When humanoid aliens in visual fiction have hair, it almost always falls into one of the following styles: "Generic Humanoid" Hair—almost always included a recessed hairline to show off the rubber forehead, which on female characters meant to be attractive is usually only slightly bumpy. Also almost always assumes that Aliens Have No Eyebrows, as is frequently the case in Star Trek and in Babylon 5. If this type of alien does have eyebrows, they will be unusually shaped (probably swept-up Romulan-style). The hair can be and frequently is any color. "Klingon" Hair—varies from long and thinning (Malons from Voyager) to long, full and luxuriant (Worf, Green Skinned Space Babes from TOS) to long, full and mangy or unkempt (Martok, other Klingons, Nausicaans, Kazon). Again, the hairline is recessed to show off the craggy forehead ridges. Almost always brown or black hair. May or may not come with eyebrows and/or facial hair. "Romulan/Vulcan" Hair—typical of Space Nazis and Space Communists. Varies from the near-human looking hair of Vulcans to the super-sleek-and-shiny wigs of Next Generation-era Romulans. Often comes in a bowl cut, or slicked back. Cardassian hair is an example of this. Almost always black hair. Rarely comes with facial hair, unless it is a goatee. Usually look like wigs, and often are. Ditto Aliens love this style. "Wookiee" Hair—covers the entire body. Usually a rubber suit alien, but increasingly represented by Muppets or Serkis Folk. Can be expensive to pull off well. Usually varying shades of brown. "Tenctonese" Hair—bald… at least on the head. Usually accomplished by a shave or a bald cap (for example, Babylon 5's female Centauri), often with a pigment pattern or odd texture, and frequently (but not always) are complimented by enlarged craniums suggesting superior intelligence. Again, this is an alien hairstyle that does not often come with eyebrows. The Greys are entirely hairless with an enlarged cranium. Not-hair-at-all hair—if the writer (and the budget) allow for aliens who don't have hair but have something else on their heads that they wear like hair. Feathers, scales, or even flowers or vines for Plant Aliens can make for a creative physical difference. "Predator" Hair—not actually hair, but bundles of head tentacles/antennae that look like dreadlocks. Usually placed on the head in the same pattern as the Klingons, back from the forehead. Most famously used on the title species of the Predator franchise. Some writers have gone so far as to posit that this hair substitute contains unique sensory organs or is a symbiotic species. Quarren from Star Wars don't count because they are generic "squidheads." |

Wonder Woman (1942): Ytirflirks and Gremlins are both covered hair to toe with green hair that is slightly longer on the sides of their heads. The gremlins do have antenna-like things which are not covered in hair that the Ytirflirks do not and are small enough that the Ytirflirks could fit a dozen of them in a fist. | |

One of Diana's space pirate revolutionaries from Wonder Woman (1987) has a bunch of mildly prehensile tube-like tentacles in place of hair, another has a large boxy lump on each side of her head which seem to be in place of ears as well as hair. One of the races seen most often on the Sangtee Empire's slave planets is a greenish blue-skinned people with pointed ears and symmetric coral-like growths instead of hair. | |

The Protoss of Starcraft naturally have a long bundle of cable-like nerve cords growing out of their head like a ponytail; Dark Templar crop theirs to sever their connection to their race. Kerrigan in her Queen of Blades form has Zerg tendrils in place of hair. Even after she's severed from the hivemind and turned human, she retains this trait. |

Velosians have a sort of orangeish fringe skirting the back of their heads which is very visible against their turquoise skin. Or they did before they and their planet were destroyed by Yuga Khan. The only known survivor, Wonder Woman's elderly ally H'Elgn who was on a slave of the Sangtee Empire when Velos was destroyed, has a white fringe instead. | |

Farscape: Luxans like Ka D'Argo have approximately eight tentacles called "tenkas" on the backs of their heads in addition to one on their chins. Their distant cousins the Ilanic have two tenkas on their foreheads and two on their chins. Tenkas have no musculature and merely hang but are sensitive to touch. | |

Mass Effect has the asari and their "hair-tentacles" (or so Joker describes them), which are basically cartilaginous crests that grow in a vaguely curvy conic direction towards the back of the asari's head. Quarian evo-suits designed for men also have a bundle of cables connected to the top of their helmets to evoke a long braid. The angara have in place of hair a cobra-like hood. | |

On Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Morn is bald, but was stated to have lost his hair due to long-term latinum poisoning; however, all subsequent Lurians on Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Lower Decks have also been shown bald. Male Bolians are nearly all bald; some female Bolians have hair, while others are bald. (Amusingly, the most prominent Bolian on Star Trek: The Next Generation was the ship's barber!) Ferengi are also bald and have prominent, lumpy skulls; most wear a headdress that drapes down from the circumference of the rear of their head from ear to ear. |

Lilith's Brood: The Oankali have short, anemone-like sensory tentacles where humans would have hair and eyes, as well as in smaller patches elsewhere on their bodies. They help the Oankali breathe, see, hear, and taste, and can also deliver a deadly sting. Their version of making eye contact is to point their tentacles towards a person, which takes most humans a long time to get used to. | |
