Geekspiration: Hipster Hair from Sci-fi Characters

When hipsters go hunting for hair inspiration they don’t often cruise the sci-fi section of their local DVD store. Well, more fool them, because it’s a little known fact that some of the most beloved characters from the future rock pretty banging hair-dos. Don’t look at me like that, it’s a FACT.

Don’t just take my word for it – brace yourself for Annie Fox’s guide to hipster hair from the future!

[insert dramatic music]

Princess Laeia: THE high bun

This royal rebel loves an up-do. Best known for her ear-warming, double buns (Chun Li sites A New Hope as the inspiration behind her famous hair), Princess Leia also has a few slightly more wearable styles that kinda look like they’ve stepped out of Coachella.

Honorable mention: sexylady side plait

Pris: Frizzy blonde bob

Darryl Hannah rocked out with her strung-out blonde hair in her dystopian future long before the so-called “fashion elite” picked up their first bottle of Peroxide. Pris also gets bonus points for rocking some rad glam-punk outfits.

Leeloo: Bright orange bob

Everything about Leeloo is so damn ice-cold that it feels like cheating to add her here. BUT that bright orange hair is so fly (and replicated many times since IRL) that I’d get death threats if I omitted it.

See? SciFi and fashion are much better friends than most people think. Sure they might be an odd couple (like Beyonce and Gwyneth – amiright?), but they’re pals nonetheless.

Whose hair from the future or distant fantasy lands would you call your own if you could?
