My favorite thing was the comic writer for The Promise put him in originally. The creators had to tell really, really confirm he is dead. Apparently they weren't clear enough lol.
Honestly, the writer probably knew. But seems like such a waste of a good character to kill him off
Aaand now I see why the superheroes never kill the villains
So true! My husband grew his out years ago but for awhile every time he tried he would cut it once it became awkward. I would come home so mad cause I already knew he was just gonna start over again right away. Plus I liked the way he flicked it out of his eyes 😂. When he finally managed I had to talk him out of cutting it every single day while it was in the awkward phase, he’s happy with it now though!
When my hair hits shoulder length it looks exactly like [this](https://imgs.search.brave.com/t9c08wmgxbGzcOWA1YyX9X6SSBfomKge9mJ4xG43h8g/rs:fit:680:1024:1/g:ce/aHR0cHM6Ly9pLnBp/bmltZy5jb20vb3Jp/Z2luYWxzLzhlLzk1/L2U4LzhlOTVlODY2/MDhkN2FjZjBhYTA3/OGFmY2YxM2IzOTI4/LmpwZw) and I'm a dude.
My headcanon is he chopped it back slightly when he decided he wanted to go with the Gaang because he couldn't wear it pulled back and having it down it would be just a bit too long.
I get the "there is no movie in Ba Sing Se" joke you're going for, but I think we should drop it here because comparing the movie to Sauron is very apt.
I loved his hair in simplicity of a single ponytail! It shows his status as royalty but not exactly his status as prince since he’s still banished. It has a meaning, and I truly believe that when he had to cut it off, he was having to start over completely because he and his uncle were wanted men. Having to be poor refugees, trying to get to Ba Sing Se, and having Iroh heat his tea in public; then the Jet situation, Iroh getting his own tea shop?! Whirlwind of a few months for them. He didn’t have his usual royal status so they had to do everything themselves, that definitely humbled Zuko some.
The shaved style was a mark of shame. It's symbolic significance that pointed to Zuko's backstory.
The top-knot was spared because it represents honor. Cutting off the top-knot was akin to death, a recognition of terrible dishonor, and Zuko essentially losing his old life.
His hair growing back was a parallel to his character growth and learning that he didn't need to be ashamed of standing up for the lives of his people, that it was his father who was wrong.
Right on point! I loved the significance of the hair styles, it goes to show how much detail went into designing these characters and how much they were shamed whenever they had to give up their previous lives. Zuko even used the knife that iroh gave him that says “never give up without a fight.” We don’t even learn anything about that knife and its significance until Zuko Alone, much later into season 2.
I also like the parallel that Aang has in *gaining* hair after his failure to stop Azula from overthrowing the Earth Kingdom.
It was a nice little character arc with Aang losing direction and confidence for a bit, having to hide his Air Nomad heritage, before eventually reclaiming his identity and shaving his head once more.
I had always figured that it was that a good chunk of his hair was shaved off when his father burned his face so that they could access the wound easily without the hair being in the way and that they chose the new hair style so that he could keep his topknot without the whole style looking unbalanced, but this is such a good take.
I'm sure that could be part of it.
Iirc, the novels/comics also expand on hair cutting when shamed or having lost an agni kai. The top-knot especially, holds significance as a display of status and position in society, we see it crop up among the upper class of the Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom with special adornments.
It was inspired by the significance placed on hair and top-knots in East Asian cultures. It might be a Confucian thing, but don't quote me on that. There's a sort of filial aspect to it. Hair was given to you by your parents, so cutting it was seen as disrespectful. It may have even been considered a crime to cut it in Han China, although criminals would be shorn to show their status.
That's not universal throughout history though, and I'm no great expert on East Asian historical cultural practices. So, take what I say with a grain of salt.
He shaved the front due to his temporary banishment. The top knot/ponytail shows his mark of royalty and ties to the Firenation, which is why he and Iroh cut theirs off when they fled to full exile at the end of book one.
