Character Hairstyles by Merrillee Whren

Short, long, straight, curly, or even bald. Blond, auburn, brown, jet black, gray, or even pink and purple. These might be some of the hairstyles that a character in a book might have. Hair color and eye color of characters are something authors must decide about as they create characters in the books they write. Eye color and hair color may be natural, but hair color can also come from a bottle. I have created characters with most of these hairstyles, except the pink and purple.  

Here are a few examples from the covers of my books.

A heroine with a short perky style and a hero with plain brown hair.

 

A heroine with long dark-brown hair and a hero with blond hair.

A heroine with light reddish-brown hair and a hero with dark hair.

 A heroine with long blond hair and a hero with brown hair.

 Do you have a favorite hairstyle for a heroine or hero in a book? Does it make a difference about the way you feel about the characters?

You can find information about these books on my website.
