Some non-mammalian cartoon characters are drawn with what looks to be real hair on their heads, despite the fact that real hair is exclusive to mammals and one of our defining traits. Bird characters tend to get away with this the most, since their "hair" can be Handwaved as feathers that happen to look like Tertiary Sexual Characteristics, namely long "hair" on female characters. Compare Non-Mammal Mammaries, when something else is used to humanize female non-mammal characters. Examples of Non-Mammalian Hair include:

  • Some non-mammalian cartoon characters are drawn with what looks to be real hair on their heads, despite the fact that real hair is exclusive to mammals and one of our defining traits. Bird characters tend to get away with this the most, since their "hair" can be Handwaved as feathers that happen to look like Tertiary Sexual Characteristics, namely long "hair" on female characters. Lesser versions of this trope include non-mammals with eyelashes (another signifier that the wearer is female) or eyebrows to make human-like facial expressions. This trope is tricky to extend to aliens whose species probably can't be defined on our terms. Compare Non-Mammal Mammaries, when something else is used to humanize female non-mammal characters.