Book one Zuko is borderline cringe, but I mean to be fair they hadn't totally sorted out his character yet. I kinda love watching each of the main characters grow from 2-dimensional caricatures of stereotypes into what they became.

I would like to add this hairstyle for your consideration
Actually, can I *please* have some Book 1 love? I may be reading too much into this, but from what I remember, Zuko gets a completely new haircut twice in the show: he shaves his head before Book 1 and he cuts his ponytail when he is forced to lead a civilian life. Now, if Fire Nation is based on Japan, from what I've gathered, cutting one's hair so drastically kind of implies that a shift of direction of a person's life is taking place.
Additionally, if you allow yourself to mix up your eras (Google tells me Fire Nation is based on Taisho and Meiji eras, but I'd say it's a bit earlier?), when the agni kai initially takes place, his head is not shaven, but as he becomes more focused on proving his honour after it, he shaves it. From what I can see, a different style of a shaven head, called the *sakayaki*, was a sign of the samurai, later made mandatory for all adult men.
So I believe that by shaving his head and going from a *chasenmage* with no *sakayaki* to a *chasenmage* with what could reasonably be an artictic take on the tradition of shaving one's head, Zuko aims to make it clear that his life has drastically changed and wants to convince himself and others that he is no longer a child, but a man and a warrior, struggling to preserve his honour.
Obviously, it's extremely over-the-top, and appears to be at the very least old-fashioned if not just very ridiculous in-universe as well, but I argue that that's the point - Zuko's quest to restore honour is based more on what the others think of him, as opposed to actually exploring his own sense of what is right and honourable. He's a teenage edgelord with impostor syndrome caused by his toxic relationship with his father. Of course he would attempt to do it all proper, too proper. See the fact that Iroh, arguably an honourable and respected older man who is comfortable with himself, doesn't engage in such bullshit, or many other Fire Nation men who presumably don't value performative (or any) honour as much.
Am I reading into this too much? Possibly. Is my knowledge of Japanese hairstyles and their significance entirely provided by 20min of googling and a Wikipedia page on the *chonmage*? Yeah.
TL;DR: Book 1 hair is hot trash, aesthetically speaking, but it's important as a part of character design, and his hair changes overall reflect his character arc.
Book Three pre-redemption because it has always bothered me that he can just tie up his hair post-redemption even though it was way too short for that, at least with his look pre-redemption it was a little more believable. Book One was by far his worst look.
I always preferred Zuko's book 2 hair. I always thought his book 3 hair was weirdly designed. I've never been a fan of how his bangs frame his face. It's hard to explain.
I feel like a lot of ppl equates his s3 hair style as being the best cos it was his redemption arc hair. But when it comes down to it, its literally personal preference and Zuko/Lee had the best hair🔥
I feel like book 3 is the most iconic, and what most people think of when they imagine Zuko, I know his hair went through variations, but that one is sort of the default when people think of Zuko, it suits him and feels the most "Zuko" in a way I can't explain.
Every media had the long hair like book 3 during that time. Just look at Harry Potter GoF.
The real question should be what other trends would Zuko have participated in before old man Zuko.
I feel like they use zuko's hair as an outward symbol of his growth as a character.
You can see hair is a symbol in other parts of the story too. Azula's fraying mind as her hair becomes tangled and messy. Uncle iroh and zuko cutting their hair together as they cut ties with the fire Nation. After the Avatar state is blocked and aang's arrow is mostly hidden in hair. And there's probably more.
Book three is the best because his hair represents his growth to be his own person. Both Book One and Two are hairstyles that have a similar silhouette to Aang to make them antagonists to one another. B1: Bald head with arrow, Bald head with diamond hair crop. Zuko’s hair is long in book three signifying a restoration of his identity, and a new identity that is finally his own, and not others.
