Alright, so this is a pretty pervasive style in modern CGI characters now:
Colloquially I'd refer to it as "anime hair but real" but anyone who isn't familiar with anime won't even know what that means (plus it's still animated) and I'd like a definition that can stand on its own. What sort of adjectives could I use to describe it? Spiky implies something more punk; it's kinda feathery but calling that would confuse it with the feathered hair fad of the 70s; it's too neat to be shaggy, and as for beyond that, I'll shamelessly admit I'm not proficient with hair. Is there an actual name for this style?
Best Answer
Tousled.
Originally a negative meaning, tousled hair or tousled good looks has become a positive way of referring to this kind of slightly unkempt but stylish hair.
