History Main / HairWings

* This is often used for the explanation for why Knuckles the Echidna from ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' can glide on air currents. By assuming a skydiving stance, his dreadlock-like spines fan out like mini-wings, enabling flight for limited distances.

* The Siren summon from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' has huge, golden wings... sitting on top of her head. Even her eyebrows appear to be feathers, though it all does sort of blend in with actual hair (which is the exact same color as the feathers)
* ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' series has Moh Shuvuu demon. Naturally, she uses them to hover all the time.

* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles'':
** Hair Wings are the defining trait of the the High Entia race from ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1''. They can range from being very long (reaching half way down their legs) or comparatively short (Barely below the neck). There's a good reason for this, as small-winged High Entia such as Melia are actually [[HalfHumanHybrid half-Homs]].
** Various Kevesi soldiers in ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles3'' have wings sprouting from their heads, among them main party member Eunie and Colony 9 commander Zeon. One side quest has a character speculate that the wings give people greater control over ether, and that Eunie's skills as a [[CombatMedic Medic Sniper]] stem from them. They're heavily implied to be descendants of the High Entia.

* ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTensei'' series has Moh Shuvuu demon. Naturally, she uses them to hover all the time.

* The [[SuccubiAndIncubi Succubus]] boss character from ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight'' is an unusual case in that her wings do appear to sprout from her back like normal (well, as "normal" as a demon's wings can be), but artwork for her shows that some of her excess hair not tied up or flowing down seems to melt into her wings and form both the upper parts of the patagium (membranous underside) and the back of them.

* In ''WebOriginal/MultituberculateEarth'' pteroectypodids and ''Plummobaatar'' have wings made of closely-packed, feather-like hair, based on the flaps sifakas have. As they use the fingers as airfoils they have semi-literal FeatherFingers.

* The Celestials in ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}'' have hair wings (or stiff, winglike hair) which enable them to fly. Waka the prophet has winglike extensions on his NiceHat which have the same visual effect.

* Engi Threepiece's from ''Manga/YumekuiMerry'' are shaped like wings which she can glide with.

* ''Anime/DigimonFrontier'' gives us Zephyrmon, Zoe's beast spirit form, who looks like a tall beautiful harpy with head-wings.

Wings that sprout out of a person's head where her hair would usually be. In some cases the person has normal hair that she can transform into wings, while in other cases she will have HairWings as a permanent anatomical feature. Often the wings look rather hair-like, especially the parts close to the scalp. Almost AlwaysFemale, because LongHairIsFeminine.

* Lolo, a caddy in ''{{Pangya}}'' has hair that juts out of the side of her head that look like wings ... or maybe they're actual wings. Either way if the wind is blowing about 6m or higher she'll sometimes comment 'I'm glad I have wings'.