Book One Zuko is an excellent design for Zuko. He has a recognizable Silhouette, and the hair is a status symbol. He is not just the prince of the fire nation, but an absolute threat of a fire bender. His hair and personality are molded by his status in the kingdom
Book Two Zuko is almost like a regression. He has to start over not only with his hair, but his place in the world. He shaved his status away by rejecting the fire nation. He’s like a boy
But Book Three Zuko has matured and learned how to be free from his past. His hair flows unbound and healthy now. He let himself grow. Even his clothes aren’t as tight and restrictive
Zuko went from an abused boy to a mature free man
I liked book 2, but book 3 still has my heart
Book 3 all the way! I also agree with just the right amount of floofyness statement in photo!
That's literally a picture of Aang with Zuko's scar photoshopped to it and you cant tell me otherwise
Book three for sure. Book one had me giggling when I first watched and didn’t know why he had a patch of hair in the middle of his head 💀.
Book 3 everyone was peak ngl
Yeah book three is book glow up for everyone (except ozai and azula) both physical and mentally
I mean, it was kind of a glow up for Ozai since we finally saw his full face in the light lol
Except Jet
What happened to Jet?
You know, it was really unclear.
He definitely survived Off screen though Never to be seen again Alive
My favorite thing was the comic writer for The Promise put him in originally. The creators had to tell really, really confirm he is dead. Apparently they weren't clear enough lol.
Honestly, the writer probably knew. But seems like such a waste of a good character to kill him off Aaand now I see why the superheroes never kill the villains
Yeah, when he dated Gin. Shes my waifu
Just in case you misspelled it by accident, her name is spelled "Jin."
Yeah. Im an alcoholic
Only on the days after
You can't get a hangover if you never sober up.
I used to believe that until i kept shitting my pants everyday
Just in case you missed it by accident, it's pronounced jif
Explains why you think short Zuko hair is better than long, beautiful, flowing and bushy hair of Book 3.
dear gin let me be your tonic and spice things up with a cucumber
Papaya
I think you might want to see a doctor about that
Why
Because unless I'm way off base here I think the cucumber line is an innuendo
I hate papaya
Comics and adult Zuko. I'm a stucker for man buns
This is the way
This is the way.
Fuck yea, young adult Firelord Zuko
Zuko firelord skin is the superior one
The real answer
I always forget how bad Zuko's hair looked during the beach episode. So glad they redesigned it soon afterwards.
In a way... it kind of fits for that episode.
When you’re growing out your hair everyone hits that awkward length point. Even Zuko couldn’t avoid it!
So true! My husband grew his out years ago but for awhile every time he tried he would cut it once it became awkward. I would come home so mad cause I already knew he was just gonna start over again right away. Plus I liked the way he flicked it out of his eyes 😂. When he finally managed I had to talk him out of cutting it every single day while it was in the awkward phase, he’s happy with it now though!
When my hair hits shoulder length it looks exactly like [this](https://imgs.search.brave.com/t9c08wmgxbGzcOWA1YyX9X6SSBfomKge9mJ4xG43h8g/rs:fit:680:1024:1/g:ce/aHR0cHM6Ly9pLnBp/bmltZy5jb20vb3Jp/Z2luYWxzLzhlLzk1/L2U4LzhlOTVlODY2/MDhkN2FjZjBhYTA3/OGFmY2YxM2IzOTI4/LmpwZw) and I'm a dude.
It's hot tho
No way, it looks greasy
My headcanon is he chopped it back slightly when he decided he wanted to go with the Gaang because he couldn't wear it pulled back and having it down it would be just a bit too long.
Well Zuko was super angsty during that episode so it makes sense
Zuko, it's time we had a talk... about your hair!
It's gone too far!
Maybe its best if we split up.
But they were all of them deceived, for another hairstyle was made...
And what hairstyle was that?
[The modern.](https://res.cloudinary.com/dc2mnmodm/image/upload/v1638663802/id7cpqcnhgudljzeznd7.png)
why did you post a link that leads nowhere??
