband of some sort, though occasionally she'll wear a bow or a [[FlowerInHerHair flower]] instead.

* Both Rose (a headband) and Haley (bands in her GirlishPigtails) have hair decorations in season 1 of ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong''. With the huge art design revamp of season 2, they were removed.
* In ''WesternAnimation/JinxyJenkinsAndLuckyLou'', Lou wears a four-leaf clover in her hair, [[BornLucky appropriately enough]].
* On ''WesternAnimation/DanielTigersNeighborhood'', Miss Elaina wears a pink hair band and two pink scrunchies, while Chrissie wears a pink hairband with blue and yellow floral decorations and a second pink band to hold her ponytail. Margaret Tiger technically has fur all over her body, but she wears a yellow flower on top of her head by her left ear.
* True from ''WesternAnimation/TrueAndTheRainbowKingdom'' wears a headband with a red, blue, and yellow bow.

* On ''WesternAnimation/PeterRabbit'', Peter's little sister Cottontail wears a yellow bow on both of her ears.
* ''WesternAnimation/KipoAndTheAgeOfWonderbeasts'': Kipo, noticing how Wolf hair blocks her eyes when she does some of her more acrobatic moves, gives her a hair clip to keep it back.
[[/folder]]

* Mary Jane from ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes & Merrie Melodies'' comics wears a red or black bow.
* The Reboot version of ''ComicBook/{{Legion of Super-Heroes}}''' Shrinking Violet wore a headband with a violet in it. Kinetix wore one with a Legion logo.
* Dorothy Gale wears a large hair bow in Marvel's ''Oz'' graphic novels. Princess Ozma wears her usual flowers and diadem ensemble.

* ''FanFic/PrettyCurePerfumePreppy'':
** Chiara and her daisy hairclip.
** In some original sketches Chloe had a pink-red-ish butterfly hairpin.

* ''Fanfic/NobodyDies'': For the first fifteen chapters, Asuka's hair is down completely, due to her mother pulling her from the Evangelion Project. Instead, her older brother Uriel wears the hair clips, like Canon!Asuka. During a spa day with Mari in chapter 16, she gains a pair of non-functional hair clips as a finishing touch, mainly a gambit by Mari to get Shinji's attention. It worked. She kept these non-functional clips for off-duty times, even after becoming Unit-02's pilot.
* In ''Fanfic/NeonGenesisEvangelionGenocide'', Asuka's relationship to with her two iconic neural hair-clips is examined at several points. She ponders that they used to be a mark of pride, but after everything what she has gone through, she doesn't know if she should be sad or happy when she wears them. [[spoiler:Notably, she throws them in the trash when she is wracked with guilt after the incident with Unit-08, taking to temporarily use red rubber bands to set her hair instead.]]

* In ''WebAnimation/ASadnessRunsThroughHimCOMPLETESnowtuftWarriorsAUMap'', Snowtuft puts a new bird feather behind his ear everytime something monumental happens in his life.

* In the web-novel ''Literature/{{Domina}}'', Akane has a number of beads hanging from her ponytail. The significance of this has yet to be addressed.
* In ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix'', Dolores Umbridge is frequently described as wearing Alice bands and other hair ornaments not at all suited to a woman of her age. It's part of her sickly-sweet projection.

* In ''Literature/RachelGriffin'', Rachel wears a black and white polka-dot hairbow. At one point, while looking at another character's [[UnreliableNarrator memories]], can only recognize herself by seeing it.

* In the ''Literature/CharlieAndLola'' books and the associated television series, Lola wears blue butterfly decorations in her hair.
* The main protagonist of Creator/RobinJarvis' ''Literature/DeptfordMice'' trilogy, a mouse girl named Audrey, always wears a pink ribbon in her hair. She ties it in such a way that "the top of her head look[s] as if it [is] sprouting".

* Music/MelanieMartinez's character Cry Baby from the [[Music/CryBaby self-titled]] ConceptAlbum perpetually wears a giant bow on her head. It goes with the SubvertedInnocence of the album and the retro look of the characters.

