    Worst Hairdon'ts of Final Fantasy



    Hair. Many of us have it. Many of us wish we had more/less of it. Or different hair. Maybe straight or wavy or curly. Perfectly coiffed, stylish, healthy. Maybe you wish you had more or less beard hair or body hair. Maybe you're perfectly happy with what you have. If you aren't though, fret not, for at least your hair isn't as bad as these characters.

    Seymour Guado



    Why? What's even happening here? It's blue, it's.... oddly shaped. His fathers hair was much more stylish and his mom had nice hair, too. I'm not sure what happened to him here.

    Wakka



    Speaking of Final Fantasy X, I can't say I know what's going on here. There's like that one bit that is much much longer and it all stands up and like... curves? Does he style it this way on purpose? If his hair ever fell, he'd have a hard time seeing anything.

    Zell



    Wakka may have actually taken inspiration from this blonde, spiky, uneven hair do. It does seem to fit Zell's personality though, I'll give him that.

    Cloud



    Speaking of blonde and spikey, here is a man who needs to style his hair with cement every morning. Does he look like a chocobo? Yes. Yes, he does.

    Strago



    Old man with a Mohawk? Sure, why not. He can kind of pull it off, I guess. Not my favourite style though.

    Ceodore




    A side-sweep is one thing, but there is such a thing as taking it too far. This... this is too far.

    Gau



    Think living in the wild most of your life excuses your hair?? IT DOESN'T GAU, GET IT TOGETHER! A++ on those shorts, though.

    Chocobo



    Fix your chest feathers! Think you're in a barn or something? Look professional.

    These were some of my worst FF hair don'ts. What are some of your least favourite hair do's and why?

      Seymour styled his hair with evil.

      Anime style should be used only in anime (or anime-based games), nowhere else.
      Seymour is the best example.

      I feel like Seymour is the only 'WTF' hair style on the entire list.

      I must admit they did have Cloud's hair just a little TOO spiky and just a bit too much like a Chocobo's (Tifa: Awww Cloud your hair looks like a Chocobo's, yahhhh whatever floats your boat Tifa)

      Also I'm seeing too many examples of men with bad hair. Just another way in which gamemakers create men who are less hot than their female counterparts (sigh)

      Honestly, don't think this is the case here. What you say is true regarding how butts are presented, for example, with male butts being much less exposed than female ones, but the faces and hair of video game men are usually made to be conventionally attractive.

      What we have here is a case of values dissonance, as I'm pretty sure whoever designed all those hairstyles thinks they look cool. Japanese media have different beauty standards for men than Western media.

      Seymour.

      Without question for me, the worst Final Fantasy haircut.

      Seymour resembles a contestant on a season of RuPaul's Drag Race who did the best she could with "caribou", "fairy", and "kimono" as the random swords assigned for that week's challenge.

      What is everyone's problem with XIII-2 Snow's hair? I think it's just how he looks without the bandanna.

      Except it's longer and the bangs are slicked back in the worst possible way, making him look super sleazy
