Here is a prompt from an older set (Prompt Set #680):

I want it on the record that it wasn’t my plan.

Tell me your ideas: What do you think is going on here?

Two assassins standing over an innocent man with a knife in his chest after he walked in when they thought they’re target was coming

Two scientists in a lab, surrounded in the broken pieces of the now destroyed lab after one of them mixed one thing with something it shouldn’t touch.

A newly crowned king desperately trying to persuade his peasant lover that he never wanted this responsibility; he wanted to stay a farm boy, but for whatever reason he’d been chosen to replace the old king (who had disappeared under mysterious circumstances).

A demon runs an Opium ring and survives off the blood of young virgin men, it appears as a normal handsome male and entices the gay young men into sexual activities, then drains them. 

A female knight who held the hands of a princess she had fallen in love with. Even though she was meant to escort said princess to another kingdom for her betrothal and eventual marriage to a king.

This began as a guide to describing Afro/curly hair but of course, I got carried away. From look and texture of hair, colors and various styles, this guide serves as a thesaurus of sorts for hair, as well as pointers for use in your writing.

Culturally Significant Hair Coverings:

• Know the meaning behind head wear and why it’s worn, when and by whom, such as a Native Nation’s headdress, before bestowing a character with it.

Head Coverings Resources:

• More on various head coverings.
• See here for more Islamic Veils. 
• See here for more on the Nigerian gele.
  
• See here on African American Headwraps.

Afro - Curly - Straightened

There are many varieties of braids, twists & Afro hair styles; have some more!

• African Hair: Braiding Styles 10 African Types

Describing Black (Afro) hair:

• Appropriative Hairstyles: Keep in mind that Afro styles should be kept to those in the African Diaspora, such as dreadlocks, cornrows + certain and many braided styles.
  
• Tread carefully describing Afro hair as “wild” “unkempt” “untamed” or any words implying it’s unclean or requires controlling.
  
• “Nappy” and “wooly” are generally words to stay away from, the first having heavy negative connotations for many and the latter, though used in the Holy Bible, is generally not acceptable anymore and comes off as dehumanizing due to Animal connotations.
  
• There are mixed feelings on calling Black hair “kinky.” I’m personally not opposed to the word in itself and usage depends on the person’s race (I’m more comfortable with a Black person using it vs. a Non-Black person) as well as their tone and context (if it’s used in a neutral or positive tone vs. negatively/with disdain). Get feedback on your usage, or simply forgo it.
  
• See our tags “Black Hair” and “Natural Hair” for more discussion on describing Black hair.

Texture - Look - Styles

Hair Colors and Style

Writing Tips & Things to Keep in Mind:

• Combination Words: Try combing words to illustrate look of hair. A character with springy coils that dance across her shoulders with every movement, the man with thick silvery hair slicked back into a ponytail…

• Mind Perspective: Depending on POV, a character might not know exactly what cornrows or a coiffure style is, at least in name, and it might make more sense if they described the hairdo instead. More defining terms might come from a more knowing source or the wearer themselves. One book I read described a girl’s afro puff as “thick hair pulled up into a cute, curly, poufy thing on top of her head and tied with a yellow ribbon.”

• POC & Hair Colors: People of Color’s hair comes in all shades and textures. There are Black people with naturally blond and loosely-textured to straight hair, East Asian people with red hair, and so on. Keep that in mind when coding characters if you tend to rely on hair color alone to denote a character is white vs. a Person of Color.

• Related Tropes: There are tropes and discussion related to People of Color, colored hair, and light-colored hair and features.
