So you have a humanoid being, but actual keratin hair would look weird on them, possibly because they are not mammals, such as Lizard Folk, but you still want something like a head of hair.
There are multiple subtropes because that's a common desire, but we haven't troped all the standards, like replacing hair with feathers.
Weird Beard is the beard version.
Alien Hair is likely to overlap, but that's just "space aliens have weird hair(styles)", nothing required about their actual composition. The labels of "Not-hair-at-all hair" and "Predator" Hair would count for this.
Medusa and Gorgeous Gorgon are highly likely to overlap, because the Medusa template has snakes for hair, but individual creators might not do that.
Hair Wings usually overlap with this, but not always because the wings could technically be made of "regular" hair. See also Non-Mammalian Hair.

Astro Boy: Bem the bomb robot from the classic story Earth's Last Day is a reluctant humanoid control system for a planet-destroying bomb resembling a boy with bird-like wings growing out from his hair. Oddly, the alien race who created him have bat wings on their heads.

Wonder Woman (1987):
One of Diana's space pirate revolutionaries 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.

Green Lantern:
Green Lantern Feska of Zarox and her people have a crest striped with black instead of hair.
Deeter's "hair" does not have individual strands, and despite being shaped like a human haircut is more like smooth shaped growth, plus his "mustache", and both look like they could have been popped out of a jello mold and glued to his head.
Sinestro Corps members Kiriazis and Scivor both have needle-like spikes and horns in place of hair.
Female Ungarans have dark thin cord-like things on their heads that look sort of like thin braids though some artists just can't seem to keep from drawing it like regular hair. Males, like Green Lantern Abin Sur, are generally completely hairless.

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 a slave of the Sangtee Empire when Velos was destroyed, has a white fringe instead.

Mass Effect:
The asari and their "hair-tentacles", or so Joker describes them, but they're not actually Tentacle Hair. They're 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.
Mass Effect: Andromeda: The angara have a cobra-like hood in place of hair.

Multiverse Tales: Fear Herself/Araava, one of the main villains, differs from other Overseers by having bubbling, shifting purple slime instead of hair on top of her head. This, combined with her unnaturally blackish-grey skin, Supernatural Gold Eyes, and Creepy Monotone, helps establish her as an unsettling Humanoid Abomination, perfectly fitting for a woman who created the hordes of demons that populate her world.

Warhammer 40,000: Orks are naturally bald, and instead use a type of squig (vicious creatures that are half fungus, half teeth, and half mad) that's quite small but covered in hair (appropriately known as a hair-squig) that bites down on their scalp and doesn't let go. They come in many lengths and colors, and so orks don't understand why humans never seem to want to trade for them.

In the published version of the field guide, the Caribbean Mermaid has what looks like anemone tendrils on her head, while the lionfish-like Atlantic Sea King has lionfish fins there. The Nixie also has skin markings over her eyes that look like eyebrows.

Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft: Intelligent murlocs are shown wearing their distinctive crest of spikes like hair. One female murloc even has hers done up in a ponytail. This is averted in World of Warcraft proper, where murlocs always keep their spikes straight up even while wearing a hat (although, this is more likely due to model limitations, and the fact that non-hostile clothes-wearing murlocs are exceptionally rare in the canon game).