* In ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', female goblins have a few hairstyles with skull decs in their hair. It's pretty damn cute.
* Most of the [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters very large cast]] of ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'', or at least the ones without {{nice hat}}s. Some of them go one better and wear ''both'' nice hats and hair decorations, like [[CuteWitch Marisa]] and [[GadgeteerGenius Nitori]]. For some examples:
** Nitori, Komachi, Kisume and Shinki use double-orb fasteners for their pigtails.
** Marisa, Sakuya, and Hong Meiling all have ribbons for their braids, as does Orin for her twin braided ponytails.
** Yukari's long, full-bodied hair is usually managed by tying the ends together with a set of ribbons.
** Reimu, Cirno and Utsuho have a single, large ribbon centered on the back of their heads.
** Youmu and PC-98 Alice have a smaller ribbon placed off-center of their head.
** Suika has a large ribbon ''and'' a cube ''chained'' to her hair.
** Mokou and Rumia have paper talismans ([[UsefulNotes/{{Onmyodo}} Ofuda]]) tied in their hair. Justified in Mokou's case because it seems these talismans stop her hair from burning because of her own [[PlayingWithFire fire spells]].
** Sanae has a Frog hairclip and a Snake decoration thing coiled around her hair. They represent the two goddesses she serves under (Suwako being the frog, and Kanako being the snake).
** Both Reimu and Sanae wear pairs of hair tubes. It seems to be a {{miko}} thing.
** Hatate has a pair of ribbons for her [[GirlishPigtails twin-tails]].
** Seiga's hairpin is notable in that it's actually a "Wall-Removing Chisel" that she can use to [[IntangibleMan pass through walls]].
** Kosuzu wears two bells in her hair for each of her pigtails, relating to how [[MeaningfulName her name means "little bell"]].

* The ''[[Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei Persona]]'' series seems to like this trope.
** The original ''VideoGame/{{Persona}}'' has Maki's red ribbon and Yuka's green scrunchies.
** In ''VideoGame/Persona3'' we have Aigis with her... headband/headphone thingy (though it's because she's a robot), Maiko's scrunchies, and Yuko's hairclips.
** The female main character in ''[[UpdatedReRelease Persona 3 Portable]]'' has her [=XXII=] hair clips, which are an alternate numbering of the Fool Arcana.
** In ''VideoGame/Persona4'' we have Nanako's ribbon hair ties, Yumi's single clip, Hanako's ribbon clips, and Margaret's and Yukiko's headbands.
** In ''VideoGame/Persona5'', there's Ann's single clip, Makoto's hairband (which looks like a ''braid''), Hifumi's red three-leaf clover rope knot, and [[spoiler:Lavenza's headband with butterfly and rose ornaments]]. There's also two rare adult examples with Chihaya's headband and Sae's hair clips.
* In ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'', most Pokémon can be pimped with ribbons, hats, and other head accessories to help tell them apart.
* Several of the Presents in the ''VideoGame/KatamariDamacy'' series act like these. Interestingly, there's no gender boundaries, so you can have the Prince or any of the male Cousins [[WholesomeCrossdresser running around in]] [[EverythingsBetterWithRainbows pretty rainbow ribbons]].
* Not only do girls in the ''VideoGame/LuminousArc'' series wear various kind of headgear and hair accessories, but you can also buy and equipt some of them with '''ribbons''' as armor.
* ''VideoGame/EternalSonata'': March and Salsa have their bunny ear decorations.
* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'':
** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'', several of the Kokiri girls have hair decorations.
** Zelda herself wears bows or feather-like hair decorations in some of the more cartoony games. In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' she has ribbons wound around her braids in an ornamental, possibly significant fashion.
** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'', Patricia, the walrus-like sand seal belonging to Riju, is made even more UglyCute thanks to the little bejeweled red bow in her Mohawk.
* ''VideoGame/MegaManClassic'': Roll has a simple green ribbon bow in her hair.
* Coco Bandicoot from the ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot'' series wears a ribbon or a flower in her hair depending on the game.
* [[DumbBlonde Tess]] from ''VideoGame/JakAndDaxter'' has a pink hairband.
* Several characters from the ''VideoGame/SoulSeries'' (mostly of the "cute girl" variety, such as Cassandra, Talim, Amy, Xianghua, Seung Mina and Tira) wear various hair decs. While not of the "cutie" sort, Taki and [[ActionMom Sophitia]] also wear them, though obviously not to the same effect. Setsuka's hair decorations are the most elaborate in the series, especially in ''SC III'', where her hair is piled up on top of her head in a geisha/oiran style, held in place with various ornamental clips and combs.

* ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsNEO'': Sharlie Lunoille uses hair decs.
* ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossing'':
** Blathers's little sister Celeste wears a big pink bow. (Though these would be ''feather'' decs instead of ''hair'' decs...)
** The protagonist can also wear hair decs starting with ''Wild World''.
* ''VideoGame/EarthBound'':
** Paula wears a large red ribbon in her hair. She can also equip a range of ribbon accessories.
** The Mr. Saturns wear ribbons as well, although it's impossible to tell which ones are female and which aren't.
* Lip from ''VideoGame/PanelDePon'' has a blue double-orb hairclip on her ponytail and a big pink bow on top of her head.
* ''VideoGame/EnslavedOdysseyToTheWest'' has [[TheChick Trip]] use a robotic dragonfly as a hair decoration. When resting, it stays perched tucked behind her ear, and its wings look like feathers.
* Several female characters in ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' wear hair decorations too. Erika has a red headband, Whitney has a yellow pin, Jasmine wears two orange orb hair ties, Roxanne has her pink bow, Candice has a blue clip and hair bands, and Skyla wears a blue flower shaped barrette.
* ''VideoGame/TalesSeries'':
** ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheWorld'': The three Kanonnos all have hairbands and season-appropriate attachments to complement their pink hair: a tulip (spring) for [[spoiler:Pasca]] Kanonno, a coconut tree (summer) for Kanonno Earhart, and a maple leaf (autumn) for Kanonno Grassvalley.
** ''VideoGame/TalesOfZestiria'' has all of the girls in the party wear some sort of hair decoration which include a flower, beads, a headband, and a ribbon.
** ''VideoGame/TalesOfXillia'' has Leia wearing a headband with flowers before switching to a NiceHat in ''VideoGame/TalesOfXillia2'' where Elize also gains a pair of ribbons for her pigtails. In both games Jude can get hair decorations as well from his school costume hairstyle that involves using hair clips on one side of his head.
* Tooty from ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie'' has her hair in pig-tails.

* Flora, ''VideoGame/ProfessorLayton'''s adopted daughter, is never seen without her hair tied back in a dark pink ribbon.
* Doctor Judith Mossman in VideoGame/HalfLife2 has a large, plain hair clip on the back of her head.

Yuri has a red band, Athena has a red hairbow with a golden star (and later switches to a white one), Mai wears a traditional pin [[ItWasAGift given to her by her late grandmother]], Momoko has a big fat pink bow, Xiangfei has baubles, Kasumi wears a red band with a small plate on the front, Chizuru has a white headband [[spoiler: and so does her sister Maki]], Rose either wars bows or a small crown. A RareMaleExample also occurs. [[DudeLooksLikeALady Ash Crimson]] and his black headband [[spoiler: which [[TragicKeepsake Elisabeth keeps]] when he's {{ret gone}}d.]]
* A few female characters in ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}''. Regular users of the trope are [[RobotGirl Alisa Bosconovitch]], who has a flower-like ornament ([[spoiler:which [[RebelLeader Lars]] keeps as a TragicKeepsake after her unwilling FaceHeelTurn]]), and both Julia and Michelle Chang, who wear headbands with feathers signaling their Native American heritage. [[AloofDarkHairedGirl Jun]] and [[BigGood Angel]] also have those (a white headband and a tiara respectively), which add a sophisticated effect.

* ''VideoGame/LoveNikkiDressUpQueen'':
** Nikki's sprite lack of any pins or ribbons, but the "Accesories" include '''many''' hats, hairclips, headbands, etc.
** Nikki's best friend Bobo offers a triple treat — she's got bows, flowers, ''and'' barrettes that all match her outfit. This offers a contrast with Nikki's other close friend Kimi, who wears a simple black bow on the back of her head.
** Queen Nanari has [[FlowerInHerHair lilies]] woven into her [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold blond hair]], complimenting the flowers that adorn her gown.
** Many of Nikki's female friendly rivals wear one or another kind of hair decs: Bai Jinjin has black barrettes with golden stars, Aron has purple minibands, Timi has a tiny cat-shaped pin, Toto changes hair decs every time she changes clothes, Annabel has hair bows, etc.
* ''VideoGame/EndRoll'': Gardenia lost one of her hair ornaments in Dozing Forest, so Russell spends his first day in the town searching for it with Tabasa.
* ''VideoGame/EnsembleStars'': Apart from individual cards, many of which feature unique hair decorations, some characters consistently wear hair decorations:
** Hinata and Yuuta can be partly identified by whether the hair clips they wear are pink or blue respectively, and very much fit the young GenkiBoy trope
** Souma uses a simple paper tie for his SamuraiPonytail
** Mao ties his fringe back with a clip which the characters acknowledge gives him the look of being unreliable (as male characters with hairstyles like this are typically the energetic idiot type) when he is actually TheReliableOne.
[[/folder]]

** Disney/SnowWhite wears blue and red headbands each with a bow on top.
** Disney/{{Cinderella}} has a white headband with a bow on it, a silver headband, and a white crown.
** [[Disney/SleepingBeauty Aurora]] has a black headband and tiara.
** [[Disney/TheLittleMermaid Ariel]] has a white pearl barrette, large blue bow tied into a ribbon, and tiara.

* Alice from ''Disney/AliceInWonderland'' is not a princess but wears the classic "Alice band' from the Tenniel illustrations.

