Added DiffLines:

# Film.WhoFramedRogerRabbit: Roger Rabbit has a tuft of red hair on his head that is different from the white fur covering the rest of his body. '''No reason given for the tuft of fur.'''
# Characters.AnimaniacsTheWarnerSiblings: Yakko and Wakko both have these in the reboot. '''No context beyond "characters has these."'''
# Characters.WordGirl: He has a few tufts that stick out above his forehead. '''No context beyond "character has one."'''
# Characters.TheSolveItSquadReturns: He has a tuft of darker brown hair on his head as though it were human hair. '''Not enough context.'''
# Trivia.StarFoxAdventures: Krystal's original ''Dinosaur Planet'' design is vastly different from her finalized design. She wore a simple brown dress and brown boots, had a white face mask, and (due to N64 hardware limitations) had no FurryFemaleMane or even a TuftOfHeadFur. '''Pothole doesn't mention any reason for the tuft of head fur.'''
# VideoGame.SambaDeAmigo: FurryFemaleMane: Inverted. Linda's head is always covered and Amiga only has a TuftOfHeadFur. However the very male but {{bishonen}} Rio had a full head of reddish blonde hair. '''Pothole gives no reason for the tuft of head fur.'''
# WesternAnimation.ElinorWondersWhy: Ari has a spiky tuft as hair. '''No context beyond "character has one."'''
# Characters.OtherworldlyRavenousBeast: Has one as you can expect from a creature with fur around his head. '''No context beyond "character has one."'''
# Characters.DuckTales: Sometimes. His hairstyle varies from episode to episode from a full head of hair versus only the part that is visible when he's wearing his hat. '''Reason not given as to why the character has a tuft of head fur.'''
# Anime.OneStormyNightSecretFriends: Mei has a hair-looking tuft of pink fluff on her head. '''No context beyond "character has one."'''

# SonicTheHedgehog.TropesFToL ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics'' plays this straight with many of its CanonForeigner female characters (and often males too). In comparison, [=SegaSonic=] canon characters tend to avert this. Bunnie is one example where she originally averted this trope and had a '''TuftOfHeadFur''' but was later given long hair. '''Pothole just mentions a character having a tuft of head fur.'''
# YMMV.MickeyDonaldGoofyTheThreeMusketeers: This film's interpretations of Mickey and Minnie really boosted their popularity. Much fan art of the characters is inspired by these versions of the characters (especially Minnie's TuftOfHeadFur). '''Pothole just mentions a character having a tuft of head fur, but not why they have it.'''
# KungFuPanda.TropesShortFilms: Teenage Po has a short clump of hair on the top of his head. '''No context beyond "character has one."'''
# Characters.TheWaltenFiles: AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: A non-superpower variation. Rosemary bears a notable resemblance to Sha[[spoiler:, the animatronic character she ends up having her remains stuffed in]]. Her EightiesHair is shaped similarly to Sha's '''TuftOfHeadFur''', and she is portrayed wearing a puffy green sweater reminiscent of sheep's wool; to drive it home, the cartoon illustration of Sha in ''Relocate Project'' repeatedly glitches into Rosemary, with the two sharing an identical silhouette.[[spoiler: Considering how her murderer could very likely be her husband possessing the Bon animatronic, coupled with how Bon and Sha themselves have a habit of appearing close together, this is very fitting.]] '''Pothole just mentions a character having a tuft of head fur.'''
# Characters.HarveyBeaks (2): Like father, like son. '''No context.'''
# DivergentCharacterEvolution.SpyroReignitedTrilogy: In Sheila's Alp, the three Mountain Goats had the exact same design and shared the same exact voice in the original game. For ''Reignited'', they now each have distinct designs as well as have different sounding voices. Each of them have different shaped horns and different goatee designs. They each wear different colored vests with Billy's being red, Pete's being violet, and Bobby's being green. Each of their shirts has a different symbol with Billy's having a red triangle, Pete's having a violet diamond, and Bobby's having a blue circle. They as well differ in eye colors with Billy's being blue, Pete's being brown, and Bobby's being green. Each one also vary in [[TuftOfHeadFur tufts of hair]] with Bobby having a tuft of white hair, Pete just having some strands sticking out, and Billy having none. Lastly, Billy is the only one whose goatee is tied and Bobby is the only one with an earring. '''Pothole just references a character having a tuft of head fur.'''
# TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy.TropesSToZ: Sassy Cat has fluff on her head. '''No context beyond "character has one."'''
# VideoGame.DisneyHeroesBattleMode: OffModel: Downplayed. For some reason, [=PerBlue=] added a small '''TuftOfHeadFur''' to Angel on her pictures in the skill icons (apart from her White skill Siren Song). She does not have one like Stitch does in her canon, though they did not add one to her actual model anyway. '''Pothole gives no reason for the tuft of head fur.'''

