this is very similar to what I had been trying to draw for an entry. I couldn't get my drawing to look the way I wanted so I didn't enter but I must say this is nicely drawn for braid detail.
I want to know how entry number 9 even made it to the final ones without being disqualified? we all know that was completely taken from Final Fantasy 8 Quistis
if that was the case I would have exactly done that and gone with a style they've already created and have in their roster of characters in the FF world.

for male: I was a miqote before the contest ended xD so I was so into making a long samurai themed hairstyle

For femalesince i wasnt female at the time I was having a lot of throughts about the female hairstyle I wanted to go for a serah/messy/long hair while having a high ponytail hairstyle since theres not hairstyle like that But I was hoping that a hairstyle like the one from omgtree could make it to the finals :( since that was my second option for female hairstyle but with bangs

Some of those hairstyles for the female entries were not appealing at all...
Going to point out that #1 looks exactly the same as #14 too. #9 isnt even original... it's Quistis' hair from FF8. and #10 doesn't even have a back view. This contest doesn't even follow it's own rules. D: Judging by this thread it looks like they didn't really look over all the hairstyles.
Here is what I came up with and a couple of extra I didn't bother to submit.
