Oakland may not be known for a particular hairstyle, but we have had people who are known for their hair. List below:
Sports Figures
Photo via WikipediaPlayed for the Oakland A's from 1968-1976 and is famous for a handlebar mustache that he still sports. The mustache has inspired hipsters everywhere. Learn how it all started here: http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/76108760/v171641683
Derek Norris (former A's player)
Coco Crisp- current A's center fielder. Goes back and forth between very little hair, braids and a fro. In this video the fro defeats the helmet many many times. The fro has become such a symbol that people often wear cardboard cutouts of the fro above their heads during games in support of the A's.
Ben Davidson - Played for the Oakland Raiders from 1964-1971. He was also in several movies [including Conan the Barbarian], tv shows, and commerials [including Miller Lite]. Read more: http://www.sfgate.com/raiders/article/Ben-Davidson-towering-Raiders-lineman-dies-at-72-3682923.php#ixzz2U3gOhv6m

Is a beard hair? If so, Best Beard of the East Bay 2013 winner Max Ogden surely qualifies. This is him with his beard in what may be minecraft Oakland.