* ''Disney/WreckItRalph'':
** Vanellope von Schweetz in ''Disney/WreckItRalph'' takes it UpToEleven; she seems to have stuck roughly 40 small pieces of candy, including a peppermint disk and a gummy bear, onto her own hair. (Though Ralph says she has "dirty hair"; maybe that's what dirty hair looks like in a world where everything, including the dirt, is made of candy.) Her ponytail is tied with a licorice stick.

* In her review of ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeastTheEnchantedChristmas'', WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick wore cute little bows along with her usual [[GirlishPigtails pigtails]]. The fact that the review was heavy on her own brand of Nerd-Rage is probably just a coincidence.

*** This seems to be a series tradition by now, with nearly any new magical girl possessing HairDecorations, a NiceHat, or both. Nagisa of ''[[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheMovieRebellion Rebellion]]'' wears hair bobbles in her civilian guise, as does Yuma of ''[[Manga/PuellaMagiOrikoMagica Oriko.]]'' The [[AntagonistTitle titular character]] of the same series wears a sidetail in a scrunchie, and her [[BattleButler bodyguard]] wears two hair clips similar to Sayaka. ''[[Manga/PuellaMagiKazumiMagica Kazumi]]'' mostly went for the hat option, but it still managed to cram in Yuuri's... unusual ties for her MegaTwintails and the [[CreepyTwins Soujus's]] ponytail tie. ''Manga/PuellaMagiSuzuneMagica'' [[http://images.puella-magi.net/e/e2/Puella_Magi_Suzune_Magica_Vol_1_Cover.jpg?20131027084157 continues]] the tradition. Reportedly, this was also why Sayaka gains her now-ubiquitous ''fortissimo'' hairpin for her uniform in the CompilationMovie; Creator/UmeAoki felt she looked a bit lacking next to the other four.

** Fujiwara has a "super black" bow that seeming sticks to the front of her hair without any visible form of support. It's such an integral part of her character design that fans have been known to joke that it's some sort of parasitic organism or SoulJar. Her older and younger sister also have their own accessories (Toyomi having a flower clip at the end of her side plait and Moeha having a pair of bows to hold up her pigtails)

** Princess Ozma of [[Literature/LandOfOz Oz]] is usually depicted with two large flowers in her hair thanks to the original John R Neil illustrations. She's also frequently depicted wearing an elaborate golden diadem marked "OZ" but that's a [[CoolCrown different trope]].

* Music/MelanieMartinez's character Cry Baby from the self-titled ConceptAlbum perpetually wears a giant bow on her head. It goes with the SubvertedInnocence of the album and the retro look of the characters.

* ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'':

* A common trait of the {{Ojou}} is wearing a hairband. Examples include [[VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}} Akiha]], [[VideoGame/Persona4 Yukiko]], and [[Manga/CardcaptorSakura Tomoyo]] (pictured above).

* Similarly, in ''Manga/AimForTheAce'', Reika has an enormous pink bow, the captain has white barrettes, and Kyoto has large orange bows holding back her terrible [[StarWars Princess Leia-esque]] [[{{Odango}} buns.]]

* ''WebVideo/ManicPixieDreamWife'': Simone, the manic pixie from the title, is a fan of quirky clothes and she wears various cute Hair Decorations (crocheted decorations, artificial flowers, bands, or sea shells). Once she starts working in an office, she gradually starts wearing plain, corporate clothes and stops decorating her hair. Her husband Chance is afraid she's broken.

* Daphne in ''Series/StuckInTheMiddle'' has those.

** Gumi's goggles could be considered this.

** Fujiwara has a black bow that seeming sticks to the front of her hair without any visible form of support. It's such an integral part of her character design that fans have been known to joke that it's some sort of parasitic organism or SoulJar. Her older and younger sister also have their own accessories (Toyomi having a flower clip at the end of her side plait and Moeha having a pair of bows to hold up her pigtails)

* In ''Manga/{{Cyborg 009}}'', [[TheSmurfettePrinciple sole female cyborg]] Francoise aka 003 wears a red headband. he 2001 series shows her wearing it ''before'' she was kidnapped and forcibly cyborg-ized.

*** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'' protagonist Cecil's design in ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'', true to his Amano origins, has a headband and beads in his [[LongairedPrettyBoy long, pretty hair]]. Not only Cecil, but almost every character has some sort of bead in his/her hair, even if they weren't there in [[Creator/YoshitakaAmano Amano's]] original designs. And if by any chance they don't wear them in their head the beads will be in the character's outfit, this applies to [[Creator/TetsuyaNomura Nomura's]] designs such as Tidus or Sephiroth

** In an extremely rare male example, [[http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130227105008/finalfantasy/images/c/cf/CaiusFMV.png Caius Ballad]] of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII2'' has a several accessories--most noticably, his headband, but he also sports plenty of beads and feathers.
