And for the winner? Cleaned up brushed version of the Lightning hair with the forehead showing, or pretty much a minimally adjusted version of a number of different hairs already in the game, with what could essentially be a piece of head gear (the flower) to make it stand out.
Honestly, you're just grasping at straws to try and prove that the one you like is so original and unique, while claiming the winner is just a copy. Cherry picking at it's finest.

Personally, there were a bunch of hairstyles shown in the thread of people NOT chosen that were far more amazing than anything in the contest. There were two, in particular, that were just gorgeous. But, we got what we got and it's done now.