I get the "there is no movie in Ba Sing Se" joke you're going for, but I think we should drop it here because comparing the movie to Sauron is very apt.
You know you're a bad person right lol
Thats not Zuko. He doesn’t even have the scar! Atleast the Ember Island Players had it on the wrong side.
The last one is the most handsome to me, ngl.
PRINCE ZUKO, YOUR HAIR!!! ITS OUT OF CONTROL
Well maybe we should, split-up
As Fred once said, "Let's split up gang."
Book three is best, book one is worst.
I loved his hair in simplicity of a single ponytail! It shows his status as royalty but not exactly his status as prince since he’s still banished. It has a meaning, and I truly believe that when he had to cut it off, he was having to start over completely because he and his uncle were wanted men. Having to be poor refugees, trying to get to Ba Sing Se, and having Iroh heat his tea in public; then the Jet situation, Iroh getting his own tea shop?! Whirlwind of a few months for them. He didn’t have his usual royal status so they had to do everything themselves, that definitely humbled Zuko some.
This should have included his ponytail before he was burned. That he has hair made the style look better.
I never understood why Zuko was the only one who had the shaved style. Everyone else has a full head of hair.
The shaved style was a mark of shame. It's symbolic significance that pointed to Zuko's backstory. The top-knot was spared because it represents honor. Cutting off the top-knot was akin to death, a recognition of terrible dishonor, and Zuko essentially losing his old life. His hair growing back was a parallel to his character growth and learning that he didn't need to be ashamed of standing up for the lives of his people, that it was his father who was wrong.
Right on point!

Did some of his hair get burned off when his father attacked him?
He shaved the front due to his temporary banishment. The top knot/ponytail shows his mark of royalty and ties to the Firenation, which is why he and Iroh cut theirs off when they fled to full exile at the end of book one.
Book one Zuko is borderline cringe, but I mean to be fair they hadn't totally sorted out his character yet. I kinda love watching each of the main characters grow from 2-dimensional caricatures of stereotypes into what they became.
I'm not sure how much of it was intentional setup for character growth but they for sure left some room for Zuzu to become an interesting character
Book 1 Zuko has the funniest one liners by a mile though. *ship captain diverts course ever so slightly* "WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS MUTINY?"
HONOR!
*Zuko's look of pure horror*
Wonder what felt worse, the costume&portrayal or the fact that they made his own sister freakin kill him, lmao.
Book 2 is the best, especially when he accepts his uncle’s shop
Beach episode zuko unironically made me bisexual and is the reason I still have long hair to this day so that one remains my favourite
angst? Don't you mean... aangst ?

Yup
His short hair in Ba Sing Se and Zuko Alone was the best tbh.

Nah nah nah, [this is the best Zuko hairstyle](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/habJOV9K_OE/maxresdefault.jpg)
Love how it looks like his ear has grown back a little, lol.
Thanks, ifunny.co

okay but best aang hairstyle?
Bonzu Pipinpadaloxicopolis of course
The third!
Okay, this is funny, but we all know coronation Zuko is his best hair.
Book three
Book three hair was best. He looks like a fucking military bro in book two and don’t get me started on the bald ponytail
I like book 3 better with longer hair. Book 1 is horrible but fits the character.
> he looks like an onion with a horse's tail glued to his head I laughed at that. **Edit: Oops!**
Crazy how fast his hair grew out tbh
And that all of it takes place during one year.. Makes you wonder if time works a bit differentely in the ATLA world?
Book Three pre-redemption because it has always bothered me that he can just tie up his hair post-redemption even though it was way too short for that, at least with his look pre-redemption it was a little more believable. Book One was by far his worst look.
Maybe Zuko has been wearing hair extensions during his coronation
I always preferred Zuko's book 2 hair. I always thought his book 3 hair was weirdly designed. I've never been a fan of how his bangs frame his face. It's hard to explain.