# Literature.FlawedDogs: Sam has one and it plays a large part of his beauty, as the tuft of head hair is from a valuable bloodline and one of the reasons why he gets destined to be a show dog. '''Reason given for the tuft of head fur.'''
# Characters.HappyFeet: More like tuft of head feathers, but Ramon, Lombardo, Nestor, and Rinaldo to an extent have prominent and stylized feathers on their head to distinguish them from the majority of the Adelie penguins. '''Reason given for tuft of head fur.'''
# WesternAnimation.AnimalsUnited UniformityException: Chino is the only cape buffalo in his herd with white horns. Also, Biggie the rhino has '''[[TuftOfHeadFur red hair]]''', which makes him stand out from the other average looking rhinos. '''Pothole gives reason for tuft of head fur.'''

Added DiffLines:

# Characters.PAWPatrol: Both of them have this, although [[FurryFemaleMane Ella's is longer]]. '''Not much context given beyond "character has this."'''
# {{Animesque}}: ''Manga/{{Warrior Cats|Manga}}''' graphic novels, despite being American in origin, are called manga, and James Barry in particular has a more animesque style than the other artists. He tends to give cats '''[[TuftOfHeadFur tufts on their heads]]''', even though cats don't actually have said tufts (and in an extreme example, one had [[http://i56.tinypic.com/35i53sx.jpg actual hair]]). '''Pothole merely references characters having one with no reason why.'''
# Characters.{{Bluey}}: She has one. '''No context beyond "character has one."'''
# Characters.PeepAndTheBigWideWorld: She has a few strands of hair. '''No context beyond "character has one."'''
# Trivia.SonicR: The models Sonic Team originally gave to Traveller's Tales were more accurate, but had to be simplified for optimization purposes. For example, Tails' TuftOfHeadFur and whiskers were removed, as were the orange stripes on Knuckles' shoes. The unmodified models are used in the ending images. '''Pothole just references a character having one.'''
# WebAnimation.{{Wings}}: FurryFemaleMane: Most female characters have hair and most males simply have {{tuft|OfHeadFur}}s, though there are exceptions. For example, Dawn has blue hair. '''Pothole just seems to say males have tufts of head fur, without explaining any significance as to why.'''
# WesternAnimation.{{Pinocchio}}: Figaro the kitten has a tuft of fur on the back of his head. '''No context beyond "character has one."'''

Still, that didn't stop the Japanese from making them into an actual tuft of fur [[https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/disney/images/d/dc/Reubenanime2.png/revision/latest?cb=20130319202439 in an episode of the anime.]] '''As written, no reason is given for why the characters have a tuft of head fur.'''

# WesternAnimation.{{Rio}}: both macaws and toucans are designed with a crest of feathers on their head that varies in size and shape, to give the individual characters more distinct appearances.

# WesternAnimation.CatsDontDance: Both feline leads have a significant amount of fur atop their heads. Orange tabby tom Danny has the standard tuft that even his straw hat can't contain, while pretty angora kitty Sawyer likes to curl hers into a stylish swirl. Being the main characters, theirs are the most prominent of all the anthropomorphic characters in-universe. '''As written, the entry just says that the characters have a tuft of head fur.'''
# WebVideo.RyanToysReview: Combo has a tuft of blond hair on his head. '''Character just has a tuft of head fur.'''
# WhatCouldHaveBeen.TheLionKing: Timon's DisappearedDad was originally a character. He was scrapped because it was felt there were too many characters in the film already. Timon's dad ended up becoming a CompositeCharacter with Ma. Timon's dad has a buzzcut-like TuftOfHeadFur. '''Pothole just references a character having a TuftOfHeadFur.'''

Here a wick check will be performed for TuftOfHeadFur.

'''Why?:''' While the trope is supposed to be about a tuft of head fur being used to visually distinguish a character, it gets misused for just "this character happens to have a tuft of head fur."
