A character, usually an anthropomorphic octopus or squid, but often an alien or monster of some kind, has tentacles in lieu of hair. Most of the time it's solely an aesthetic design choice, made to make the character more visually appealing. But sometimes it's prehensile and used for combat or quality-of-life purposes. The tentacles can completely replace their hair, or it can extend out of it, usually as an alternate form of sorts. Prevalent in works on the human end of the Sliding Scale of Anthropomorphism. Can also act as Alien Hair to show how bizarre the character or their species is. Compare Hair Wings, Medusa, and Cthulhumanoid. For the purposes of the trope, tentacle beards and moustaches also count. |

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW): Mimic the Octopus has his tentacles on the back of his head to evoke the image of long, wavy hair. However, he only has four of them, with the other four suction cups being on his hands and feet. | |

Cuphead: The mermaid Cala Maria has an entire octopus adorning her head, its tentacles forming her hair. When she transforms into her gorgon One-Winged Angel form, though, these tentacles become live snakes. | |

Assassination Classroom: Itona has several tentacles implanted onto his head so he can fight Koro-sensei, though it's ineffective against the teacher. Later, the number is knocked down to three so as to focus on speed, but it's still unhelpful. Downplayed with Kayano/Akari. She has tentacles that almost appear to be on her head, though they're actually implanted in her neck. Before fully mutating into his current appearance, upon finding out the scientists that experimented on him intend to kill him, Koro-sensei suddenly manifests tentacles all over his body, predominantly on his head, completely replacing his black hair with long, white tendrils. |

Monster Musume: Suu has several pseudopods coming out of her head, which are still visible when she shapeshifts. Octo has eight tentacles growing from her head to match the eight on her lower body, and they are just as dexterous. She often wears a hood that leaves only the two longest tentacles exposed. |

Dr. Crafty: Pepper, being a cephalopod mutant, has a set of uneven tentacles attached to her head that droop like large bangs of hair, and they function as additional arms when active. They tend to express themselves throughout her pose set, pointing and curling in all sorts of directions as she moves around. | |

PaRappa the Rapper: The Hairdresser Octopus from the second game has all eight tentacles as his hair. When in his "normal" blue form, they're low and wavy and look more like normal hair, but in his "crazy" red form, they're upright and disconnected from each other. | |

In Mass Effect, the asari race have densely packed tentacles/tendrils on their otherwise humanoid heads, where humans would have hair. In one conversation in the third game, local wisecracker Joker even asks your asari teammate Liara if she can "wiggle her head-tentacles." She pointedly refuses to answer. | |

Splatoon: Every single Inkling and Octoling has tentacles as hair in their humanoid forms. They can even be cut and styled just like normal human hair, without harm to their squid/octopus forms (though Octolings have the side effect of their cut-off tentacles sometimes coming to life). Don't bother asking how the Octoling male's afro is supposed to work, though. The anemone-based characters like Annie and Harmony also all have tentacle hair. | |
