Ear-covering hair is a hairstyle with long sideburns that can cover the ears on both sides of the head. It is also a moe point in ACG subculture.

Introduction

Ear-covering hair refers to a hairstyle that can cover the ears. Usually, this type of hairstyle is basically long or semi-long hair. There are two situations: full ear coverage and incomplete ear coverage. Some people deliberately grow hair at the ends of their temples for some reason so that the hair at the ends can cover their ears.

This hairstyle can cover up facial disadvantages such as raised ears, or it can protect the ears in some way. There are also some people who take advantage of this hairstyle to hide their headphones...

The authors of some works don't need to draw ears because the characters' hair can cover their ears.

People with this hairstyle are more afraid of windy and other weather conditions, because this can make the hair tough the ears, causing itchiness in the ears, and this hairstyle can also affect part of the person's hearing.

In ACG works

• In works of fiction, people with this hairstyle basically have semi-long or long hair.
• Some characters will use this hairstyle to conceal their true identity (such as being elves), hide something, or cover part of their facial flaws.
• The animal ears of beastmen (beast girls) are their characteristics and need to be displayed. In this case, whether the missing human ears are displayed or it is shown that the human ears are still there, these will come off as out-of-place, and even produce an "uncanny valley" feeling, so such characters often have this hairstyle, such as the horsegirls in Umamusume Pretty Derby.
