11 Times Daryl Dixon’s Hair Told You What Was In His Heart

Proof that all Daryl\'s bottled-up emotions end up squeezing out through his follicles.

Daryl Dixon of “The Walking Dead” doesn’t like to talk about his feelings.

But that’s okay, because they’re written all over his… head.

Over the years, Daryl’s hair has always acted like a sort of broadcast system for what’s inside his heart, projecting his joy, anguish, anger and love from its roots to its tips. Here, we’ve rounded up 11 of the most important moments from Daryl’s emotional journey in hairdos.

When we first met Daryl, he was sporting a more closely-cropped style that was similar to his brother, Merle’s — reflecting not only his family loyalties, but his limited emotional range.

Those sweaty little tendrils are a sure sign of worry.

Matted on one side, fluffy on the other: Clearly, Daryl was experiencing some internal conflict in this moment.

When he’s with Beth, Daryl’s emotions runneth over — much like his hair runneth over his shirt collar.

Today’s Daryl Dixon hair-as-feelings forecast: Filthy and outta control.

Those bangs part in just the right place to give him an unobstructed view for zombie killing. Stylish, yet functional — sort of like Daryl.

Bouncy, healthy, and with subtle highlights: That’s joy hair, you guys. The hair of joy.

You can always tell when Daryl is in a back-to-nature sort of mood, because he styles his hair just like a wood elf.

Here, Daryl’s bangs gently kiss his forehead, kind of like he was probably hoping Rick would do.

Notice how big Daryl’s hair is in this scene? That’s because it’s full of anguish.

And let’s never forget how, after the fall of the prison, Daryl’s bangs split right down the center… just like his heart.