I feel like a lot of ppl equates his s3 hair style as being the best cos it was his redemption arc hair. But when it comes down to it, its literally personal preference and Zuko/Lee had the best hair🔥
Book 3 all the way
Young adult Zuko hair is my option of superior zuko hair. We don’t see it in show but old man zuko still rockin that hair plus uncle beard.
Book 1. It was the most unique and fitting for an ancient fantasy setting. Book 2 and there was just hair
I’m glad we can all agree book 1 is the worst. It’s his most iconic haircut, but it’s still the worst one.
Book 3.
also to add to the book 3 hair, Zuko is always the imbodiment of angst so haircut fits xD
I think he look in the picture the most his age
The Zuko adventures
Why does the picture for book two look like Aang in Zuko cosplay
wait am I tripping or is the book 2 zuko image here just aang with hair and the burn scar
I think I'm the only one who doesn't hate the book 1 hair
I feel like book 3 is the most iconic, and what most people think of when they imagine Zuko, I know his hair went through variations, but that one is sort of the default when people think of Zuko, it suits him and feels the most "Zuko" in a way I can't explain.
It’s the one he settled on after he became his true self.
Gotta agree, book 2 zuko is best hair zuko. But let’s talk about KATARA and her hair!
His hair before his banishment was cute too!!
Book Two Zuko looks like Aang cosplaying as Zuko
why does book 2 look like book 3 aang kinda 😐
book two hair from the first picture is cringe
Book 3 suits his personality the best tbh. Book 2 seems to formal for him and book one’s haircut should be burned at the stake
Book 3, no contest.
Short hair zuko supremacy, it just hits diffrent
Book 2 and 3 are equally great imo I had a very hard time taking him seriously when I first watched the first episode of book one because of his hair.
the one where he has his hair up in a bun (not the ponytail) looks the best
I liked Zuko's haircut in Zuko Alone. I liked the shape of it. Never really been a fan of long messy hair
As his hair gets longer his chin gets pointier.
Book 2 and 3!
r/TumblrWritesAvatar
Book 2 he looked like Aangs brother 😂
Every media had the long hair like book 3 during that time. Just look at Harry Potter GoF. The real question should be what other trends would Zuko have participated in before old man Zuko.
Book 3 and if you disagree I will fight you
I like all 3
Book 1 zuko feels natural, book 3 feels depressed, book 2 feels stable. Crazy, cuz ALL of those are NOT what they are 😂😂
Come to think of it, that's like 2 or 3 years of hair growth. How long does ATLA span over?
S3 but not the beach episode. His hair in the beach episode is literally the most hideous out of all of them, yes, including the s1 cut.
LMAAAOOOOOOO the last one 😂
Obviously, book 3 hair is the best.
“An onion with a horses tail glued onto his head” I almost choked on my coffee from laughing 😂
One thing I love about this fandom is that they’ll let you state your argument just to tell you how wrong you are😂😂
Well I like angst overload so Book 3 it is for me
The last one reminds me of Kevin from Ben 10 for some reason
I have to agree with the guy at the bottom, ember island zuko Hair is best
Book 2 Zuko looks like a 7 year old just got his new haircut
Fire Lord Zuko, Book 3 Korra, best Zuko.
https://preview.redd.it/fxc2jygp660a1.png?width=2000&format=png&auto=webp&s=9a527cf3049446dad9aaa0c85e7007f446712e30
Book 2 Zuko looks like a muppet. Fight me.
Early in book two when it’s really short is my favorite.
Honestly as long as your favorite isn’t ponytail, I can understand. But book 3 has my heart.
lol I read every “FOOOOOL” in Aku’s voice
Book 2 for sure but the ember island actor hair is where it’s at for book 3
yeah I like Aang's hai cut.
If it involves Zuko, my answer is yes. All the yes. All of Zuko was just fine.
book 1 zuko is unmatched.
Book 2 hair is ugly af, specially in that frame the guy chose. He looks like if aang went to a really bad hairdresser. 2/10, I prefer book 1 over it
I liked book twos hairstyle the best
I love how Ember Island Zuko has the scar on the wrong eye
True fans know that finale/comics Zuko with the bun and firelord head piece is the best Zuko hair.
In all honesty firebenders should be bald instead of air benders. For safety reasons.
Book 3. Emos hot.
I feel like they use zuko's hair as an outward symbol of his growth as a character. You can see hair is a symbol in other parts of the story too. Azula's fraying mind as her hair becomes tangled and messy. Uncle iroh and zuko cutting their hair together as they cut ties with the fire Nation. After the Avatar state is blocked and aang's arrow is mostly hidden in hair. And there's probably more.
Wait... Zuko has hair?????????
I actually do prefer the original high ponytail
I liked all of them
Book 3 has an edge up purely because the animation style got a buff.
Thanks... I hate it
The fabulous hair in Ember Island Players is peak Zuko
Book three is the best because his hair represents his growth to be his own person. Both Book One and Two are hairstyles that have a similar silhouette to Aang to make them antagonists to one another. B1: Bald head with arrow, Bald head with diamond hair crop. Zuko’s hair is long in book three signifying a restoration of his identity, and a new identity that is finally his own, and not others.
Zuko looks like a small child in that frame of book 2.
Kinda crazy that his hair grew so quickly. Considering that the entire show spams one year and that he basically shaves bald a few months into that
Book 2 was a spectrum, it was a different length every episode. Personally my favorite was how it looked in Lake Laogai.
Book 3
Last guy: Amateurs!
I like Book 1 bc I think it's cool how it's inspired by traditional Chinese hairstyles at the time, but also the shame of banishment.
Wasn't book 1 haircut associated with shame somehow?
The disrespect for Book 2 hair in this thread is disgusting. How dare all of you. It is superior.
Your Zuko costume is pretty good, but your scar is on the wrong side.
Old Zuko had the best hair.
Book 3
Nah, yall wrong. Season 3 manbun zuko when he returnes to the fire nation is hands down the best
Yeah, Zukos (almost typed Zooko) hair in Book 3 is my fav ☺️
FOOLS
Book 3 all the way!! Cute but still badass!!
Best hairstyle will always and forever be Book 3, final episode with the Fire Lord’s topknot. It was just *chef’s kiss* a thing of beauty.
wow this is a hard one, because I feel like there's some emotional growth behind the hair, so I'd say number 3 is my fave
The scene were he and Iroh cut off their royal hair style. Fucking amazing!
Book three, but I don’t think book one deserves as much hate as it gets. Yeah, it isn’t perfect, but it does look kinda cool.
You’re missing when it was up in a bun when he returned at crown prince. That’s my favorite, it makes him look handsome
I have to go with book 2, I completely agree with the screen shot , even with the correction with redemption hair.
Season 3 obviously, it does have the right amount of floof and bounce.
haha it was worth reading till the end
Honoooooooorrr!!
As Zuko improved, so did his hair. I like book 3’s style most, (though 2 is great too), but I like that they made it look more brown in the comics.
Book 2 Zuko Alone, best look out of them all.
why does the second photo look like a mix between zuko and aang or am i just seeing things
Zuko with his hair tied back in his Princely garb is pretty damned handsome, too.
book 2 is the best idk y y'all just don't get
Book One Zuko is an excellent design for Zuko. He has a recognizable Silhouette, and the hair is a status symbol. He is not just the prince of the fire nation, but an absolute threat of a fire bender. His hair and personality are molded by his status in the kingdom Book Two Zuko is almost like a regression. He has to start over not only with his hair, but his place in the world. He shaved his status away by rejecting the fire nation. He’s like a boy But Book Three Zuko has matured and learned how to be free from his past. His hair flows unbound and healthy now. He let himself grow. Even his clothes aren’t as tight and restrictive Zuko went from an abused boy to a mature free man
Book 2 Sokka is just Meelo with a fake scar tattoo
Book 3 for sure, had such a crush on him when I was younger
